offer families more options for their children's education while providing taxpayers accountability and transparency they deserve. we are one of the few states with the best children regardless of where they live. support students education outside of the classroom we are a leader in education freedom. i recognize school choice especially for students with unique developmental conditions. i recommend 50 million to expand education options for idaho families. [applause] just like we do with every taxpayer dollars spent in government, we will ensure oversight in school choice. why? accountability government is of value in what taxpayers demand and deserve. as we expect the following from our public schools, any thing i would consider must be done this way. it is fair, responsible, transparent and accountable we must prioritize the families that need it most and must not take away from public school and will do so continuing to prioritize public schools. it is both our constitutional and moral obligation and will not abandon that obligation. we have increased teacher pay, health benefits, increase funding and address long-standing facilities and sch

children. and we, as educators, we as support personnel, we have to work side-by-side with parents and faith leaders and communities because we cannot let them pull the rug out of our children's future. and essentially, what is now coming down the pike in this era of efficiency, it is not efficiency. it is evisceration. it is an attempt to take the fun ding and the take the rights away from each and every child. so, as becky said, it's good that we have each other's back. but more important than she and i having each other's back, we had a job to do other than in our classrooms, which is each and every day between now and whenever that budget gets passed, we have to fight for all of our children. we have to fight for all of god's children so that they have the future that they need! and, just like every teacher when a child is tired or sick, we give kids foods, we give kids a jacket, when we say, let's actually do a jig on a day like today -- we have to stand in as those kids' support to make sure that this administration doesn't pull the rug out from under them. are you ready? are you ready to figh

second, i dea, the disabilities education act, which helps children with special needs. maine receives more than $65 million to support k-12 students with special education needs. i would note that that falls far short of the 40% that was promised when the legislation was passed in the 1970's. trio programs, which we discussed, have changed the lives of countless first-generation students who are going to college and come from families with no experience with higher education. i have seen so many success stories as a result of trio. so my question for you is how do we maintain the administration and oversight of these programs if we abolish or substantially reorganize the department of education? >> thank you, senator collins. i know how passionate you are about these issues and i enjoyed meeting with you in your office and talking about these various things, especially the trio program, which we both agreed was -- it just hit a terrible blow just by regulation with some of the students who were applying. their applications were rejected simple because of spacing on a for

educational progress and collects statisticsen enrollment, staffing and crime in school. the individuals with disabilities acts makes free and appropriate public education available to eligible children with disabilities. in the 2022 and 2023 school years, 7.5 million students receive special education or related services through idea, through 15% of all public students. shutting down the department of education would profoundly impact title one schools. it's telling that none of the witnesses on this panel could say affirmatively yes that the department should be shut down because you know that the answer is no. the department administers 18.4 billion in title one program funding to low income k-12 schools. also, as i mentioned, the department runs 1.6 trillion in students loan programs, one of its largest mission. mr. cooper in your opening you talked a lot about the cost of college and i think the conversation we should have, how do we lower the cost of education, not discourage it. while many of you have a very short memory, i chose to go to college because my grandmother could not. there were laws prohibiting it. so while you throw around and weaponize words like diversity, equi

. >> idea guarantees children with disabilities a free appropriate education. what are they supposed to be under i dea? ms. mcmahon: dollar amounts? i'm not sure. >> the federal government committed to pay 40% of the average per pupil expenditure for special education. you know what the government actually does? ms. mcmahon: around 14% to 18%. it is an appropriated amount from congress. congress needs to appropriate the dollars to spend. sen. hassan: republicans in congress are proposing massive tax cuts for billionaires trying to pay for by massive cuts to education and other services. so you know, new hampshire would lose $60 million in idea funding if idea were illuminated. my time is almost up. the reason that the department of education came about in 1975, idea was passed in 1975. 1979 -- strattera just -- mr. chair, just a second. people need to understand that my son, before idea, before the department of education existed, state and local schools did not educate these kids. they barred them from the classroom. they were institutionalized and abused. the

