How dismantling Education Dept. could affect schools

The president claims the department is wasteful and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says the order will move to greatly minimize the agency. LiveNOW's Austin Westfall discusses what this means for the nation's schools with Dr. Shaan Patel, CEO and founder of Prep Expert, a college admissions and test preparation company.
