The Department of Education plays a vital role in promoting equal access to education and protecting the rights of disadvantaged students across the nation. Eliminating this agency would remove a crucial federal safeguard against discrimination and deprivation of equitable educational opportunities. We cannot afford to undermine efforts to provide quality education to all children, regardless of their background or circumstances. I urge you to reconsider dismantling the Department of Education and maintain its essential functions to uphold the principle of equal access to education for every student in America.
