Republican Senator Katie Brett He asks for financing rented school programs, which are collected in the budget proposal for $ 50 million to $ 600 million. She asks how these funds will be used to expand options, especially in rural and low -service communities so that parents have a “more option” for their children.
“No child in a failed school,” says McMahon, prompting Trump to increase the financing of rented schools. She says that “freedom of choice” gets with rented schools is important.
For context, as a colleague Marina Dunbar books Last month: “The rented schools are created as alternatives to traditional public schools. They usually work under private management and are often characterized by sizes of small classes, innovative educational methods or a specific academic focus.”
Last month, the Supreme Court I prevented an attempt Under the leadership of the Catholic dioceses to establish in Oklahoma The first taxpayer in the country Religious Charter School In a major case, it involves religious rights in American education, which challenged the constitutional separation of the church and the state.
Marina He writes“The opponents have said that religious rented schools will force taxpayers to support religious indoctrination. Their establishment can undermine the principles of non -discrimination, because religious rented schools may seek to prevent employees who do not adhere to doctrinal teachings.”
Democratic Senator Durbin Duke McMahon encourages the reason they cut off the borrower’s defense branch in the education department, which supports students who left “exploiters” and struggles to pay debts after attending schools aimed at profit.
After stumbling around what the administration is doing to address the problem, McMahon refers to school advisors who can provide support to these students, before Durbin cuts it off to indicate that, as we just heard, the administration reduces funding for these advisers as well.
Republican Senator, Shelli Moore Capito, He asks how they are planning to ensure that Jewish students are able to learn in an environment free of intimidation in universities on the campus given the budget suggests reducing the Civil Rights Office.
The Minister of Education, Linda McMahon, says that the measures taken at the University of Colombia, and Harvard also explains that the administration “will not tolerate anti -Semitism in universities or discrimination of any kind.” These measures include moves to prevent camps and wear the mask (a reference to the pro -Palestine protests last year).
“We are actively implemented and we have reduced us [programs at Columbia and Harvard,” McMahon says. “We’re saying we mean business.”
Democratic senator Tammy Baldwin asks McMahon if she does not believe that “increasing students’ access to mental health support is not in the best interests of the federal government”.
McMahon says they’re not looking to eliminate the funding, but plan to allow the states to rebid on a competitive grant basis.
Democratic senator presses McMahon on whether administration plans to spend Congress-appropriated funds
Baldwin says that during her confirmation hearing McMahon had said funds appropriated by Congress “should be disseminated”.
“Now we have a budget request that significantly cuts funding for public schools, students and educators,” Baldwin says, adding that $8bn remains “unallocated”.
“Are you going to allocate all of the funding that Congress appropriated for students and schools … across the country this year?” she asks McMahon.
She interrupts as McMahon begins to answer to say that the question isn’t “nuanced”. “Congress passed a law appropriating this funding, you said in your confirmation hearing that you would spend funding Congress appropriated.
“If the answer isn’t simply ‘yes’, based on all the evidence before us that leads me to believe that you are planning to withhold funding and shortchange students and families across America.”
McMahon says the budget will take a significant step towards the goal of shrinking federal bureaucracy, cutting waste and giving education back to the states.
Democratic senator tells McMahon ‘students will pay price’ for plan to dismantle education department
Baldwin says she is “deeply concerned” the administration is planning to “illegally impound [congressionally appropriated] Money and dismantling the Ministry of Education, “adding:” It will be the students who pay the price. “
But if the executive authority is allowed to do so and ignore the laws that we [Congress] “Pass, I’m not sure of what we are doing here,” Baldwin says.
In this fiscal year, $ 13 billion is still “not approved” in the Baldwin, describing it as “unprecedented and unacceptable.”
“The lack of transparency in addition to the budget request raises dangerous questions about what you are trying to hide and why?” Baldwin says.
“It seems that this administration is focused, above all, on the dismantling of the Ministry of Education to record political points, regardless of influencing tens of millions of public school students,” she continues.

In the last cases that Trump allowed his ban on the members of the transgender service, ending the temporary deportation protection of Venezuelan, members of the Fire Council in independent agencies and reduced millions in granting education.
However, Barrett is one of the most important judges who must be seen because of She, sometimes, is separated from the most solid preservation that she adopted [Clarence] Thomas and [Samuel] Alto. A year ago, when the Supreme Court heard arguments about whether Trump would give the comprehensive immunity of the criminal prosecution, it was Barrett that was at the center of some of the most persuasive exchanges with Trump’s lawyer. Barrett was one of the many judges who urged Trump’s lawyer to agree that the president’s “special” procedures would not be fortified.
But when the court’s decision fell in July, Barrett eventually stood with the courts of the court to grant immunity to Trump.
