Rep. Takano (D-CA) and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Democrats visit the Department of Education amid reports that the Trump administration intends to dismantle the department without consulting Congress. They are denied access.

Edit: They updated the body to have one now, I originally had to type it out myself from a hover. They have a different headline on the frontpage as well:

Acting Education Secretary Denise Carter was accused by House Oversight Democrats of locking the front doors to the Department of Education and refusing members of Congress public access. Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA) and members of the House Oversight Committee held a press conference where they demanded a meeting with the acting secretary to discuss the Trump administration’s desire to dissolve the department. The members said they wanted to ask the acting secretary in person if she would “comply with an illegal executive order (by President Trump) to shut down the department.” Democrats led a call to action urging Americans to get involved and prevent the funds already allocated to the department by Congress from being diverted to other sectors of the federal government, noting public schools and children with special needs were most at risk

    This meme is exactly how I can tell that you’re distracting yourself from the real issue. Here is how you can help.

    At work:

    • Did you hear that they took over the entire education department and took access of everyone’s education records?
    • Did you hear that they wouldn’t even let democrats in to oversee them taking all of the education records of every student?

    At home:

    • Honey, did you know that the republicans took access to every education file and student file? Isn’t that crazy? Did anyone talk about that?
