I AGREE WITH THIS! Look what came out of it... trump...LMFAO 😅

Education Department will cut about 50% of its workforce, sources say

The US Education Department will start sweeping layoffs beginning this evening, sources tell CNN, as the Trump administration continues its efforts to shrink the size of the federal government.

The department is expected to cut about 50% of its workforce with notices starting to go out this evening, three sources familiar with the plan tell CNN. The department employs around 4,400 workers.

The cuts come as President Donald Trump has been mulling over an executive order to eliminate the department altogether, which was expected to be signed last week but was never announced.

Earlier today, the department announced that its offices will be closed this evening and tomorrow for unspecified “security reasons” with employees instructed to work remotely though they are not permitted to.
