The View Host Floats Bizarre Theory Why Trump Would Ax Education Dept

�The View� host Sunny Hostin claimed on Thursday that President Donald
Trump wanted to gut the Department of Education because his end goal
was to foster the growth of a �permanent underclass� of uneducated
laborers.

Hostin made the comments during Thursday�s broadcast of the ABC News
midday talk show � even as Linda McMahon, Trump�s choice to serve as
Secretary of Education, sat on Capitol Hill taking questions about how
she planned to lead the department if confirmed.

Responding to Trump�s assertions that he would prefer to ultimately
dismantle the federal Department of Education � turning the power over
to the states � Hostin argued that he�d gotten the idea from Project
2025 despite his repeated insistence that he�d never even read it.

�You know, getting rid of the Department of Education is actually the
first goal listed in the education section of Project 2025 � We warned
everybody,� she said. �She also argued that the Department of Education
wouldn�t actually save very much money because it was small compared to
other government agencies.

Hostin followed that with her claim that the real reason Trump planned
to ax the department was to reduce the number of American children who
are provided a good education.

�It�s not really about saving money,� she said. �I think there�s a much
more nefarious reason for it.�

�Which is?� cohost Joy Behar asked.

�I think it�s because they � without education, you get cheaper labor,�
Hostin insisted. �I think what they want to do is to create in the
United States a permanent underclass, a permanent cheap workforce,
because educated workers cost more. That is the bottom line and that is
what they�re doing.�

McMahon addressed that point during her hearing, saying that she
believed � as she said Trump also did � that �the best education is
closest to the child.�
