Granite Staters oppose Trump's Department of Education dismantling

Dozens of people in New Hampshire gathered outside Manchester Central High School on Saturday. They were expressing their worries after President Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education. Senator Debra Altschiller spoke at the event, saying, "Our schools are the heart of our community." She emphasized the importance of schools for bringing people together for events and town meetings. Educators in New Hampshire are also concerned about the executive order. Megan Tuttle, president of the National Education Association of New Hampshire, shared her feelings. She said she was devastated by the news and believes public education is crucial for democracy. Tuttle warned that a lack of funding could seriously harm education in New Hampshire. On Friday, New Hampshire's Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut responded to the situation. He stated that the state's schools are "in a position to move forward" despite the order to dismantle the Department of Education.
