Trump moves special education and civil rights offices out of Education Department in latest dismantling
—The Trump administration moved special education and civil rights responsibilities out of the Department of Education as part of the ongoing effort to dismantle the agency. The restructuring prompted worries about civil rights enforcement and the future of federal special education protections. Esquire described the moves as 'another way to make a mockery' of the department. The actions build on earlier steps to reduce the department's size and scope.
