On Tuesday, President Donald Trump said his team is finalizing an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, which would require action from Congress.

The department advises and supports schools and universities across the country by distributing millions of dollars in funding, enforcing civil rights laws to prohibit discrimination, bringing national attention to major issues across education and collecting data from schools to carry out education research.

Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, joined NY1 political reporter Bobby Cuza on “Inside City Hall” Wednesday to talk about the potential effect on the U.S. education system.
