President Donald Trump said on Friday that federal special education operations, currently spearheaded by the U.S. Department of Education, will move to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS.) He also said he is aiming to move federal student loan and school nutrition program oversight from the Education Department to the Small Business Administration. “It’s going to be a great situation. I guarantee that in a few years from now… I think that you’re going to have tremendous results,” said Trump, while seated in the Oval Office of the White House. Relatedly, Education Secretary Linda McMahon wrote in a piece for Fox News that abolishing the department “will not happen tomorrow,” but that she plans to pave the way for Congress to take action. “We will systematically unwind unnecessary regulations and prepare to reassign the department’s other functions to the states or other agencies,” she added. Democrats on the House Education and Workforce Committee have introduced a resolution calling for transparency and information on plans for the Education Department.

The Texas Senate has passed Senate Bill 13, authored by state Sen. Angela Paxton, R-McKinney, which grants parents greater authority over book selections in public school libraries. The bill, approved by a 23-8 vote, mandates that school boards, rather than librarians, have the final say on library materials. Paxton stated, “No child should pick up a book in their school library of all places and be exposed to inappropriate, harmful material within its pages.” Critics argue that this legislation could lead to increased censorship, particularly targeting books featuring people of color and LGBTQ+ characters. The bill also establishes local advisory councils composed mainly of parents to recommend book additions and removals, raising concerns about the potential impact on diverse literature availability. As book bans rise in Texas, with around 540 books banned in the 2023-24 school year, the implications of SB 13 are significant for educational access and representation.
