Comments
Enforces IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) and 504 plans under IDEA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Without this, schools could refuse accommodations to kids who need them. (🧵2/14)
Enforces Title IX (protecting students from sex discrimination), Title VI (protecting students from racial discrimination), and ensures equal opportunities for English language learners and low-income students.
(🧵3/14)
Sends billions to public schools, Title I schools (low-income students), special education programs, and Pell Grants for college students. (🧵4/14)
Manages programs like Public Service Loan Forgiveness, income-driven repayment plans, and loan relief programs. (And yes, you’ll still be responsible for loans even if the DOE is disbanded). (🧵5/14)
Investigates discrimination, ensures civil rights laws are followed, and prevents fraud in higher education (like scam colleges). (🧵6/14)
Funds initiatives to improve teaching methods, early childhood education, and STEM programs to keep our kids competitive globally. (🧵7/14)

As the Mom of a child amputee and a child with Autism/ADHD, IEPs and 504s are essential to the future of these kids. In the long run, the cost to society would be much greater without these programs.
All this voucher shit also should be banned, if you can afford to send your kid to private.
ESPECIALLY religious schools!
Energy prices
Authoritarianism
Inflation
Kleptocracy
Political corruption
Poverty
Sectarianism

Public Schools, Public Education, essential for the People, to our country!
We didn’t tell people what these agencies were doing for the people.
DOE enforces DEI.
MAGA Mindset: "All them kids that make mine look bad need to go!"
91% of its budget goes to Pell Grants, Student Loans, underresourced elementary + secondary schools, and special education…
Myself, I am horrified by literacy rates in this country, it explains a lot. Before both parents had to work, mainly due to republikkkon financial policies, we grew up with a stay at home mom, who would read to us and that was our head start .

Keep the country as stupid as him and the entire GOP. I can’t wait until all this backfires in their faces.
The red states that are currently ranked at the bottom in education will suffer even more without DOE funds
and if you don’t see the light on what the DOE does after that lesson…. you may owe me your Recess for remedial intervention support!

A fools errand.
