The National Education Association president called President Trump's plan to eliminate the Department of Education 'unlawful' despite a Supreme Court ruling allowing the cuts.
The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration on Monday to move forward with major cuts to the Department of Education.
The Trump administration had appealed a decision that had directed it to stop gutting the U.S. Education Department and to reinstate many of the workers the government had laid off.
The Education Department can move forward with layoffs of around 1,300 employees it previously notified it would cut after the Supreme Court on Monday struck down a court order blocking those reductions from moving forward.
