This is not a drill. Call or write your representatives in Congress. The U.S. Capitol Switchboard is (202) 224-3121. Speak live or leave a message. Save the U.S. Dept of Education to save our students, our schools, and our country’s future.
Text reads: Call your reps now. Save the Dept of Ed. Hands off our students. Hands off our schools. Hands off our futures. The Capitol switchboard number is listed on the image and can be found in the body of this post.

Facts are Facts. The U.S. Dept of Ed does not and legally cannot “control schools.” States already do that. Shutting the U.S. Dept of Ed means ripping $$$ from your local schools. Lowering opportunity for students. Oh, and maybe raising your local taxes. Fight myths with facts.

While the Trump Administration rescinded guidance on immigration actions in schools (1/20/25), it does not change the law. Facts are facts. Students, regardless of immigration and housing status, have constitutional rights and legal protections. This post is does not contain legal advice.
