Randi Weingarten Warns Trump’s Plan to End Education Department Could Boost School Vouchers

Randi Weingarten has changed her stance and expressed anger over the planned elimination of the Department of Education, stating, "That is why so many people are so mad about it. Because they’re just taking opportunity away from kids that don’t have it."
She criticized the impacts of the elimination, arguing that the Department of Education is essential for funding underperforming areas, including programs like Title I.
Weingarten acknowledged her previous downplaying of the issue, recalling, "my members don’t really care about whether they have a bureaucracy of the Department of Education or not."
Corey DeAngelis criticized Weingarten's emotional response, suggesting that her anger comes too late as millions of children have suffered under federal educational policies.
