Closing the department of education will mean the end of Pell grants and federal education grants! This will punish poor students and students in red states which have lower state taxes and thus gives less state money to education!

Trump says he will close the Education Department, which provides federal funding to public schools, and in the next breath says he will use federal Education Department funding as leverage to control public school curricula in liberal cities.

Even if Trumpists don't close the department, they have a backup plan: gutting the primary federal law on special education. That would wipe out protections for 7 million students with disabilities.

Republicans want a two tier system. Those who have nothing and those who have everything. First step, keep poor and middle class uneducated. Soon there will be no middle class.

This is exactly the kind of garbage that makes my blood boil. Every time they talk about dismantling public education, I want to scream. Trump and his cronies, like DeVos, don’t care about our kids’ futures—they want to turn education into a profit machine, filling their own pockets while leaving the rest of us in the dust. Stripping away public education means selling out our children for the greed of a few, leaving the most vulnerable behind, and making quality learning something only the wealthy can afford. #WeAreNotGoingBack

Have We not yet woken to realize We are not gonna defend one issue at a time?
It's absurd to dicuss no tips on wages & social security
or the loss of Pell Grants when it is an ongoing deliberate decimation of the /search?q=#USNation.
We must address the Fact of /search?q=#Bipartisan Complicit /search?q=#Sedition.
Only /search?q=#TheTruth (available in /search?q=#FairytaleLand) can save US now.
Stop dancing & start defending; using Our Agenda, /search?q=#NotTheirs.

BTW, a lot of those students in poor public schools also rely on those schools for at least one full meal a day.

These grants allowed me to become a first generation college student from a poor family. Going on to get my PhD. It breaks my heart to see these opportunities taken away from other kids from poor families.

I think all special Ed teachers are probably federally funded.

Good educations needed for productivity and collective prosperity. Many schools still failing at teaching basic skills.

The impact on Spec Ed & students w/IEP’s will be devastating. It’s so un-Christian to disregard the rights & needs of the most vulnerable among us.

Absolutely. Plus, by the time those students even get to the point where Pell grants, etc. become an issue, their educations/futures will have already been plundered.

And decimate funding for essential special education programs in K-12.

That’s his plan. They like segregated charter and private schools.
