On Thursday, a federal judge in Massachusetts issued a preliminary injunction blocking President Trump and U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon from carrying out Trump’s executive order calling for the secretary to close the Education Department.
The judge also told the administration to reinstate the roughly 1,300 Education Department employees who were told in March that they would lose their jobs as part of a sweeping reduction-in-force and “to restore the Department to the status quo.”
In his ruling, District Court Judge Myong J. Joun wrote, “A department without enough employees to perform statutorily mandated functions is not a department at all. This court cannot be asked to cover its eyes while the Department’s employees are continuously fired and units are transferred out until the Department becomes a shell of itself.”
these poor fucking kids, y’all.
covid in 2020, trump again in 2025, decades of anti-education bullshit…
real victims of the information war
Luckily for them, they’ll never be able to understand what was taken from them.
So I guess there’s that…
No Child Left Behind was the first shot against education
Yeah, that, and the damn voucher scam they used to begin siphoning funding from public schools into private ones. Now they’re just straight up trying to fund private religious schools with taxpayer dollars. Blatantly unconstitutional, just like the rest of this admin.
Not quite the information age I was promised in the 90s… Womp womp
