New York Attorney General Letitia James is leading a coalition of 20 attorneys general suing the Trump administration to prevent its plan to dismantle the Department of Education and reduce its workforce by half. Critics fear these cuts will severely impact educational resources, particularly for low-income students and those with disabilities. James argues that the administration’s justification of reducing waste is a guise to deprive students of essential services and funding. The lawsuit highlights the significant financial impact on states, particularly New York, which receives substantial federal funding for its schools.
This administration may claim to be stopping waste and fraud, but it is clear that their only mission is to take away the necessary services, resources, and funding that students and their families need.
Firing half of the Department of Education's workforce will hurt students throughout New York and the nation, especially low-income students and those with disabilities who rely on federal funding.
