The Cruel Truth: Trump’s Education Department Just Targeted America’s Most Vulnerable

The Trump administration’s Education Department has begun mass layoffs in key divisions — including those that oversee special education and civil rights enforcement.

Historian Dr. Allan Lichtman and Sam Lichtman break down what these cuts really mean: how they were pushed through under the guise of a government shutdown, and why they represent one of the most shameful attacks on vulnerable Americans in recent history.

The layoffs target teams responsible for enforcing anti-discrimination laws, funding special education, and supporting low-income schools. As Allan explains, this isn’t budget efficiency — it’s political sabotage aimed at dismantling public protections.
