The Education Department plans to announce Tuesday that it will move multiple parts of the agency to other federal departments, an unprecedented and unilateral effort to dismantle an agency created by Congress to ensure all Americans have equal access to educational opportunity and better coordinate federal programs.
The move was described by three people informed of the plan ahead of the announcement. Two of these people said six offices within the department would be shifted elsewhere; the third person said it was at least two.

A healthy, broadly educated population which feels safe and secure is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
I mean, we’ve got the entire 1960s/70s turn towards Reaganism suggesting the opposite. A broadly educate population secure in its ethnic majoritarian control of private property is ripe for conservative ideological poisoning. The landlord class loves the Republicans. The high income working class loves Republicans. The Professional Managerial Class loves Republicans.
So long as Republicans are willing to operate as gatekeepers - guaranteeing White Christian Men dominate the private sector - they will continue to be a magnet for corrupt and ambitious American social climbers.
