Judge blocks Trump's plot to wreck US education system--for now
The courts have come to the rescue yet again, with a federal judge on Thursday blocking President Donald Trump’s executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, ordering the agency to reinstate employees after mass layoffs.
U.S. District Judge Myong Joun of Boston, who was appointed by President Joe Biden, issued the preliminary injunction halting two of the Trump administration’s attempts to gut the Education Department. The ruling delivers a major blow to Trump’s push, led by Education Secretary Linda McMahon, to eliminate the agency altogether.
The lawsuit—brought by the Somerville and Easthampton school districts, the American Federation of Teachers, and other education groups—argued that the mass firings left the department unable to perform its most basic duties of supporting special education, distributing financial aid, and enforcing civil rights protections.
And Joun agreed. The plaintiffs, he said, offered “an in-depth look into how the massive reduction in staff has made it effectively impossible for the Department to carry out its statutorily mandated functions.”
