The Department of Education plays a vital role in ensuring access to quality education for all students, regardless of background or circumstance. Eliminating this department would have severe consequences, particularly for disadvantaged communities. Millions of students could lose access to essential funding, services, and civil rights protections. Public education is a cornerstone of our democracy, and its dismantling would exacerbate existing inequalities. Lawmakers must reject any attempts to weaken or abolish the Department of Education. Instead, Congress should work to strengthen public education by increasing funding, supporting teachers, and expanding programs that promote equity and opportunity for all students. The future of our nation depends on providing every child with a high-quality education. I urge you to take a stand against efforts that undermine this fundamental right and priority.
