Educators and union members protested in San Diego against the Trump administration's proposed cuts to the U.S. Department of Education, warning that they could severely impact special education services in California. Leaders highlighted that job losses among para-educators could directly affect classrooms, undermining support for students in need. The rally also addressed broader issues, including the effects of the Trump presidency on marginalized communities, emphasizing the vulnerability of DREAMers and LGBTQ+ individuals. Speakers underscored the need for collective action to protect vital educational resources and civil rights from these substantial policy changes.
"The cuts at the U.S. Department of Education, which will lay off over 1,300 people, may devastate special education services, putting at risk vital support for students."
"Freitas emphasized the dire consequences these cuts could have, not only on special education students but also on the overall structure of student support systems."
