...eliminate the Department of Education. This would mean that states would have to pay for all of their schools, which could result in less money for schools in poorer areas. [319]
...significantly restrict the free school lunch program. This would mean that many children may not have enough to eat at school. [303]
...eliminate the Head Start program. This would mean that many children from poor families would not have access to preschool. [482]
...make it harder for students to get financial aid for college. This would mean that fewer students from poor families would be able to go to college. [327]
...allow colleges to discriminate against students based on their race and sex. This would mean that some students would be treated unfairly when applying to college. [352]
...use public, taxpayer money for private religious schools. This would blur the line between government and religion, enable discrimination in admissions, hiring and curriculum based on religious beliefs, and reduce funding for and undermine public education. [351]
...prevent the CDC from advising that school children should be masked or vaccinated, saying such decisions should be left to parents and medical providers. This could lead to increased disease outbreaks and a resurgence of preventable diseases like measles and whooping cough. [454]
...phase out federal funding for Title I. This could lead to the loss of more than 180,000 teacher jobs and negatively affect the academic outcomes of 2.8 million vulnerable students across the country [326] [analysis]
