Tell Congress: Protect the Department of Education

Donald Trump is signing another fake executive order – one that he claims can get rid of the Department of Education, which millions of students, teachers, and parents rely on to ensure every child gets the education they deserve.

How will this impact your school board, your kids' education, and the funding your local schools rely on? What opportunities could be taken away from your kids or grandkids? And without the Department of Education’s guardrails, what extreme policies could be forced onto our classrooms?

We shouldn't need to keep saying this, but Trump is a president, not a king. He can't close federal agencies without Congress – his attempt to do that at USAID got shut down in court. 

And if he had the votes to pass a bill, he wouldn't be staging today's stunt. That sure won't stop him from trying – no matter what our Constitution, the will of the voters, or basic common sense says.  

Let's make sure this attack on our schools is dead on arrival in Congress – can you tell your lawmakers to stand up for students today?
