Teachers union, NAACP sue Trump over order to dismantle Education Department

Advocacy and labor groups on Monday filed a lawsuit to stop President Trump’s executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, saying the move is unconstitutional and will hurt students.

The National Education Association; the NAACP; the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Maryland Council 3; and a group of public school parents are asking a federal judge to “immediately halt” the administration’s attempt to shutter the department, they said in a statement.
