The Department of Education plays a vital role in ensuring access to quality education for all students across the nation. Laying off nearly half of its workforce could severely undermine its ability to effectively administer crucial programs and services. This risks leaving vulnerable students without the resources and support they need to reach their full potential. Rather than gutting the Department, we should be working to strengthen and expand its capacity to serve America's students, parents, and educators. Massive staffing cuts will only create disruptions and hamper the Department's core mission at a time when steady leadership is paramount. We must prioritize investing in education as a foundation for individual growth and national prosperity. I urge you to reconsider these destabilizing layoffs and instead explore measures that bolster the Department's vital work.
