The Trump administration is facing backlash for its attempt to cut hundreds of millions of dollars for teacher training programs. A federal judge in Boston has temporarily blocked the cuts, citing their impact on addressing a nationwide teacher shortage. The administration’s appeals have been turned down, leading them to ask the Supreme Court to step in.
The administration argues that the judge’s orders are forcing them to continue paying out grant money in various programs. This comes at a time when the administration is overhauling the Education Department and cutting contracts they deemed “woke” and wasteful. The administration believes that without appeals, there is no end in sight for court-mandated fiscal oversight.
The Supreme Court has yet to rule on this appeal, along with several others related to the administration’s actions. The states leading the lawsuit argue that the programs in question have resulted in increased teacher retention rates and improving educator effectiveness. The administration halted the programs without notice, leading to the legal battle currently ongoing.
