A Democratic U.S. senator and a Native American education advocate said Thursday that President Donald Trump’s executive order calling for dismantling the U.S. Education Department could have disastrous impacts on Native students. Trump signed the order Thursday, advancing a campaign promise to take apart an agency that’s been a longtime target of conservatives. He has derided the Education Department as wasteful and polluted by liberal ideology.
