President Donald Trump described the Department of Education as a “scam work”, after saying that he saw a report that the nation occupies the 40th position throughout the world in education, but the number one in cost per student.
Trump spoke with journalists on Wednesday afternoon from the Oval office when asked how soon he wanted the Department of Education (DOE) to be closed.
“Oh, I would like to close immediately. Look at the Department of Education. It’s a great scam job,” he replied. “They classified the main countries of the world. We are in the number 40 position, but we are in number 1 position in 1 department: Cost per student. Then, we spend more for a student than any other country in the world, but we ” re classified number 40. “
Trump said that the last time he observed where the United States was classified in education, he held the 38th position, but then looked two days ago, and the country had fallen to number 40.

The teaching of CRT and other controversial content in schools, has caused a violent reaction of parents at the meetings of the school board throughout the country in recent years. During his presidential campaign, Trump promised to reduce federal funds for schools that promote CRT, transgender ideology and “any other racial, sexual or political inappropriate content for our children.”
