National Education Association Pres.: ‘This Administration Is Stealing Billions of Dollars from Our Students’

EXCERPT:

PRINGLE: “You know, Sara, let's be clear, every level of government has a role to play in making sure that every single one of our students gets what they need and what they deserve. The federal government's role in the establishment of the Department of Education was after the Civil Rights Act, where we knew that there were inequities that existed in every social system in this country. And the federal government's role was to try to close those gaps so that our students with disabilities could get the education they deserve. Our students from low income families could get the extra resources that we know they needed. It is not OK that this administration is stealing billions of dollars from our students to give billionaires tax breaks.”
