The Trump administration's layoffs of federal employees completely decimated an office within the Department of Education that helps support children with disabilities, NPR reported on Monday, adding to the list of people Trump has needlessly hurt with his cruelty.
According to NPR, every employee in the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, including the Office of Special Education Programs and the Rehabilitative Services Administrationwas axed by the Reduction in Force Trump began implementing. These offices help not only distribute $15 billion that helps educate roughly 7.5 million children with disabilities across the country, but also to conduct oversight to ensure that states are complying with federal law that protects those students.
