The article from USA Today discusses a significant development in the U.S. Department of Education under the Trump administration. Oklahoma Representative Tom Cole has been appointed as the new Secretary of Education, replacing Betsy DeVos. Cole, known for his conservative stance on education policy, has expressed intentions to focus on school choice, reducing federal oversight in education, and promoting policies that align with traditional values. His appointment has sparked a mix of reactions, with supporters praising his commitment to educational reform and critics expressing concerns over potential cuts to public education funding and the emphasis on privatization. Cole's background includes a strong advocacy for charter schools and voucher programs, which he plans to expand. This move is seen as part of a broader strategy by the Trump administration to reshape the educational landscape in America.
