Landmark Ruling Empowers States, Sparks Debate Over Federal Role in Schools
In a decisive 6-3 ruling on July 14, 2025, the Supreme Court upheld President Trump’s authority to enact a sweeping reduction in force (RIF) at the U.S. Department of Education, greenlighting his executive order to shift education control to states.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon hailed the decision as a victory for families, arguing it streamlines bureaucracy and prioritizes students.
The move, affecting 1,378 employees, aims to redirect resources to classrooms while fulfilling Trump’s campaign promise to curb federal overreach.
The ruling, rooted in executive authority, emphasizes President Trump’s bold reform agenda but faces ongoing lawsuits from 20 Democratic-led states.
This landmark decision could reshape American education, amplifying state power amid fierce national debate.
