Trump seeks to shrink federal role in education with new executive order.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday ordered Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to review the U.S. government's role in school policy, which supporters cheered as the first step in creating more local control in education and critics worried could lead to lower quality schools in poorer neighborhoods.

The head of the American Federation of Teachers union, Randi Weingarten, said the current education law already reduces federal power over schools.

"What the new law doesn't do is abandon the requirement for the federal government to protect the civil rights of our students, even if those rights run counter to what states and districts want to do."
