Contributor: The White House intends to slash the education safety net

Donald Trump for public education.

Do not be fooled by DEE billions of versions last week for the next school year. Education Secretary Linda McMahon has since the surprise decision in late June, to keep the financing of the government examined all programs To make sure that President Trump is confronted. In fact, the White House was underwater under protests from teachers, parents and school inspectors around the country, both sides of the corridor. A week ago, 24 states filed a lawsuit against the administration for already allocated education financing.

If the president’s way, the commentary will be temporary. The Trump campaign was a promise of an election framework that closed the Ministry of Education and financing priorities.

Already, approximately 2,000 doe personnel were assigned or left under pressure. Half of this agency’s staff. On July 14, the Supreme Court decided to take precautionary measures against fever as the cases that protested the fires progress in the courts. In essence, the decision gives Trump a green light by the administrator Fiat to destroy the department, even if the Supreme Court decides that only the Congress has this power.

The majority of the Supreme Court did not explain its reasoning. According to an opposing view, justice Sonia Sotomayor, justice Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, wrote for delay or reject or reject education opportunities and reject students without federal resources without federal resources.

McMahon shows that his agency thinks of his “last mission :: Federal financing for school regions that cannot prove that they have eliminated diversity, equality and exclusion, or Trump’s“ critical race theory and transgender madness ”. Bets are high: The withdrawal of approximately $ 30 billion aid.

Based on the 1st Title of the 1965 Primary and Secondary Education Law, based on the Law on the 1st Title of the 1965 Primary Education and Secondary Education Law, Washington should deposit dollars by closing the success gap that distinguishes the privileged young people from poor and minority students and children living in poverty.

These funds support smaller classes, post -school programs and private lessons. Research shows that Title 1 may request loans for the improved performance of disadvantaged students on the national educational progress assessment of the national educational progress assessment. The most innovative programs, including face-to-face learning with one-to-one, face-to-face learning with preschool, charter schools and post-school schools and post-school schools and post-school schools and post-school schools and chicago programs, have recorded especially dramatic results.

Supporting students with disabilities will become a history with the necessity of providing “free and appropriate education ına to young people with special needs of schools. This will have a catastrophe effect on these students, which are historically desperately rejected, because they can change the publication of need -oriented special education lives.

McMahon, who demanded that they have eliminated the Deı as a condition to get a federal fund. [DEI] Programs, “success is the only way to improve success.

Wrong. DEI initiatives have been proven to increase academic consequences, often reduced discrimination, even though they are sometimes at the top. This makes sense – when students are supported and valuable, they do better at school. Deletion of efforts designed to encourage racial and economic justice is a definite way to end the progress to eliminate the success gap.

Obviously, the studies showing the gains obtained by DEI programs are indifferent to a management whose decisions are directed by impulse and ideology. NaEP, which has threats to the gold standard test of American education, is as far as predicting the weather. If you don’t know how good public schools are, it is the child’s game to script a description of failure.

It is a country -wide school coupon program that is stuck in Trump’s Great Beautiful Bill Law and paid with a 100% tax reduction for donations. Up to $ 1,700 to organizations distributing training scholarships. The program does not have a limit that can cost $ 50 billion per year and has no expiry date.

The coupon provision is potentially extinguishing public schools that will lose the federal dollar. Since private schools can decide which students will accept and which ones will go out, the gap between existence and beings will expand. In addition to students with special needs, students who cannot afford to participate in their families will be unlucky.

Moreover, coupons do not provide the benefits that advocates do not promise. With the blessing of the state with the blessing of the state, the work of Louisiana, where the state has increased with the Indiana region, shows that the students participating in coupon plans are worse than public-school peers in mathematics.

Michigan State Education Policy Professor Joshua Cowen spent twenty years examining these programs, It reached a surprising result These coupon plans have led to worse student consequences than Covid Pandememi.

“The coupons promises a very simple solution to challenging problems such as unequal access to high -quality schools, discrimination and even school security, Co Cohen says. “They can seriously prevent academic growth – especially for vulnerable children.”

The advocates of public education are struggling. Twenty states went to the federal court To challenge the request of the Ministry of Education to eliminate DEI programs. Massachusetts Atty said, “Trump administration’s threats to prevent critical educational financing due to the use of these initiatives are not only illegal, but also harmful for our children, families and schools,” he said. General Andrea Joy Campbell, announced the case.

The White House may lose this case. However, the case consumes time and the management sometimes continues to find ways to avoid judicial decisions with the help of the High Court. It may take years for judges to reach the final decisions in these cases and damage has been damaged until then.

For this reason, it is attached to the Congress to represent Congress – Congress to represent the components of the Coupons and special training programs in public schools that constantly support the Siren song of the coupons and to comply with the dictation of the legislation in books for decades.

Will a congress on a back to protect public education portray itself? After all, this is what law and public education require.
