Public school teacher here. Last year, there were no paper towels in the restrooms the last two weeks of school because we ran out of money and the custodial staff had to wait for the new fiscal year to start before they could order more. Anyone who thinks public schools are properly funded is out of their mind. There isn’t “waste and abuse” here unless you think spending money on helping kids is wasteful…

@s.teacherplanner6108

Another school teacher here… I have several Special Education students in my class who depend on Title I funds for support. Lord knows I need those therapists, counselors, etc. to help me educate these students. We barely have what we need to teach. I swear this nation wants our children under educated to continue their MAGA agenda… it’s infuriating!!

@Shirley-l4q

So sad. Education is the back bone of a country.

Sad Sad time in America, so so sad

@SharonAnn1999

The Department of Education was established by the Department of Education Organization Act of 1979, which means it was created through legislation. Only Congress has the power to repeal or amend this law to dismantle the department. I hope some group or Democrats sue and block this in the courts.

@christyritter1828

The dismantling of America. Project 2025. 😢

@rietstrijker4828

I feel your frustration and as a former teacher I feel how this feels. Love from the Netherlands

@kanduli3298

The Democrats should and must  develop collective spine to fight the corruption of this evil administration

@teresahopemiller1008

I knew trouble was coming for those of us with disabilities when Trump made fun mocking the reported with a disability. I feel for the reporter.

@DireVisitor-g4n

I am so angry about this.

@Ann-x7s

Good morning David.  This reading was super important, because education is the best thing that can happen to any generation.  All nations want the upcoming generation to be really well educated so we have responsible governing of all departments.  The future depends on this.  Cutting education is not a very bright move.  ❤from Canada 🇨🇦

You'll end up with 50 different educations. This will essentially create fifty different sets of history. 50 different sets sets of values. 50 different countries.

@fletch2681

So depressing! Former school teacher who champions knowledge and truth. Special needs daughter who came so far only because of the programs available. Thank you David so much for all you do, especially this video.

Hi David. I am a retired teacher.  People have no idea how much teachers love their kids.  The Federal Department of Education sets policies for how to help students with disabilities.  They also support poor school Districts. Trump voters also live in poor red states. Those states will suffer. I worked two full time professions to afford to give my students the best experiences I could imagine. Republicans have filthy minds. No teacher, I've ever known  talked to kids about sexual orientation, nor did we focus on the evils of the USA. I was proud of my work. I'm 68, and I'm still  FB friends with former students. No child should ever go hungry. No student should be punished for things beyond their control. Most teachers teach because it's a calling.

@merelyneboniface9130

I can feel your frustration and disappointment in what is happening.. ❤ and best wishes from New Zealand ..

@user-ho5gj8fz2q

Was the department of education originated for Americans to have common information across the nation and recently, no child left behind. This shake-up is very important  and scary.

@ResilientLives

Trump said (1) "I love the poorly educated" and (2) that his tariffs are designed to bring a lot of factories back to the United States.  My guess is that he wants most people to be only educated enough to work in the factories that he thinks are coming back to the United States.

@Pixie-ix1so

The poor Red States are going to be hit the worst

@gloriouse4458

THANK YOU 🙏🏽 FOR THE VERY INFORMATIVE VID 💔💙

@reneerednour3951

This makes me sad.  Two of my kids are involved in education.  This is going to hurt many people.  The Republicans don't want people educated.
