The Republicans want to ELIMINATE the Department of Education - and they’ve begun by laying off HALF of its entire workforce.
Let’s be clear: This is stupid and will hurt students at all levels, from college-bound high schoolers to kids in after-school programs to every single kid in this country with a learning disability.
I’m Gay Valimont, and I’m running in a special election on April 1st - less than THREE WEEKS AWAY.
I’m a community activist and mom who knows that the Middle Class was BUILT on good public education - something that the new Secretary of Education Linda McMahon (her husband is the pervert wrestling guy) has worked to destroy.
They are dismantling every gain we’ve made in education brick-by-brick because, as with all government services, they believe that ONLY THE RICH deserve good education.
As the product of public education, I know that these cuts and this philosophy is DEAD WRONG and that these cuts to the Department of Education are going to hurt America.
These cuts are stupid - help us teach Republicans the lesson that America cares about public education.
