Trump administration cuts funding to Oregon disability programs

https://share.newsbreak.com/eymjaaa8

"Organizations across Oregon received notice from the U.S. Department of Education that they’d lose hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The U.S. Department of Education is ending grants to programs across Oregon that support students with disabilities, citing practices related to diversity, equity and inclusion.

The cuts could make it harder for disabled students and their families to access help, especially in some of Oregon’s poorest rural communities.

The Trump administration cut funds for a statewide program that supports deaf and blind students in districts from Portland to Southern Oregon."

More cuts and details in the article at the link.

Cuts aid for deaf and blind students and for students with disabilities because of DEI. Trump was convicted of 34 felonies and is free. And he is worshipped by them.

I rale against that miserable excuse for a human being and his heartless, incompetent administrative every single day.

You're not supposed to hate anyone, but I swear DJT makes it impossible for me not to hate him. I know he did not do this himself, but he appointed the people who did and that makes him just as responsible as they are.

Imagine. Cutting funds for the children who need it the most and for what? To give more tax cuts to the rich or is it just to be cruel? Pro-life, my ass.

This is despicable.

Edited to add: At first reading, I missed the part that said it was because of DEI. That makes it even worse. What a stupid reason. Assholes. Every last one of them.
