Preserve Education Department's vital role for student success

The Department of Education plays a vital role in ensuring equal access to quality education for all Americans. Its programs support students from pre-kindergarten through higher education, promote educational excellence, and enforce civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination in education. Terminating the Department would undermine these essential functions and jeopardize the future of our nation's youth. We should instead focus on strengthening and improving educational opportunities, not dismantling the institutions dedicated to this critical mission. I urge you to oppose H.R. 899 and any efforts to eliminate the Department of Education.
