Education Department Under Fire
Description
The U.S. Department of Education is dismantling itself, handing civil rights enforcement to the Justice Department and special education oversight to HHS — a move framed as helping families but sparking alarm among parents and advocates. With staff cuts, backlogs, and fragmented responsibility, families fear more delays and lost justice for kids facing discrimination or needing services. Even lawmakers are pushing back, as some argue HHS isn’t the right home for special education. At the heart of it all: families just want their children to get the help they need — no matter which agency is in charge.
