Supreme Court allows Trump administration to cut teacher-training money, for now With the justices split 5-4, the Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration's plea to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in teacher-training money as part of its anti-DEI efforts.

Funding cut for teacher training programs.

Retaliatory “frozen funds”because of “DEI initiatives”.
Dismantling of the DOEd.

Trump is prepping an executive order to dismantle the Dept. of Education, directly harming students. It will drain resources from the most vulnerable, skyrocket class sizes, make higher ed more expensive, strip special ed services, and gut student civil rights protections. We won't let this happen.
