A coalition of education advocacy groups, including the NEA and NAACP, has filed a lawsuit against President Trump's executive order to dismantle the Department of Education. The lawsuit argues that this move endangers student success by jeopardizing class sizes, job training programs, and special education services, while also impacting student civil rights. The coalition criticizes the administration's ongoing staff cuts and $1.5 billion reduction in funding for established educational programs. This challenge highlights significant concerns about the future of education in America amidst ongoing political controversies.
"Nothing is more important than the success of students. America's educators and parents won't be silent as Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and [Education Secretary] Linda McMahon try to steal opportunities from our students, our families, and our communities to pay for tax cuts for billionaires."
"Gutting the Department of Education will hurt all students by sending class sizes soaring, cutting job training programs, making higher education more out of reach, taking away special education services for students with disabilities, and gutting student civil rights protections."
