    Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been combing through the embattled agency and has cut $982 million in spending so far.

    The bulk of that - $881 million - was saved by ditching 89 contracts dished out by the department’s Institute of Education Sciences.

    Many of those contracts were for special studies tracking student learning, evaluating teaching strategies, and tracking educational trends.

    Yeah maybe ripping almost a billion dollars away from the department of Education to stop them from literally doing their job isn’t the best play here…
