In a 6-3 Supreme Court decision today, the majority have blocked a lower court ruling that stopped the Trump administration Dept of Education from downsizing the federal agency.
The justices apparently voted 6-3 to stay the lower court ruling with the DEI justices (gay, latino, black) filing a 19-page dissent. [SEE RULING HERE] The high court lifted an injunction a federal judge in Boston granted in May against the firing of Dept of Education bureaucrats.
The lower court judge ruled the staff cuts were so drastic they would prevent the department from carrying out duties mandated by Congress. He also said the mass firings appeared to be part of Trump’s plan to eliminate the Education Department entirely, despite a lack of congressional authorization to do so.
Today, the Supreme Court again affirmed the President is within his power to control the size and scope of the executive branch.
WASHINGTON DC – “Education Secretary Linda McMahon called the decision “a significant win for students and families,” but she added in a statement: “It is a shame that the highest court in the land had to step in to allow President Trump to advance the reforms Americans elected him to deliver using the authorities granted to him by the U.S. Constitution.”
The Education Department announced its so-called reduction in force in March, giving affected workers a termination date of June 10. Those layoffs had been temporarily halted by the lower-court injunction. But shortly after the Supreme Court’s ruling Monday, some affected employees received an email informing them that they will now be terminated on Aug. 1. (read more)
I know a few teachers. They are happy with this outcome. The system was broken and exploited just like every other corrupt system of gov. Smash it, then fix it, put measures in place to avoid future corruption. This is the way.
I agree except with the concept of “fix it”. It’s an unconstitutional overreach by the federal government. The feds have no right or need to be involved in education.
Just block grant the $$$ back to the states and local communities. Liberal states will continue down the failed path and conservative states will innovate and make their schools better for the KIDs and the teachers.
Oh no, I definitely did not mean for the Gobmint to fix it, they can and do eff up anything they touch. I think private schools are on the better track, but I am not smart enough to provide any real solution to this big of an issue, lol.
Look up the Rosenwald schools. They were mostly funded by a philanthropist, but it was a community investment; parents helped to build these sun-lit local schools.

Anything the ‘government’ gets their hands into goes to shite; get government out of education, medicine, pharmacy, energy, personal taxation, charities, AND Our surveilled lives.
BIG Government is detrimental to freedom. Period.
You are correct “smash it, then fix it, and put measures in place to avoid future corruption”………follow the constitution to a T.
a federal judge in Boston granted in May
I’m glad to hear the ruling went in our favor, but the fact these deadbeat bureaucrats hung around for an additional two months ticks me off. I think I realize time is short so I want POTUS to get as much done as quickly as he can without interference from low life lib in a black robe.
The SCOTUS has awoken! Yippee!
When the threat of the Epstein list is remove, you can get a lot done
Carter created the DOE of his own volition so Trump can dismantle it on his own. It’s not any more complicated than that.
The DOE was created by an act of Congress not by an executive order.
As soon as we get rid of the Dept of Ed. and the big Union influence teachers can once again teach!
There should be NO such thing as a “teachers union” especially if it is run by Communists. Communism is a giant Union that operates for the benefit of the Union Officials ONLY.
The NEA and the AFT were chartered to be professional organizations not labor unions.
The only teachers upset are the perverts
I was just a thinkin’, a fun Constitutional Amendment would be that any time a Federal Judge is overruled 3 times, that judge must resign from office. Something interesting to consider anyway.
Why not let everyone know who this judge is that got overturned. His name is Myong J. Joun and he was nominated by biden.
he was also overturned on an injunction he issued to prevent the freezing of teacher grants for DEI training. He doesn’t seem to understand the constitutional issues involved in these cases. In other words, he doesn’t seem to be qualified to be a federal district judge; maybe he could be a traffic court judge – those cases aren’t too complicated.
Another foreign born judge. It figures.
MAGA FABULOUS.
👊👊🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes!
Woot, woot!
Not tired of winning yet!
We wonder why our kids are woke?
Dont be surprised when you send your kids off to Caesar that they come back as Romans.
