@pbsnews: Trump administration withholds billions in school grants for critical programs Millions of children and working families will soon feel the impact of a funding freeze that will put a halt to key school programs. With very little explanation, the Education Department abruptly blocked the release of nearly $7 billion set to be distributed on July 1. Laura Barrón-López discussed more with Jodi Grant of the Afterschool Alliance. #pbsnews #pbsnewshour #newshour #education #funding #school #trumpadministration #afterschoolprograms #departmentofeducation #grants
In our area it also affected/cut our migrant program and community schools!

The Executive Branch cannot withhold funds appropriated by Congress. This should be an impeachable offense.

I’d rather have after school programs than a trillion dollar military

Afterschool programs make our communities safer. This is an attack on every community in our nation.

Time zones are so weird. In London it's night, in Tokyo it's morning, and in America it's 1939

At what point do we stop paying federal taxes? What are we even paying for besides war? I’d rather have fund schools than bombs.

Yup! I run a federal grant program for an elementary school & all funding has been frozen, our department which helps parents with after school learning care was told we might not have a job after September.

School to prison pipeline is about to grow exponentially. Investment in public education is the key to making our country better and safer. This regime is a regime not a democracy.

Then they will say public education has failed and needs to end. Replace it with privatised, government-backed schools. They control the curriculum and teach the kids their Christian doctrine.

This action can ruin a small rural community. This action rips educational progress back decades. Teachers are leaving in droves because it is so difficult to accomplish anything. When can education get the spotlight it deserves?
