Conservative Nonprofit Publishes List of Bureaucrats for Trump to Dismiss at Education Department

January 16, 2025 - 23:36

A conservative nonprofit organization, the American Accountability Foundation, has unveiled a "watch-list" featuring ten prominent bureaucrats at the Department of Education, whom they characterize as "left-wing." This initiative aims to provide guidance to former President Donald Trump, should he seek to reshape the department during a potential future administration.

The foundation argues that these individuals embody policies that are misaligned with conservative educational values and priorities. By targeting these bureaucrats, the organization believes that significant reforms can be implemented to enhance the educational landscape in the United States.

The list includes officials who have been associated with various controversial policies and initiatives that the group claims undermine parental rights, school choice, and educational standards. The American Accountability Foundation's move is part of a broader strategy to influence educational policy and ensure that the Department of Education aligns more closely with conservative principles. As the political landscape evolves, the impact of such lists on future administrative decisions remains to be seen.
