John Klyczek discusses his deep research into what the Trump administration is doing with education. On one hand, it appears Washington is looking to downsize or eliminate the Department of Education. On the other hand, there is evidence control of schooling is going to be expanded so as to streamline "ed-technocracy" for the Fourth Industrial Revolution and implement a social credit economy.
