The U.S. Department of Education plays a vital role in ensuring equal access to quality education for all students across the country. Its dismantling would have far-reaching consequences, particularly for vulnerable populations like students from low-income families, students with disabilities, and English language learners who rely on federal funding and oversight to receive the support they need. Without the Department of Education, the distribution of federal education funds and enforcement of civil rights laws could be compromised, potentially exacerbating existing disparities in educational opportunities. Additionally, the loss of the department's guidance and resources could hinder efforts to improve student outcomes and address systemic issues in education. I urge you to take action to protect the Department of Education and safeguard its critical functions. Eliminating this essential agency would undermine our nation's commitment to providing every child with a fair chance at success through education. Instead, we should work towards strengthening and adequately funding the Department of Education to better serve the needs of all students and ensure a brighter future for our country.
