AFT President Randi Weingarten sounds alarm on Trump education cuts Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, is sounding the alarm on the Trump administration's cuts to the Department of Education​.

Trump & his co-president Elon Musk are wreaking havoc. The Dept of Ed levels the playing field, ensuring every child has a fair shot. Cuts to funds will hurt millions of kids—all to fund billionaire tax breaks. This is not what people voted for. www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...
