The administration's plans to abolish the Department of Education through executive order are deeply concerning. Education is a fundamental right and a crucial investment in our nation's future. Dismantling the Department would deprive millions of students access to essential educational resources, services, and protections. It would exacerbate inequalities, balloon class sizes, cut job training programs, make higher education unaffordable for many, deny services for students with disabilities, and erode civil rights safeguards. Rather than undermining education, our representatives should prioritize strengthening and funding public schools to provide high-quality, equitable learning opportunities for all children. I urge you to oppose any efforts to eliminate the Department of Education and instead advocate for robust investment to improve outcomes and open doors for America's students.
