The Trump administration took drastic action that will harm millions of students across the country. By firing half of the Department of Education’s staff, President Donald Trump has followed through on his Project 2025 agenda, severely weakening the department’s ability to serve students in need.
This move will make it much harder to provide crucial resources for students with disabilities, English language learners, and children living in poverty. The impact will be felt in every classroom, with fewer teachers, larger class sizes, and reduced mental health and behavioral support for students. Moreover, it will limit access to higher education, making it even more difficult for students to pursue well-paying jobs in the future.
