Email from Organization Name The damage the Trump administration is doing to our public education system cannot be un-done by local school boards. It is going to require Congressional action to block the worst of Trump’s executi John, On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration can continue with its efforts to dismantle the Department of Education:  Closing the Department of Education has long been the dream of right-wing special interests who wish to dismantle our public education system to privatize our schools—diverting federal resources to private institutions run by right-wing extremists who will use the education system to indoctrinate your children and line their pockets. And although it was pitched by Trump and Elon as a way to save taxpayers money, this move will actually increase the burden on taxpayers, requiring communities to raise property taxes to cover the shortfall in federal funding—increasing your taxes or driving up the cost of your rent. That’s what is already happening in the schools that I oversee on the school board I serve on. They rely on 70% of their funding from local property taxes, and with these new cuts that cost will be even higher, which will be the same story in communities across the nation. The damage the Trump administration is doing to our public education system cannot be un-done by local school boards. It is going to require Congressional action to block the worst of Trump’s executive actions and to restore the federal funding that is so crucial for our children’s futures. That is one of the main reasons I am running to be the next Congresswoman for IL-9. Will you help send a Democrat to Congress who has experience in public education and who will do the work necessary to stop MAGA’s plan to privatize our schools to push their extreme agenda on our children while lining their own pockets by chipping in $5, $10, or even $50 dollars?
