Trump Guts Education Department with Group of Field Trip Kids Who Thought They Were Visiting a Museum

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In what schoolteachers are already calling “a low point for both education and consent,” President Trump signed an executive order Thursday to dismantle the Department of Education—flanked by a group of schoolchildren who believed they were attending a museum exhibit on early American government.

“We were supposed to see a replica of the Liberty Bell,” said one student, holding a souvenir penny. “Then a man in a red tie told us we were part of history now.”

According to sources, the children were rerouted from their original tour after a Trump aide spotted them and deemed them “visually cohesive.” They were quickly seated behind the President at wooden desks, as Trump declared, “These kids are the future—and they don’t need homework to be great.”

Confused but well-behaved, the students doodled in notebooks as the Department’s symbolic death was finalized in a flurry of Sharpie strokes and camera flashes.

Trump then handed each child a signed copy of the executive order “for show-and-tell” and posed triumphantly as photographers captured the image—later titled The Death of Learning, 2025.

Afterward, the kids were ushered onto their bus with complimentary “I Was There When School Died” hats and snack bags containing unregulated charter school applications. Their teacher was last seen attempting to contact the school district’s legal department.
