Durbin Sounds Alarm On The Trump Admin Upending Head Start & Continuing Attacks On Special Education

Published | Video Starts at 02:42

The Department of Education was created in the 1960s, and I think for the same purpose, to make sure the school districts of America fought fair when it came to giving kids a chance. And now This administration, the Trump administration, wants to dismantle that effort and frankly, doesn't give much of a damn about special ed and racial disparities and their impact on education. Ms. Williams, start us off first. You are not wrong. It seems to me that when you support public education, your policies support public education, your funding supports public education. (02:42–02:54)
