State Attorneys General Sue the Trump Administration to Stop Attacks on Department of Education

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“Nearly two dozen Democratic attorneys general have filed a lawsuit today against the Trump administration, seeking to stop its efforts to drastically downsize the Department of Education.

The lawsuit, filed in a Massachusetts federal court on Thursday, comes just two days after the administration laid off more than 1,300 employees, a move that critics say represents an attempt to dismantle the department from within. The Trump Administration terminated more than half of the Department's employees.

The layoffs have drawn fierce opposition from educators, lawmakers, and civil rights groups. The lawsuit argues that these mass terminations are unconstitutional, violate federal labor laws, and threaten the ability of the federal government to effectively oversee education policy nationwide.

While the Trump Administration cannot abolish the Department of Education via an executive order, it can significantly downsize and dismantle the Department into a barebones shell of itself. That's what it is currently doing.”

Very good.

“…threaten the ability of the federal government to effectively oversee education policy nationwide.”

Meaning the already poor quality of education in Republican-controlled states would become even worse.

How do the states have standing? This is a federal legislative and executive issue.

TOO FUNNY! These STATE AGs have no standing to tell the federal government how to run a FEDERAL agency.

You lose.

Trump LIVES to litigate.

He's gonna stomp your asses.

The only thing that changes at the state level is that they will have access to more education dollars.... when education was run by the states we had better test scores... isn't that the point?...

The U.S. is at the bottom of the international education system while being at the top of money spent per student. Does that mean anything to today's left?

They don't, just more lawfare.

As long as a state gets the amount of money they need for the kids (not teacher unions and administrators) be it through what's left of the DOE or through a block grant (if the DOE is abolished) they can't kick.

They are just pissed that the money is going gonna be scrutinized concerning how much that they really need.

So no, no more money to be kicked-back into DNC coffers....That's their real gripe.

Lol, that statement right there is exactly why the federal government doesn't need a department of education ..


Every state has their own DOE...we don't need the federal government putting their hands in it.

What did you expect. The entire education cartel, especially the teacher's unions, depend on Democrats for free money as much as the Democrats depend on the education cartel for votes. This is exhibit A for vote buying. If they broke up that cozy relationship, our kids could get educated instead of indoctrinated.

Teachers work like dogs and these folks at the DoE need a staff of four thousand to file paperwork and write position papers.

It's utter crap.

All done intentionally.

America's education system has been sabotaged by WEF/Democrats who are trying to intentionally collapse America.

Democrats = traitors

The teacher unions don't want to see the money train stop rolling. Neither do the politicians, since some of that money goes in their pockets, too

Democrats fund NGOs with US tax dollars

NGOs donate the money to Act Blue

Act Blue donates the money to democrats

Democrats = traitors

Receipt of funds I imagine. You could read their docs to confirm.

There is no plausible harm to the states only theoretical harm. That still isn't cause to grant them standing, it is not a state issue.

Because we educate ALL of our children.
When parents send their kids to school unprepared, we have a problem.

Top students will learn, the ignorant will continue to be ignorant.

As representatives for recipients of federal monies, they have standing.

What does the department of education do again?

The actual recipients should be suing then, not those without a dog in the fight. AGs have no standing on this.
