Team — Project 2025 proposes many drastic and extreme changes, but this one takes the cake.

Trump and Project 2025 are attacking the Department of Education. How might they reshape US schools?
— The Guardian, July 4, 2024
"Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s rightwing manifesto for a potential incoming Trump administration, lays out how dismantling the federal education department would work, leaving behind, if anything, a husk focused solely as a “statistics-gathering agency that disseminates information to the states”, writes Lindsey Burke, the author of the education chapter and leader of Heritage’s education policy center. The department’s elimination is one of many goals contained in the extensive conservative playbook that will inform a second Trump term. Project 2025 calls for privatizing education and driving out any programs related to LGBTQ+ youth or diversity."

That’s right — within the nearly 1,000-page document, right-wing extremists are pushing to eliminate the Department of Education, Head Start programs, and gut Title I funding for public schools across the country.
Ending Title I would eliminate nearly 7,000 teaching positions and impact over 17,000 students across Illinois alone. Project 2025 would also use what’s left of the Department of Education as a tool for their culture wars, stoking division and policing what’s taught in classrooms.
We have to put a stop to this extreme agenda. Can we count on you to pitch in $4 right now to help us protect this frontline seat and win this November?
