If passed, the bill would see $ 200bn in funding and the work of the education department redistributed to other federal agencies and states.

The bill would require a supermajority of 60 votes in the soon-to-be Republican -controlled Senate to get passed.

It has long been a key objective of the Republican party to abolish the Department of Education since it was launched in 1980 .

“Across the board, what we’re seeing is already people in the Trump administration and some Republicans really trying to walk back some basic civil rights victories that happened in the 60s and 70s to support students with disabilities, low-income families, English learners,” DeMatthews said. “I think if the public understood it and knew about it, they wouldn’t be for taking away supports to help some of the most marginalized children in our country.”.
