Reps. Collins, Greene, McCormick moving Project 2025 agenda closer to reality

President Trump’s Congressional allies are already working to turn Trump’s extreme Project 2025 into law. On Friday, three Republicans from Georgia’s congressional delegation co-sponsored H.R. 899, to “Terminate the Department of Education.” The bill’s title is nearly identical to page 319 of Project 2025’s “Mandate for Leadership”, which reads, “federal education policy should be limited and, ultimately, the federal Department of Education should be eliminated.” 

“Trump repeatedly said he knew ‘nothing about Project 2025’ because of how unpopular the extremist policy wishlist really is, and yet his congressional enablers are rushing to codify it into law,” said DPG spokesman Dave Hoffman. “Any Georgian trying to pay for college, or who has a child with an IEP, is going to find obtaining the education they need a whole lot harder if this crusade to destroy public education becomes law.”

Public education advocates fear this could precede a massive effort to repeal most or all federal law relating to education policy, threatening to zero out federal funding for early childhood, K-12, vocational, and higher education, as well as a myriad of other educational policies including protecting students’ civil rights or educating students with disabilities.
