Senator Mike Rounds introduced bill S.5384 on November 21, 2024, proposing the elimination of the U.S. Department of Education. This bill would transfer education authority entirely to individual states, raising serious concerns about equitable access to quality education across the nation.
I urge you and your colleagues to reject this bill. This bill threatens to create significant barriers for students, particularly those from marginalized communities, by stripping access to essential resources, programs, and opportunities that ensure an equitable education. By undermining key initiatives and institutions that uplift underrepresented groups, this legislation risks deepening educational disparities and reinforcing systemic inequities. Everyone deserves to have a quality education.
