Don't cut funds from education and hinder our ability to prepare the next generation for success in college and the workforce.
Why is this important?
Sequestration cuts would chop funding for programs in the Department of Education by $2.5 billion. In addition, Head Start -- a federal program that promotes the school readiness of children ages birth to five from low-income families -- would be cut by $398 million. This would be the largest cut EVER to education programs.
As President Obama said about these cuts: "If you think education's expensive, wait 'til you see how much ignorance costs."
