    What federal authorities is he directing to do this? It seems to me maybe the department of education would do this , but hey he got rid of that agency.

    Maybe NASA can do it….

      I’m assuming the states? Even then, the US is just waay to big to enforce at the rate he is trying to shirk it at a federal level.

        States by definition are not federal.

        What the Trump critter doesn’t get is executive orders are not laws.
