Donald Trump's executive order to eliminate the US Department of Education was met with strong opposition from teachers' unions and Democratic leaders. Randi Weingarten of the AFT and Michael Mulgrew of the UFT pledged to pursue lawsuits against the order, emphasizing the need to safeguard public education. Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized the move, arguing it neglects the implications for students and working families. Polls indicate a significant majority of Americans are against dismantling the Department of Education, revealing public support for preserving educational resources.
Elizabeth Warren stated, "Trump is telling America's public school kids that their futures don't matter... but it will be working parents, students, and teachers who pay the price."
Michael Mulgrew emphasized that they would hold the federal government accountable, asserting, "We will join our national union and public education allies to protect students and educators."
