Trump has promised to abolish the Department of Education. This could be interpreted in a few different ways and its possible he won't really change anything. I'm putting this up because I'm curious what the consensus view is on this. Hat tip and credit where credit is due: the first 5 options and the prompt are from a Substack article David Friedman wrote: https://daviddfriedman.substack.com/p/abolishing-the-dept-of-education
I'm open to adding additional options if you think of any, just add a comment with a suggestion. I will close this at the end of Trump's term or after there is a change that goes into effect that decisively answers the question.
