Education Dept lays off ~50% of workforce, now in process of abolishing the agency, Corey DeAngelis reacts

On this episode of the podcast, host Amanda Head talks with education policy expert Corey DeAngelis to discuss the recent firings at the Department of Education and the broader push to reduce bureaucracy in public schooling. DeAngelis makes the case for eliminating the Education Department entirely, citing inefficiencies, constitutional concerns, and the benefits of returning control to the states. He highlights the success of school choice policies in red states and calls out teachers’ unions and Democrats for standing in the way of reform. With public education struggling — only 15% of teachers recommend the profession, despite the U.S. spending $20,000 per student annually. DeAngelis argues that it’s time for a revolution in education and shares his insights from his Trump-endorsed book, “The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids From The Radicals Ruining Our Schools.”
