Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump present contrasting education plans on the campaign trail, focusing on federal involvement in schools. Trump emphasizes expanding school choice, saying at a rally, “I believe that school choice is the civil rights issue of our time.”He also plans to cut federal funding for schools teaching critical race theory or gender ideology, and one of his biggest priorities is eliminating the Department of Education.”I’m going to close the Department of Education and move education back to the states, and we’re going to do it fast,” Trump said.Experts warn that eliminating the Department of Education could create chaos.”In the short term, I think it would create a certain amount of chaos and confusion in the way education resources are understood and allocated,” said Michael Feuer, a George Washington University professor.”We are not going to let him eliminate the Department of Education that funds our public schools,” Harris said.Meanwhile, Harris advocates for increased federal investments in public education to make it more affordable from preschool through college.”We see a future where every student has the support and the resources they need to thrive and a future where no teacher has to struggle with the burden of student loan debt,” said Harris.Others argue that canceling student loan debt could exacerbate college affordability issues.”It enables colleges to raise their prices more quickly than they have because they say, ‘Take out big loans because you won’t have to repay them,'” said Neal McCluskey with the Cato Institute.
