Trump's Winning Streak: What's Happening to the Education Department?

The Supreme Court recently made a big decision. They let the Trump administration fire about 1, 400 workers from the Education Department. These workers did important jobs. They gave money to schools and students. They also made sure everyone's rights were protected. Now, a lot of that work will stop. This is a big deal. The president isn't supposed to just get rid of a department like this. But the Supreme Court said it was okay. They didn't even explain why. The three liberal justices disagreed. This isn't the first time the Supreme Court has helped Trump. They've done it a lot. They've given him a lot of power. And they usually don't explain why. This time, they let him get rid of a whole department. That's a big change. It's something that hasn't happened before. Trump has been clear about his plans. He wants to shut down the Education Department. He said it was a "big con job. " His education secretary, Linda McMahon, said she would "put herself out of a job" by shutting it down. In March, Trump signed an order to close the department. McMahon said they would fire more than half of the staff. Some states, schools, and unions sued. They said Trump couldn't just get rid of a department. The lower courts agreed and stopped the firings. But now, the Supreme Court has let Trump fire those workers. Justice Sonia Sotomayor said this would cause big problems. Many offices will close. Others will slow down. Offices that help students with disabilities will be gone. Offices that help schools follow the rules will be destroyed. Offices that give money to schools will have very few workers left. Schools will have a hard time getting the money they need. The Constitution says the president can't do this. It says Congress makes the laws. And Congress hasn't gotten rid of the Education Department. It says the president has to follow the laws. But Trump didn't follow the rules. He just tried to get rid of the department. And the Supreme Court let him. This is a big problem. The Supreme Court is supposed to be fair. But they're not being fair. They're letting Trump do things they won't let other presidents do. They're letting him break the rules. And they're not explaining why. This is a problem for everyone.
