In the coming days, President Trump is expected to sign an
executive order that would follow through on one of his major
campaign promises: to abolish the U.S. Department of Education.
The catch is that he still needs the department to impose his
vision on American schools.

Dana Goldstein, who covers education for The Times, explains how
Mr. Trump is balancing his desire both to dismantle and to
weaponize the Education Department.

Guest: Dana Goldstein, a reporter covering
education and families for The New York Times.
