The role of the executive as well as the role of the judiciary is codified in the constitution. Judge shopped district judges are usurping presidential responsibility. That the last president ignored that responsibility doesn't require that the current one does as well.
And when states don’t enforce the Constitution, federal agencies grow to check and make sure that they do
The department of education came into existence because of discrimination being perpetrated by the states. And because states were not offering equal access to education.
The federal government has grown because of inequality among states and - as we are witnessing - that inequality grows when the federal government isn’t involved.
I have more bodily autonomy in NJ than a woman in TX does since the fall of Roe.
Now, with the dismantling of the Dept of Ed - a disabled student in a public school in NJ is going to have more recourse in NJ than they currently have in TX, because state laws in NJ are stronger - so is state funding.
The dismantling of the dept of education has resulted in thousands of case files that will likely sit for months - if not longer - without being reviewed at a federal level.
At least here in NJ, state petitions are being heard. I can’t speak for what’s happening elsewhere. But we know the federal complaints are completely backlogged at this juncture because the firings within the dept of education have made it impossible for the remaining staff to get through the complaints in a timely fashion.
How when the department is dismantled and the remaining employees have hundreds of files and complaints backlogged?
This is what federal agencies have grown to address.
IDEA is a federal law.
We have an appelate court system for a reason. It is designed to prevent a single 'rogue' judge hamstringing the administration. All the Trump administration has to do is convince an appelate panel that the district judge was wrong.
The Constitution gives the President no powers for enacting laws that are necessary to carry out the powers granted to the federal government, including the power to raise revenue, declare war, and organize the executive and judicial branches. That is in the powers the Constitution gives to Congress and the Judicial branch.
Correct.
To delay is to deny

They worked in coordination and conjunction.
The federal government has no authority when it comes to education. However, what the federal government does have is billions of dollars that the states lap up like kitties at a bowl of milk. There is no constitutional requirement that the feds dole out those billions, and likewise, there is no constitutional requirement that the states take that money.
IDEA is a federal law.
It is Constitutional and based on:
Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 of the Constitution
AND Section 5 of the 14th Amendment.
The DOE was a mechanism by which IDEA federal law was enforced.
Education is controlled by the state and local authority - but how states provided education has to abide by federal law AND the Constitution.
States can’t just do whatever they want.
It’s not what they “allegedly” must do.
It’s expensive to educate kids in 2025.

It’s not what they “allegedly” must do.
It’s what they’re legally obligated to do by not only federal law - but by their own state constitutions.
Why federal money?
Because lots of states and municipalities don’t have the money locally to do it on their own
The FAFO leopards are waiting in the wings
The executive does not have the authority to ignore the constitution. This argument from Trump supporters is one of the dumbest, as well as unamerican arguments I’ve ever seen.
The fact people are arguing against that pretty basic concept shows how far gone they are.
The executive does not have the authority to amend the constitution via executive orders (14th amendment birthright citizenship). So yes, he is operating in an unconstitutional matter.
