Pittsburgh, PA – July 15, 2025 – Senator Lindsey M. Williams, a democratic chairman of the Educational Senate, issues a statement after this statement Yesterday’s decision of the Supreme Court allowing Trump’s administration to resume the dismant of the Education Department:
“Yesterday’s decision of the Supreme Court is a blow to the face for students, families, teachers and taxpayers throughout America.
As judge Sotomayor said in her opposition: “[This decision] He rushes the management of the right to repeal the laws, shooting all those necessary to perform them. The majority are either deliberately blind to the consequences of his ruling or naive, but anyway, the threat to the distribution of power by our constitution is serious. “
President Trump and his professional education secretary, Linda McMahon, explained that they are ready to ignore the law and close the enforcement of civil rights of students, leave local school districts, which rely on federal funds in Lurch, and upload a system of making student repayments in chaos.
The court decision approaches at the same time that Trump’s administration froze almost $ 7 billion in federal funds focused on school and summer programs, classes of reading and writing adults and teacher training. The weights of the subsidy for the centers of the 21st century community will affect working families that rely on these programs, such as those in West View Hub and clubs of boys and girls, so that their children are involved, secure and learn throughout the year. I am grateful that the governor of Shapiro joined the lawsuit in order to freeze this fund again, but the payments should not go to court constantly to make sure that the funds approved by the Congress, in accordance with the requirements of the law.
Chaos is not good management. This is not performance. Ensuring that all students have access to education, which prepares them for college, career and life, brings us all. As a member of both the State Board of Education and the Pheaa Council, I know that students and families want well -scored public schools and inexpensive higher education.
As a chairman of the minority of the Senate of the Educational Committee, I seriously approach the role of supervision. I will continue to call billionaires and corporations, whose goal is to earn money from the backrest of our children while destroying public education. I will continue to fight so that every Pennsylvania student-from pre-k to college-has access to integration public education, which prepares them for the future. “
