“The destruction of the U.S. Department of Education will have an immediate impact on the children in our community. This action does not represent our values. As an educator in Warren, I’ve seen the direct benefit of federal funding going to our most vulnerable students. Republicans are at war with our children. They voted to cut their health care (Medicaid), they voted to cut their food (SNAP), and now they are cutting the jobs of the people protecting their education. You cannot claim to love your country if you compromise the future of our children. Republicans are saving pennies just so they can spend hundreds by passing tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. Where are our Congressmen? Rep. John James and Rep. Tom Barrett have to give their constituents answers over why billionaires deserve more from taxpayers while our students lose access to a fair education.”
