It appears that 4,000 bureaucrats are about to lose their jobs and three very expensive buildings in Washington DC will be vacated. The Department of Education is about to get axed. This should make @Red very happy as he feared Trump would rewrite the history books used to teach schoolchildren. Now the very department that could do a thing like that is being eliminated. The school books used to teach kids will be up to the local school boards which are far more accountable to the parents of those kids.

Technically true, but you don't need Congressional approval to Schedule F almost all of the 4,000 employee in the department and fire them.

Trump’s Schedule F plan, explained

In October 2020, the Trump Administration issued an executive order called Schedule F that would have stripped protections from civil servants perceived as disloyal.

You'd probably want to go that way anyway as it will take some time to wind down some of the things the department handled, but having local school boards take up some of the things the Department of Education used to do is something that can happen quickly.

Firing everybody in the agency wouldn't change the fact that the functions of the department would still be required by law.

If the goal is to just have no staff to handle these, and therefore no Dept. of Education, the government would get sued to hell and back, and would lose. You'd just get legal chaos, massive delays, and political backlash, all while still being forced to find a way to carry out the same responsibilities.

Maybe. I'll admit that you do make good points. We'll see how it plays out.
