Democrat Ags Sue Trump for $ 6.8 billion on kindergarten expenses in the 12th year

More than 20 Democratic prosecutors announced on Monday that they were continuing the Asset The abrupt decision administration to retain approximately $ 6.8 billion in spending for kindergarten programs in the 12th year, describing frost as unconstitutional and “debilitating” in states a few weeks before a new school year.

The trial, announced by California Attorney General Rob Bonta comes only a few weeks after the Ministry of Education announced on June 30 that it would take a subsidy distribution break approved by the federal government, which had been approved by the Congress and should be distributed a day later, on July 1.

“The ministry remains determined to ensure that taxpayers’ resources are spent in accordance with the priorities of the president and the statutory responsibilities of the ministry,” the ministry said in a statement, then putting questions at the management and budget office.

The ministry did not immediately give reason to the break.

Addressing journalists during a call on Monday, the prosecutors General Democrats of California, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Colorado underlined the myriad in ways whose education frost injected chaos and uncertainty in public schools nationally – by keeping the budgetary decisions important for public school educators, at a time when they were to be focused on The kissing of staff and to prepare for the year.

Bonta argued that the frost has already been a “devastating blow” for state learning programs, including certain migrant education centers and tutoring and literacy programs for adults.

“It is unacceptable, illegal and cannot be uncontrolled, and that is not the case,” he said.

They noted that certain state -of -scale education programs have already been forced to close their doors completely due to the loss of funds, and education officials have cited the uncertainty facing public schools in the longer term.

“Refleted and strategic budgets, endowment plans and contracts for the next school year are at stake”, while public schools take place to adjust their budgets, said Bonta.

The group argued that it is the last of a series of unconstitutional efforts of the Trump administration to retain the federal funds approved by the congress and, in their opinion, apart from the scope of the administration.

Federal funding includes some $ 2 billion in grants to finance teacher development and education programs; Millions of dollars in tutoring programs; $ 1 billion for academic enrichment subsidies for STEM and accelerated learning programs; And hundreds of millions of dollars to finance adult literacy programs nationally.

Other programs, such as the 21st century community learning center, make money to states to finance around 10,000 programs after school and summer school programs for students in the country.

The heads of state argued on Monday that the freezing ordered by the Department of Education was illegal, risking prejudice near and long -term to students and educators.

“President Trump and the secretary of the Ministry of Education Linda McMahon, brought a debilitating blow to our schools, throwing them into chaos a few weeks before the first day of the school,” said Bonta.

More broadly, the attorneys general also argue that the freezing of Trump spending violates the constitution and the law on the control of the impoundment, because it froze the financing of kindergarten in the 12th year without reason, and without prior notice or previous stages required under ICA.

This trial comes as the States led by Democrats have deposited a wave of others aimed at blundering the executive orders and Trump’s actions during the first six months of his second term.

To date, the Democratic prosecutors have filed 31 prosecution against the Trump administration during the 25 weeks since he took office, as Bonta said on Monday. Eight proceedings were focused on reductions in education programs.

On Monday, the prosecutor general of Rhode Island, Peter Neronha, compared brutal frost on the financing of public education to a popular cartoon for children.

“It is impossible for states to effectively budget an upcoming school year thanks to their education departments and through our education departments to our local communities, when the president keeps us away from football like Lucy in a cartoon by Charlie Brown,” said Neronha.
