Protect the Department of Education

To: Sen. Sheehy, Rep. Zinke, Sen. Daines

From: A constituent in Bozeman, MT

March 18

I'm writing to ask that you oppose any legislation, including H.R. 899, or efforts by the executive branch to dismantle or abolish the Department of Education. The recent 50% reduction in staff is unacceptable, and will hurt students with disabilities, strip away civil rights protections for millions of students, and end crucial workforce development programs that boost our economy. Education is a fundamental right, not a privilege for the wealthy. I have been a public school teacher my entire life and you are not representing my colleagues and me if you do not put a stop to the destruction of the Department of Education. Access to PUBLIC schools for ALL students sets the United States apart from every other place on this earth. It is the foundation of everything that matters in this country. DO WHAT YOU KNOW IS RIGHT.
