Georgia Association of Educators President Lisa Morgan said educators are “extremely concerned” about the next school year, as President Donald Trump’s administration fulfilled its promise to gut the U.S. Department of Education this week and axed nearly 50% of its workforce. Thousands were laid off and many took voluntary buyouts, with those impacted to be placed on leave effective March 21. Morgan is hearing some panic first-hand from teachers and education leaders across the state.

Georgia’s NAACP chapter president Gerald Griggs says that President Donald Trump’s controversial executive order ending “illegal DEI” and attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion in the federal workplace are already rolling the country back to the 1850s. But Griggs tells WABE’s “Morning Edition” it doesn’t hurt the NAACP’s case to keep fighting.
