Closing the U.S. Department of Education might seem straightforward, but it’s far more complicated than many realize. Amid renewed discussions sparked by the Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE), ASMSA Executive Director Corey Alderdice unpacks why this popular policy talking point encounters such significant roadblocks.

You'll gain clarity on the nuanced roles played by Congress, the executive branch, and the judiciary, and why—even with strong political backing—shuttering the Department is anything but simple.