children. they are our most precious resource. it is our duty to invest in their future. the big sky scholarship program provides lower and middle income montana families with scholarships to access educationpportunities that best meet the needs of the children. i have heard from parents and kids about how much this program means to them. that is why our budget increased funding for this popular program to 6 million dollars, giving more montanans the chance to pursue an education that works for them, regardless of their financial circumstances. [applause] we are also expanding educational opportunities through the digital academy, with increased funding for stem and career and technical education. these initiatives will prepare our students for the jobs of tomorrow right here in montana. we also have an obligation to all students and families to ensure our schools prepare them for the future. but a bloated bureaucracy is not the solution. that does not serve our students and families well. our focus must remain targeted on the classroom, where the teachers teach and the students learn. as a son and father of teachers, i'm well aware that teaching is one of the most noble professions. for t

so they wanted to somehow impose the scientific education with what happened in the process was that many of the children cannot relate to that. before that the education was ready to relate to them to put something concern with their own set on things which they could feel which stick would sense mistake would smell of because relate to it, of course, but it really shows the easy going life the by the also providing jobs and also by giving them the easy way of address bracket. the says i'm the lifestyle. so all school is on colleges, on the education programs on the new change, including the schools, indians, well, painting on the floors on their homes. the declaration you see that created was really beautiful effects. those which were exported. beautiful soft materials interest to the point of costs. and all of that changed during the colonial rule is a lot of traffic stopped. draft that people didn't know existed before. technics had stopped because industrialization, machinery and things that have replaced the the, the traditional form. so all of these things to made to be able to slowly come in from

education. we are here to say no. the majority of children in this country go to public schools. public schools are every student. they open their doors to students with disabilities. what they are doing by defunding the death of education, that means fewer resources. our local school boards don't have the extra funding to fill those gaps. that is what federal funding is about, it's about equity for opportunity. and dollars so educators can learn the best new ways to teach. about well rounded education, technology and school safety. those are all federal grants that go to our public schools and that is what is at stake. and we are here to say no, the title 1 dollars with school districts, those make a big difference. our local jurisdictions don't have the extra resources to fill in the gap. what they are trying to do by taking the funding away and close the department of education is creating fewer opportunities for students across the country. we say no. and same with privatization. a fraction of students go to private schools and they are affording private schools and it takes money away from public education. i represent portland, oregon and i repr

it is important to allow the department of education to continue to do his work to be there for children with disabilities. that is the heart, soul and spirit of america. i can't understand how republicans will not abolish the department of education should. it's baffling, baffling to the american people and we will continue to defend our folks. >> it's good you can establish an agreement. is it a nonnegotiable, would you vote for a bill that did not have some assurance? here is what we have done relative to the unlawful acts as highly personal confidential summation of the american people. we introduced experience.addresses, bank accounts, information, birthdates and social security numbers of the american people are protected, not handed over to an unelected unaccountable billionaire. and startling invasion. vote which is why introduced, we will be very clear as it relates to spending agreement connection of the divine and the fiscal responsibility act.

children's health who regularly have to combat misinformation. combating vaccine skepticism with correct information. correct information that comes from their indication -- education, their training and experience as pediatricians, they are aware of the falling vaccine rates and the hospitalizations and deaths from children from vaccine-preventible diseases. children are contracting diseases that they would not have contracted if the child was vaccinated. others are looking at the need to address chemicals in our food and that we are victims of the forces maximizing profits while sacrificing our health. there is evidence for that. although food safety is principally a food and drug administration. others fear an environmental risk. mr. kennedy's history of of environmental activism motivates their support. i pointed out that the environmental protection agency monitors this, not the department of health and human services, but they still feel he can make a difference. so as i looked how to resolve this i returned to where i began, would it be possible to have mr. kennedy collaborate in helping public health agencies reearn the trust of the american people? how, re

education is showing it's been a bad system. we had school choice and some of the states and it showed that the children do much better with this. all we hear about is the teachers, of the union but we don't talk about our children and education. i -- i had a much better curriculum than what is being taught today. so when you get to these different areas, money is thrown at certain sections but the basics of teaching our children is no longer there. and i believe that is the biggest concerned. host: matt barnum. guest: i think you've sort of spoken to the heart of the question, is that apartment of education helping or not helping schools. certainly advocates for the department say what it does is important and the money it spends is important and critics say it has not been helpful and has not made a difference. host: you said president trump would target certain functions of the education department through executive orders paid which ones? >> i don't think we know yet. i think the ones that he could more easily target are some of the smaller ones that are not written into statute. those are not the ones that are going to real

