Trump addressed these layoffs from the Oval Office yesterday when a reporter noted that many of the affected employees served during his first term.

Well, to hear Trump and McMahon tell it, not a whole lot. McMahon has stressed that this first round of layoffs won't impact student loans or programs dedicated to students with special needs. The cuts seem largely targeted at the department's Office of Civil Rights, which is charged with enforcing Title IX policies. So things like whether or not schools should have gender neutral bathrooms.

Trump has said he wants to stop the abuse of your taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America's youth. And McMahon says she wants to return control of education to the states. The department has already cut $600 million in grants for training teachers in things like social justice activism and anti-racism.

So we should expect to see a lot more of that type of cut while the department reassigns things like student loans and special needs programs to other federal agencies or even state governments. Well, it's certainly going to be interesting to see how these changes are handled.
