Trump has broken that department. He's broken FSA, he's broken the Department of Education. And if something goes wrong, I desperately hope it doesn't happen. But if something goes wrong this fall with young people going back to college…
The goal is not to reopen schools, the goal is to keep schools open. Do it slowly, gradually, thoughtfully, carefully.
You can lie to parents about a lot of things, but if you start taking away opportunities from their children, you better watch out.
You can never say what Trump won't do. I hope he's telling the truth, that they won't touch those funds, but you honestly never know with him.
