Urge the Senate to Reject Attacks on the Department of Education!

U.S. SENATE:

As a concerned constituent, I am writing to urge you to reject Sen. Mike Rounds’ bill (S. 5384) that seeks to eliminate the Department of Education. Any effort to scrap the Department of Education would have disastrous impacts on schools, students, and educators across the country. I firmly believe that we should be bolstering our education system to tackle the challenges in schools today, protecting the freedom to learn, and ensuring that every child has access to a safe and inclusive education experience.

I demand you reject this legislation and any other attacks on the freedom to learn or efforts to weaken the Department of Education.

Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) introduced the latest attack on public education—a bill designed to fulfill one of Project 2025’s goals by eliminating the Department of Education. If passed, this would be catastrophic for schools and students across the country. The Department of Education plays a vital role in distributing and monitoring public spending on education, working to ensure equal access to education for all students, collecting performance data on America’s students and schools so that resources can be equitably allocated, and more.
