Thanks @PattyMurray and @SenSanders! We agree @usedgov implements vital programs that ensure students have access to the services #audpeeps + #slpeeps provide. Congress should not eliminate ED or outsource programs that support students to other agencies.
.@SenSanders and I are demanding answers from the Trump administration about what exactly is happening at the Department of Education. This former preschool teacher is not about to roll over and let Elon Musk destroy public education in America.
