Trump Guts the Department of Education, Slashing Public School Resources for 50 Million Students

• This week, Trump gutted the Department of Education by cutting department staff in half — jeopardizing the future of 50 million public school students. 

• Trump’s attack on the Education Department is only the beginning. He wants to fulfill his wildly unpopular Project 2025 agenda and fully eliminate the department. 

• Gutting the Department of Education will have disastrous consequences for tens of millions of families, threatening billions of dollars that support K-12 schools, working families, and low-income schools while gutting student loan debt relief. 

• Trump and his billionaire megadonor Education Secretary Linda McMahon are pickpocketing our public schools, which will lead to ballooning class sizes, fewer teachers and aides, and a lower quality of education for our kids.

• Former Department Secretary and fan of Charter Schools supports these efforts.

• The management of student loans transferred away from the Dept of Education.
