Lindsey Burke ran the Heritage Foundation’s education policy center for 17 years, writing papers, testifying before Congress, and pushing for the dismantling of federal involvement in schools. In 2021, she co-authored a paper calling for “allowing families an escape hatch from government schools pushing an agenda that runs counter to their values, like critical race theory and ‘transgender ideology.'” When Representative Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) asked her at a House Education Committee hearing in April 2024 whether she supported the Department of Education, Burke leaned into the microphone: “No — dissolve it.”

Fourteen months later, with Trump in office, she joined the agency as deputy chief of staff for policy and programs. On November 18, Burke led the briefing announcing six interagency agreements that move billions of dollars in education programs to four other federal agencies. The 44-page chapter she wrote for Project 2025 declared that the department “should be eliminated.” She is now overseeing that work from the inside.

The Trump administration is executing Project 2025’s vision for federal education by dismantling the Department of Education. Already, Title I funding for low-income students has moved to the Labor Department, and Native American education has shifted to the Interior. After eliminating half the agency’s workforce since January, Education Secretary Linda McMahon has imploded her department in what she calls a “hard reset.” Congress, which alone has the constitutional authority to abolish a cabinet department, has yet to act — leaving millions of students, educators, and nonprofits caught between a policy manifesto and an uncertain future.

Burke’s chapter provided the roadmap. “The next Administration will need a plan to redistribute the various congressionally approved federal education programs across the government,” she wrote, “eliminate those that are ineffective or duplicative, and then eliminate the unproductive red tape and rules by entrusting states and districts with flexible, formula-driven block grants.” The November 18 agreements follow her Project 2025 directives almost verbatim. The Labor Department assumes operational control of most K-12 and postsecondary programs. Health and Human Services absorbs child care and foreign medical accreditation. The State Department inherits international education and foreign language studies.

1. Our job in 2029 (or 2027 if Trump and Vance are impeached and removed).

Build it back better.

Create our own project 2029 that sets out a national education and national service program that reflects truly shared, core American values and aspirations.

2. First we have to dismantle what this Administration has done.

Then we can rebuild.

If we are to succeed, we will be forced to do what this administration has done
Mass firings, dismantle everything (not literally) to their core foundations, repeal all executive orders by the Felon, investigations, hearings, trials, convictions. Enforcement of IRS investigations on those that bribed and those that recieved bribes. Hearings on Justices with possible impeachments.
We're talking scorched earth policies. We need to join the I.C.C. since the Felon has immunity in our Country. Turning over the culprits will go a long way to rebuilding trust with our allies.
I could go on and on, but you get the picture.

4. First and foremost, we have to remove them from power

If they maintain their hold on the house and senate, there will be no recovering from this. They are working like ants (i mean that from the standpoint of they are being quick, deliberate, and unwavering) to get their election suppression (what I call “cheating”) in place for 2026. Indiana just gerrymandered 2 seats and Texas has their 5 seat gerrymander rubber stamped by SCROTUS. We shall see what happens.
