Repercussions Of Trump Actions On Special Education

Trump's firing, a week or so ago, of everyone in Special Education at the Department of Education.

This is working its way through public schools and the latter started cancelling Special Ed funding.

Not clue how this is going to get resolved.

He is forcing the issue on the states like so many other programs.

To my knowledge nothing is being talked about in this state. Yet I suspect the answer might be similar to the health care issue in making a coalition of democratic states.

Trump is really trying to divide the country up over all these cuts.
Trump comment about his special needs nephew: just let him die, then move to Florida.

Fred C. Trump III has been hoping this moment would arrive for more than 20 years — a moment when he can leverage his polarizing last name to advocate for the disabled community on behalf of his 25-year-old son, William, who has complications from a rare genetic mutation.

Fred, a nephew of former President Donald Trump, recently entered the spotlight with the release of his book, All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way, in which he describes growing up in the Trump dynasty and details his experience raising a child with "complex" intellectual and developmental disabilities.

In one shocking excerpt from the book that immediately made headlines, Fred, 61, claims that Donald, 78, once told him to "just let [William] die" due to the cost of care, even after Fred brought advocates to the Oval Office to discuss how the government should be more supportive of disabled people and their families.

@ElwoodBlues that is so sad and disgusting
@ElwoodBlues there's nothing good inside this guy. Nothing at all.

With this administration (unlike any other in 🇺🇸 history), *no* education is a good education. Did we expect anything but the absolute worst when he put a woman in charge who shouldn't even be within 100 miles of the DoE building? About the only good thing I can say about Linda is that she is a New Bern (NC) native.
The Republicans are trying to forcibly turn back the clock on many hard-fought victories for all sorts of people...but this is their std playbook
