Washington For the third year in a row, Democrats dinged Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Tuesday for proposing to cut funds from the Special Olympics, after-school programs and support for students from low-income families.
The difference is that this time, Democrats control the House. "The three education budgets from this administration have proposed the largest cuts to education funding in four decades. That's since the department was created in 1979," said Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, who chairs the Appropriations Committee's Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies Subcommittee, at a hearing on DeVos' proposed 2020 budget.
