Senator Murray Hosts Forum on Trump Decimating Department of Education

Video Description

U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), a senior member and former chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) and Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, hosts a forum on the Trump administration’s reckless dismantling of the Department of Education (ED) and the devastating consequences for students, families, educators, and schools. The forum convenes parents, a former student, administrators, and education experts who are discussing with Senators the fallout across the country as President Trump and Secretary Linda McMahon hollow out the Department of Education, rip away resources for students and schools, abandon the Department’s critical responsibilities, and turn their backs on students and families in the process.
