Teachers unions and civil rights groups sue to block Trump administration's effort to dismantle the Department of Education.

Teachers unions and civil rights groups, including the NAACP and NEA, have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to block its effort to dismantle the Department of Education. The lawsuit argues that the administration's actions are illegal, as eliminating or transferring the department’s offices requires congressional approval. The plaintiffs claim the changes could negatively impact students, particularly those from marginalized communities, and disrupt federal education funding and services.
