Trump Wants to Abolish the
Department of Education. Congress Must Stop
Him! | | |
Donald Trump's latest
scheme is to try and fully abolish the
Department of Education. This is not only
reckless and harmful — it's also illegal. The Department
of Education (DOE) was created by Congress, and only
Congress has the power to eliminate it.
Education is the
foundation of democracy, and we must defend it at all
costs. Yet, unwilling to let the
law stand in his way, Trump is
preparing an executive order anyway to
gut the department from within. This will undermine its
essential functions and leave students, teachers, and
families to bear the consequences.
The DOE exists
to ensure that every student in the U.S. has
access to quality education, regardless
of their background or location. It provides essential
education funding for schools, protects students with
disabilities, and ensures schools are a source of
egalitarian learning in order to provide all children in
the U.S. with opportunities for their futures. It also
oversees federal student loans, which millions of
Americans rely on to afford higher
education.
Trump and his allies are
already working to dismantle the
department by forcing employees out and
installing operatives from Elon Musk's so-called
'Department of Government Efficiency' (DOGE) to
slash funding and disrupt
operations.
This blatant
overreach is not just an attack on public education —
it's an attack on the rule of law. Congress
must hold the line and refuse to allow Trump to destroy
the Department of Education. His executive order cannot
lawfully dismantle the agency, but it can weaken it to
the point of dysfunction.
Sign the petition to
demand that Congress protect the DOE and ensure that it
continues to serve the millions of students, parents,
and educators who rely on it every day!

Without the DOE, essential services would be thrown into
chaos, leaving our most vulnerable students without the
support they need. Sign the
