See below for a statement from Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, as well as statements from Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA08) and Fairfax School Board members Ryan McElveen and Kyle McDaniel, on “the Trump Administration’s plans to pull federal funding from the Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William County Public School Districts” over their policies towards transgender students. As Senators Warner and Kaine say, the Trump administration ” destroyed the federal Department of Education and forced out an exceptional president at the University of Virginia” – and “Now it wants to punish high-performing, award-winning schools districts in Northern Virginia.”
WARNER & KAINE SLAM TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FOR RIPPING FEDERAL FUNDING AWAY FROM FIVE NORTHERN VIRGINIA SCHOOL DISTRICTS
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senators Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine, a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, (both D-VA) released the following statement regarding the Trump Administration’s plans to pull federal funding from the Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William County Public School Districts:
“The Trump Administration destroyed the federal Department of Education and forced out an exceptional president at the University of Virginia. Now it wants to punish high-performing, award-winning schools districts in Northern Virginia. You can’t have a strong economy without strong schools, so add this to the list of President Trump’s disastrous economic policies, alongside his sweeping tariffs and rolling back of investment incentives that were creating tens of thousands of jobs in Virginia.”
