President Trump issued an executive order to dismantle the Education Department, following a previous order expanding school choice programs, including vouchers. Supporters argue that these policies provide more control over how families pay for their children's private schooling. However, opponents, including Democratic lawmakers, contend that vouchers divert taxpayer money from public schools, which serve around 50 million students nationwide. While advocates highlight the success of Catholic schools and increased student performance, critics warn that voucher programs lack essential protections for vulnerable students. Capitol Hill Correspondent Erik Rosales reports.
