Trump moves special education and civil rights oversight out of the Education Department
USA Today—The Trump administration is accelerating its dismantling of the Department of Education, announcing plans to shift oversight of special education and civil rights enforcement to other federal agencies. The moves represent a significant restructuring that critics say could weaken protections for students with disabilities and minority students. The administration framed the changes as streamlining government, while opponents warned they signal an end to the department's core functions.
