Dismantling the Department of Education is nothing less than an abandonment of the future of our country. That's why AFT has joined a lawsuit against the Trump administration to stop its unlawful actions that will hurt students and schools.

Shame on this administration.
Their latest attempt to dismantle the Dept of Education—during American Education Week—is illegal and immoral. Not only do they want to starve and steal from our students—they want to rob them of their futures.
Anyone who claims to care about children should be livid.

Trump’s billionaire-led administration is slashing resources for students in rural communities, low-income families, and those who need special education. Minnesota will fight back.