educate low income but also students with special needs. they're going after, again, the different programs that help children living with autism. children, again, having learning disabilities, needing that special care. i know that it's the public education system that takes them in and takes care of them and ensures that they have access to quality education. we also know that states across the country want to whitewash black history. they're already going after it, as if black history is not american history. we also know they want to erase the existence of lgbtqi-plus students and discriminate against our children. i know without the department of education, no one will be left to ensure civil rights laws are enforced in our schools. we know that community college students in my district alone, i know, will particularly suffer because 50% of henry ford college in my district receives pell grants. that is administrated through the department of education. i know folks are like, it's never going to happen. it already has started. to my colleagues, if you support abolishing the department of education, then publicly do it. vote

student loan program, providing underfunded schools with money through the title one program, which is meant to improve the quality of education for childrenthe poverty line, and protecting access to a public education for kids with disabilities or with learning differences. if your child is one of the 7.5 million public school students with an individualized education plan iep, you've probably heard about it. maybe it's your kids, maybe it's your grandkids. it's because of the federal department of education guaranteeing that money. another agency that largely works in the background until you need it is the consumer financial protection bureau. as we've discussed, project 2025, i've got right here on my desk. the architect of it, russell vote, has taken control of the cfpb himself. it protects americans from abusive financial practices. it enforces consumer financial law. it was designed so that the president doesn't actually control it. vote has since instructed the cfpb to halt a majority of its operations. operations that protect you from overpaying the bank from paying too much in junk fees. again, donald trump and elon musk's claim

additionally, child labor exploitation was rampant, education for girls lagged far behind and children with disabilities were far too often institutionalized and not educated at all. a little more than 100 years later, our department of education in its modern day form was championed by none other than the late, great president james earl carter. may he rest in peace and power. he knew that fully implementing the civil rights legislation of the 1960's and fighting jim crow would require a well-resourced federal role in education. this agency had existed for over a century in many iterations but carter explicitly understood that at the core of education was a vision of opportunity and access for every child in america. he and congress resource the department accordingly and this department was tasked with implementing the core tenants of the civil rights act and the individuals with disabilities and education act. federal funding through the department of education became integral to addressing disparities. hiring and training teachers to building accessible school facilities and forcing civ

families and their businesses, and now we're economy is leading the nation we our children are doing better with educational outcomes and virtually anywhere in the country incomes are going up faster in our state than anywhere else and people are thriving more than they are in many of these other states. so leadership has consequences and republicans can be a party now that brings hope brings optimism and that really is what the people in this country need to be reminded of this is a very special country and so much. we see in the news is discouraging. i would prefer that we talk a lot about what our founders gave us in the blessings that we have. when you served in congress, if memory serves me correctly you entered with a brand new republican majority, but with a democrat still in the white house, and so i wanted to sort of get your insight on this, you know, republicans could have a very good november this year and beginning next january have majorities of some sort in the house. and in the senate at least the ability to put bills on the floor and and pass at least some of them through the house. what is

seriously the sacred call parenting to raise their children, to educate and nourish their minds, but we outsource parenting and. we allow others with maybe not good motives to indoctrinate children and to have those years and and hours of the day to teach them things they're going to capture the future and build world for our children. so children is where it's and children are important. children is the is the future of the nation. all the potential resides within them. and so drag queens not you know confined to bars and adult venues they're now in your preschool they're now in your public libraries reading to three year olds and that's a that's a very thing i believe that god entrusted children to parents not to public libraries public schools or even to churches and that's because there's something in a parent that knows these little hearts and. minds are tender and we need to give all that we've got to them to do that, to lead them in the way that they should go and just following up on that, you say or even to churches, why did you add or even to churches? well, i think that there an assumption with certain people, particular
