Trump breaks up Education Department, prompting worries over civil rights

President Trump's decision to move special education programs and the civil rights office out of the Education Department has raised significant concerns about the future of civil rights protections in education. This move could potentially weaken the enforcement of civil rights laws, particularly for marginalized students, and has sparked debates about the administration's commitment to equity in education. Critics argue this restructuring may lead to diminished oversight and support for students with disabilities and those from underrepresented communities, signaling a troubling shift in federal education policy.
