IDEA was created because states were *NOT* providing students with disabilities an education. That is why returning "education to the states" does not work. “State's rights” have historically been used as an excuse to deny Americans rights. See: slavery, segregation, abortion.

FOX NEWS: The Department of Education is tasked with protecting disabled students across America. How are you going defend this? SEN. JIM BANKS: I think it's simple. That will be done at the state level.

House Democrats stand united for a four-week funding extension that stops harmful cuts, keeps government open, and allows Congress to reach a bipartisan funding agreement. I am ready to vote today, tomorrow or Friday to pass a four-week extension.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 12(source)

If there is a lapse in government funding, it will be the responsibility of Republicans who control the White House and both chambers of Congress and it will be a direct result of their refusal to work with Democrats on a bipartisan funding package which would meet the needs of our nation.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 12(source)

Unfortunately, the GOP funding bill we voted on today makes devastating cuts to veterans benefits, health care & affordable housing. Instead of investing in our health & safety, it does nothing to rein in Trump and Musk’s illegal mass firing of civil servants or their dismantling of gov’t services.

I am ready to support a bipartisan appropriations package to fund the government for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2025.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 11(source)

This will force more dedicated civil servants with invaluable institutional knowledge out of the federal government. And they will be replaced with political appointees who answer only to Trump and Musk. These public servants, and the students they serve, deserved better.

Elon Musk has made clear that he wants to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The House Republican partisan funding bill utterly fails to protect these vital benefits. That's why Democrats are united to stop it.

According to the US District Court, Member Wilcox's firing was "blatantly illegal." Member Wilcox is a dedicated public servant, who has spent her entire career defending workers’ rights to form a union. President Trump must reinstate Member Wilcox immediately.
