Donald Trump just signed an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education. This move threatens funding for public schools and critical programs that ensure all students receive high-quality education, including Head Start, early career, and special education programs. Trump's executive order will directly harm students by weakening oversight necessary to help ensure all students receive a good education.
In a moment of increased antisemitism on college campuses, the Department of Education plays a critical role in protecting Jewish students. The Office of Civil Rights, housed in the Department of Education, oversees allegations of antisemitic behavior on campuses; by shuttering the Department of Education, Donald Trump undermines the key enforcement mechanism that can combat antisemitism and protect Jewish students.
Sign below to urge Donald Trump and your elected officials to stand with Jewish students and save the Department of Education.
