The School Voucher Racket is Going National, and it’s Right Out of Project 2025

Watch out. There’s a new school voucher scam — er, proposal — on the horizon, and it’s right out of the Project 2025 playbook. The first step is already underway: break up the Department of Education. While eliminating the agency would require an act of Congress, President Trump is committed to the goal and is reportedly preparing an executive order to initiate its dismantling.

The department primarily oversees the distribution of federal funds to public schools, manages college financial aid and federal student loans, enforces civil rights laws in education, and administers programs for students with disabilities.
