Washington, D.C. (MPG) - On March 20, Congressman Mark DeSaulnier (CA-10) issued the following statement after President Trump signed an Executive Order dismantling the Department of Education.

“President Trump’s action today threatens the greatest investment we as a country can make in our future – public education. Across the country, students are struggling, with a recent study finding that more than two-thirds of eighth graders can’t read at grade level. We should be directing more funding to our schools to meet these challenges to support our nation’s students and families. Instead, Trump is stealing resources from tens of millions of students, including those with disabilities, in underserved schools, and who need help affording higher education, all as part of an effort to give even more tax cuts to billionaires and his ultrawealthy donors.

Let’s be clear – abolishing a federal agency requires an act of Congress, and we will fight this blatantly illegal order in the courts. As a senior member of the House Committee on Education and Workforce, I urge my Republican colleagues to stand up for the thousands of students, teachers, and families in their districts who will be harmed by this reckless action and fight back with us.”
