“Train up a child in the way he should go…” – Proverbs 22:6
In a landmark decision released today, the Supreme Court has granted a stay that allows the Trump administration to proceed with its plan to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education. This ruling marks a historic turning point in the national conversation about who should have the power to shape our children’s education—and it’s a major win for families, faith, and freedom.
For decades, education policy has been steered by federal bureaucracies far removed from the heart of our communities. Parents have watched as unelected officials imposed top-down agendas that often conflict with the moral and spiritual values they strive to instill at home. But today’s decision signals a bold shift back to local control, state authority, and parental rights.
A Return to Local Values
At the core of this move is a simple but powerful belief: Education should be local, not federal. Each state, each school district, and each family should have the freedom to decide what’s best for their children. Whether it’s curriculum, standards, or school choice, those closest to the child should be the ones calling the shots—not distant federal agencies.
This change empowers states and school boards to tailor education to the needs and values of their communities. It restores the voice of parents in shaping not only what their children learn but how they learn it. It is a step toward restoring educational systems that are rooted in truth, tradition, and moral clarity.
Faith, Truth, and Freedom in the Classroom
For many families of faith, this decision is deeply meaningful. It opens the door to educational models that are not hostile to faith, but instead embrace a worldview grounded in biblical truth, responsibility, and virtue. As the nation rethinks the future of education, there’s a renewed hope that classrooms will once again become places where character is built—not just knowledge absorbed.
The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” This scripture calls on parents to be the primary influence in their children’s upbringing. Today’s Supreme Court ruling honors that calling.
What Happens Next?
While the legal process is still ongoing, today’s stay allows the administration to take immediate action. The dismantling of the Department of Education will not happen overnight, but the path has been cleared. What rises in its place will be up to the states—and the families within them.
This is more than a policy change. It’s a movement. A movement to return education to the people, to honor the role of parents, and to let faith and freedom guide the next generation.
