Ranking Member Scott Statement on Committee Republicans’ Move to Dismantle the Department of Education
WASHINGTON – Ranking Member Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (VA-03), House Committee on Education and Workforce, released the following statement after Committee Republicans announced ten bills that would codify President Trump’s Project 2025 agenda to dismantle the Department of Education.
“At the behest of Trump, Committee Republicans have introduced a flurry of bills that would dismantle the Department of Education and offload critical offices to agencies that are ill-equipped to carry out core duties. This would weaken educational opportunities and workforce readiness services for millions of Americans. Despite Republicans’ rhetoric, they are not ‘modernizing’ the Department—they are blessing President Trump’s scheme to dismantle it piece by piece. The American people will bear the brunt of these disastrous policies promoted by Republicans.”
