RIO RANCHO — In a passionate display of solidarity, teachers and union members gathered to protest against the recent order to close the Department of Education. Holding signs with slogans like "Don't let Donald Trump steal from our kids. Support the Department of Education," the demonstrators voiced their concerns over the implications of such a closure on the future of education.
The protest highlighted the critical role the Department of Education plays in ensuring equitable access to resources and support for students across the nation. Union leaders emphasized that dismantling this institution would adversely affect not only teachers but also the students who rely on its guidance and funding.
Participants at the rally expressed their fears that closing the department would lead to a decline in educational standards and opportunities, particularly in underserved communities. As the debate continues, the teachers union remains steadfast in its commitment to advocating for the preservation and enhancement of educational resources for all children.
