Rep. Ro Khanna: Vivek Vowing to ‘Delete’ Education Dept. ‘Horrifying’ and ‘It Doesn’t Understand History’

EXCERPT:

KHANNA: "Well, it's horrifying, and I think it doesn't understand history. First of all, look at the real world impact that that would have. It would mean kids who are getting pell grants to be able to go to college, that would be in jeopardy. It would mean a lot of schools, Title One schools that get federal funding, that would be in jeopardy. If you have a child who has autism or special needs, your -- education of your child, if they go to public school, would be in jeopardy. So as a student of public schools and as someone who took out over $100,000 of loans to have a shot in America, I'm deeply concerned. And it was our investment in education from 1910 to 1940, where we went to high school first before Europe, that made the American dream possible and the GI Bill and made America a superpower. So I'm deeply concerned with just this kind of blanket, let's cut education."
