It's infuriating and terrifying. I have 5th graders, kids 10 and 11 years old, asking if ICE can come take them from school. Kids who know the difference between having "papers", a passport, or being born here. ICE will have to go through me to get to any of them.
It's awful to feel so helpless. These are my babies, I've had some of these kiddos since they were in second grade. They deserve an education and I don't care how they got here. But if the Dept of Ed goes away, so does all all funding and protections for kids in Special Education, so they won't have that support and will just be floundering in gen ed, and some would probably drop out of high school in the future.
I think that's *part* of the idea. If education is kicked back fully to the States it'll mean that the poorest ones will take a nosedive in their education budget.... But MAGA does so like uneducated people..... Odd that...!
That's 100% the idea. Don't give these kids services to be successful, so that we can have workers in our meat-packing plants, and other menial jobs, and special education teachers will be reduced to supervisors in said plants and factories. It's fucking disgusting.
