This has been a consistent theme throughout his campaign, from his "Agenda47" platform to speeches and his support of Project 2025, a conservative blueprint aimed at reshaping the country. But while Trump has made it clear that he wants to reduce the federal government’s role in education, the reality of dismantling such an extensive and entrenched bureaucracy is far more complicated than simply pushing a button.
