President Trump is on a firing spree, and this time, he is cleaning house at the Department of Education and Small Business Administration.
Trump vowed to wage war with Education Department and give power back to the states.
โOn Day 1, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content onto the shoulders of our children,โ Trump said. โAnd I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate.โ
Trump said he wants to strip the entire department.
According to CNN, dozens of employees in the DOE and SBA were fired for poor performance.
Employees in the general counselโs office at the Department of Education were terminated.
It is unclear how many federal employees were fired in total.
Excerpt from CNN:
Scores of firings have begun at federal agencies, with terminations of probationary employees underway at the Department of Education and the Small Business Administration, federal employees and union sources told CNN Wednesday.
The firings mark the first from the Trump administration as President Donald Trump and Elon Muskโs Department of Government Efficiency aim to dramatically shrink the federal workforce. Until now, federal employees across all government agencies had only been placed on paid administrative leave.
A form letter sent to Department of Education employees, obtained by CNN, informing them of their termination stated: โThe Agency finds, based on your performance, that you have not demonstrated that your further employment at the Agency would be in the public interest.โ
At the Department of Education, the firings have impacted employees across the agency from the general counselโs office, to the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitation Services that supports programs for children with disabilities, to the Federal Student Aid office, a union source told CNN.
Earlier Thursday, President Trump fired multiple Biden-appointed US Attorneys.
It is unclear how many US Attorneys were fired in Trumpโs latest purge.
