The Democrats are in outright panic mode. They’re stooping to new lows.
Because a group of crazed Democrats have bushwhacked Trump administration officials.
Radical Democrats Try To Force Their Way Into Trump’s Department of Education
A heated scene unfolded on Friday as a group of outraged congressional Democrats attempted to force their way into the Department of Education (ED) building to protest President Donald Trump’s proposed plan to shut down the agency. The protest was a direct response to the Trump administration’s plan to eliminate the Department of Education and shift the responsibility for managing public education to individual states.
The administration, led by President Trump, has begun drafting an executive order to dissolve the ED. If enacted, the order would direct Congress to pass legislation officially dismantling the agency. Proponents of the move argue that it would ensure greater control and flexibility for states in managing education, while critics, including many Democratic lawmakers, have vehemently opposed the proposal, calling it detrimental to the nation’s public education system.
Among those leading the protest was California Rep. Maxine Waters, who voiced her frustration at the security guard stationed outside the ED building as he denied access to the lawmakers. “What are they afraid of? They know that we’re here,” Waters said in disbelief. As tensions mounted, Democratic Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost confronted the security guard, questioning his authority and the reasons behind the denial of entry.
“Were you told, are you making this decision to stand in front of this door on your own behalf? On behalf of the Department of Education, were you to come out here and block members of Congress from complying with us? Were you told to stand here or did you decide to stand here and block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education?” Frost asked.
Despite their protests and the repeated demands for access, the security guard did not relent. As the Democratic lawmakers stood firm, they continued to assert that, as members of Congress, they had every right to enter the building and that their presence was crucial for protecting the interests of American children. They argued that it was imperative for them to fight against any policy that would undermine public education and, by extension, the futures of millions of children across the nation.
Waters, using Fox News cameras to highlight the situation, took aim at the security guard for blocking their access, accusing him of preventing their entry without providing a valid explanation.
“I want you to see this security guard right here who is a federal employee he told us… we pay him, we raise money to make sure that we have a Department of Education, and everybody that’s at the Department of Education is here because we pay for them to be here,” Waters said. “He’s standing here today blocking the door and he can’t give us a good reason why he’s blocking this door.”
Other Democratic lawmakers echoed these sentiments, emphasizing that the protest was not just about politics, but about fighting for the rights of American children, especially those with disabilities or those who have been victims of sexual assault in school. One congresswoman spoke out, urging parents to recognize the gravity of the situation.
“I think it should be clear to parents in the United States, if you want to advocate on behalf of your children, you are not allowed to come into this building where you pay taxes,” she said. “Parents who have children who are disabled, access is being blocked. You voted for members of Congress to advocate on behalf of your children. Children with disabilities, for young women who have been victims of sexual assault in our classrooms on our school grounds, members of OCR are fighting for your children and we’re not allowed in the building to talk to them. We are not allowed to advocate on behalf of America’s children. America, we have a problem.”
The Democrats have been adament in resisting Trump’s plan to downsize the federal government and eliminate what the president and his allies consider wasteful spending. Trump, along with the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Elon Musk, has made it a priority to reduce the size of the government, including eliminating agencies deemed inefficient. The president campaigned on this promise of reducing bureaucracy and waste.
In the lead-up to the protest, Democratic lawmakers had also voiced concerns about other cuts to government programs. Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, for instance, warned that tensions surrounding the administration’s proposals could escalate to violence, stating, “We may actually see someone get k*lled,” while Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts expressed her anger over Musk’s disbandment of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), vowing to set “fire” to the Republican Party.
The issue of public education funding has been a significant point of contention between the two political parties. According to federal data, governments at all levels—federal, state, and local—spend roughly $857.2 billion annually on K-12 public education. Despite this massive investment, students’ test scores and proficiency in core subjects have continued to decline, particularly since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Proponents of greater federal involvement argue that additional resources are needed to address these challenges, while critics contend that current spending is not yielding the desired results.
The federal government contributes about $190 billion to public education funding, but the return on investment in terms of improved student performance has been lackluster. Test scores in subjects like math, reading, and science have stagnated or declined in recent years, leading many to question whether the federal government’s spending is truly making a difference in the lives of students.
