In the speech, Jack Blanchard argues, the governor positioned himself as “the leader of the opposition.”

Here's what you need to know about the Department of Education (ED).
ED oversees all programs for students with disabilities and special needs. With over 7.5 million students receiving special ed services, the dismantling of ED would have disastrous consequences for that specific population.
