Supreme Court Allows Trump Administration to Proceed with Department of Education Layoffs

For years, Americans have watched a permanent government in Washington grow bigger and bolder. Unelected bureaucrats often work against the will of the American people who pay their salaries. No matter who wins an election, this “swamp” seems to operate on its own, pushing agendas that have nothing to do with common sense or American values.

Nowhere is this failure more obvious than the U.S. Department of Education. Since its creation, this bloated federal agency has overseen a decline in student achievement while pushing radical ideologies into our classrooms. It has become a symbol of federal overreach, stealing power from parents and local communities who know what’s best for their own children.

The Post Millennial:

The Supreme Court granted a request for a stay on Monday, allowing the Trump administration to continue firing workers at the Department of Education and continue efforts to dismantle it.

The stay was granted in a 6-3 decision, with Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown-Jackson, and Elena Kagan dissenting. The three justices wrote, “When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary’s duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it.” The Supreme Court lifted the preliminary injunction granted by the US District Court of the District of Massachusetts in May, which ordered that around 1,400 employees be reinstated.

On Monday, President Trump took a giant step toward draining that swamp for good. In a major victory, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to allow the Trump administration to move forward with its plan to dismantle the corrupt agency. The court lifted a blockade from a lower court, giving the President a clear green light to clean house.

Predictably, the liberal wing of the court had a complete meltdown over the decision. The three dissenting justices, led by Sonia Sotomayor, accused the President of “lawlessness” for daring to shrink the federal government. Their panic echoed that of a lower court judge, a Biden appointee, who had tried to stop the firings. They believe the President’s job is to protect the bureaucracy, not the people.

A Victory for Parents and States

President Trump celebrated the win, explaining exactly what is at stake. In a post on Truth Social, he called it a “Major Victory to Parents and Students across the Country.” The goal, he said, is simple: “returning the functions of the Department of Education BACK TO THE STATES.” This decision isn’t just about firing federal employees; it’s about restoring the fundamental American principle that education belongs to families and local communities, not D.C. insiders.

This is a promise made and a promise being kept. The administration’s plan would cut nearly half of the department’s workforce, a decisive blow against the administrative state. For too long, this agency has funneled taxpayer money into failed programs while ignoring the needs of students. Now, that era is finally coming to an end.

This ruling is more than just a win in one department. It is a sign that power is finally being wrestled away from the Washington establishment and returned to the American people. It’s a reminder that when a leader has the courage to fight, the swamp can be drained, one victory at a time.
