Their goal is not complicated: This is a deliberate strategy to defund and privatize public education in America.

This is moving us in exactly the wrong direction.

I call on the Department of Education to immediately reverse course and do its job: strengthen our public schools, not dismantle them.
Exclusive: The Education Department plans to move multiple parts of the agency to other federal departments, an unprecedented effort to dismantle an agency created by Congress to ensure all Americans have equal access to educational opportunity.
Trump administration to announce dismantling of much of Education Dept.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March seeking to close the department, but only Congress has the power to do that.

Public schools are for education, not evangelization.

It's November. How are my teacher friends? Are y'all okay? I don't know about you but my school gets really busy about this time. How will you cope?

46 years ago today, the Department of Education was created to ensure equal access to education for all.

Now, as the Republican shutdown continues, Trump is GUTTING the office overseeing special education.

This will hurt EVERYONE!
There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Fellow teachers: how are you spending your summer break? Me? Reading, resting and meditating. Small trip in August.

My mother participated in the sit-ins in North Carolina as a college student. I grew up steeped in our history. It's very ironic that the inauguration of *that guy* is happening on Dr. King Day. Ancestors. What are you trying to tell us?
