44:22Now PlayingDonald Trump and Linda McMahon say they want to shut down the Department of Education. But what would that actually mean for students, families, and schools across America?
Former Education Secretary Miguel Cardona and his Chief of Staff Sheila Nix join Dan Koh to break down the real-world impact — especially for the most vulnerable.
In this episode, they explain:
- Why eliminating the Department of Education could gut special education funding
- How it would devastate rural and high-poverty schools
- What happens to civil rights enforcement when the Office for Civil Rights disappears
- Why Pell Grants, student loan forgiveness, and other federal debt relief programs could vanish
- What this move reveals about Trump’s broader agenda for public education
This isn’t just about policy — it’s about the future of American students.
