Teachers' unions, civil rights groups, and school districts have filed lawsuits against the Trump administration to block its attempt to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education.
The lawsuits argue that Trump's executive order is unlawful and would cause significant harm to students, educators, and borrowers. The NAACP and other advocacy groups warn that eliminating the department would disrupt federal education funding and oversight. A judge has already ruled against a related effort to seize personal data from government agencies.
The legal battle is shaping up to be a major fight over the future of federal education policy.
