President Trump’s latest reckless decision to fire thousands of employees at the Department of Education jeopardizes critical student aid programs, weakens protections for students’ civil rights, and undermines essential support for students with disabilities. This move severely threatens every child’s access to a quality education nationwide.

Trump and Musk are prioritizing tax cuts for the wealthy over the future of our students. It’s selfish, and it’s illegal. This radical gutting of the Department will mean funding cuts for every student:

- 26 million kids across every school district—rural, suburban and urban—will lose access to critical funding to help them get succeed.

- 12 million students will lose access to career and technical education, including pathways to good-paying jobs through apprenticeship programs in trades and STEM careers.

- 10 million students from low-income families could lose access to higher education.

- 7.5 million students with Individualized Education Plans—accounting for 15 percent of all students nationwide —will lose access to special education services.

Democrats seem to be okay with dead people voting so I guess they can also post on social media after death too.

Great grammar.

“Help them get succeed”

Louie (that’s what his mama called him) only used to talk like that when he was real drunk. Rest of the time he just yelled.

Dems can vote after they die. I don’t see why they can’t post on X after they die as well.

How I hate the lying and deceitful Leftist MSM.

Yeah, and yet the DoE has manage to see the US student slip to 40th place among other nations in academics, but spends more per pupil than any other nation. Makes one wonder what good is the DoE.

Why is it always Trump and Musk? It's the Department of Government Efficiency (The DOGE).

The DOGE cuts are to "Education Contracts". You know, the money laundering schemes.
