    Trump harped all year long in the campaign that he plans to eliminate the Department of Education. The motivation for this is to eliminate the evull evull WOKE guvvmint regulations that force school districts to admit neegros and mooslims and weirdo handicap kids, to budget money on uppity female athletes, and cut way down on the money we spend on any of it.

    Now most people in the real world know that eradicating government programs isn't easy, you usually can't just flip a switch, government doesn't work that way, but the god emperor doesn't care about that crap, he wants to make a big announcement and say, "TRUMP SAY!! DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION GONE!!" and the next morning it will be gone -- the department, all its "Titles" and regulations, and all the money it spends (which he can then loot).

    All it will take is the Supreme Court to tell him, "NO." How's that been working out lately??

    Vivek, the co-director of “Government Efficiency” wants to cut 75 percent of federal jobs. So how is 25 percent of the AG’s office going to be able to do anything, much less enforce Title IX?

    Title IX is a government regulation which forces state and local educational institutions to take actions and spend money to promote gender equity.

    Preeeeecisely the type of thing MAGA Nation wants to stop altogether. Not only would the god emperor NOT task any other individual or agencies to enforce those regulations, he would forbid ANYONE from doing it.

    That response doesn't address how ending the Department of Education specifically would end enforcement of laws. If Trump just generally guts federal agencies, whether there is a Department of Education doesn't seem to matter.

    The Department of Education and the laws you associate with it are not coexistent or dependent on each other.

    If you want to argue the Department of Education should not go away, find a better argument than Title IX will suddenly disappear if it does.

    Anyone who has worked on a newspaper where the news staff went from 40 to 10 can tell you how that works out.

    They are co-existent and dependent in order to enforce the law.

    If there’s nobody to enforce the law, then why would anyone feel obligated to obey the law?

    Especially when the ruling junta of the government is hell bent to make sure nobody enforces that law.

    No, they aren't. There is no requirement that there be a Cabinet level Department of Education to enforce Title IX or any other education law. Private citizens can sue under Title IX.
    If there were no Department of Education, the things it is responsible for won't disappear.

    It won't disappear, but it will be drastically easier for schools to get away with violating Title IX.

    Private citizens already can sue under Title IX. The point is that the enforcement arm may be erased.

    Nixon signed it into law.

    What is the enforcement arm that is limited to the Department of Education or the fact that it is a Cabinet level position?
