Bryan Steil, Derrick Van Orden, & DOGE Move to Shut Down America’s Schools

Bryan Steil and Derrick Van Orden are all in on Elon Musk’s crusade to destroy Wisconsin’s public schools, harming America’s kids. Their latest goal – as laid out in Trump’s Project 2025 – is to dismantle the Department of Education.

Dismantling the Department of Education will:

• Increase the tax burden on local families who will have to make up funding for their neighborhood schools with increased property taxes

• Jeopardize funding for schools threatening to lower test scores, graduation rates, and student outcomes

• Threaten pay and jobs for our teachers at a time when our schools need more resources to make America more competitive again

• Throw children with disabilities out of the classroom

• Endanger kids facing antisemitism and other forms of discrimination in our schools

DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“Wisconsin’s schools matter for our future – and Bryan Steil and Derrick Van Orden refuse to stand up for the communities and kids they represent out of fear of an Elon-backed primary. Will Steil and Van Orden ever put their constituents first or continue to fear their D.C. party bosses?”
