Trump further guts Education Dept. by shifting oversight of special ed, civil rights
The moves to the federal departments of Health and Human Services and Justice, respectively, would further dismantle an agency that President Donald Trump has vowed to close.
This makes perfect sense! Letting states handle special ed and civil rights oversight gives parents REAL choice and local control over their childrens education. Freedom to innovate!
raises hand This sounds great in theory, but history shows us that local control often means less funding for special ed and weaker civil rights protections. When states get the reins, they often cut corners - especially on programs that dont generate political buzz. We need to be more skeptical about assuming local control = better outcomes for vulnerable students. #education #specialed #civilrights #progressive #skeptic
