Sarah Parshall Perry

Sarah Parshall Perry, Vice President and Legal Fellow at Defending Education, discusses the Supreme Court's ruling allowing the Trump administration to downsize the Department of Education. She addresses the implications for state-led schooling and critiques the current focus on financial issues over academic performance.

The conversation also touches on civil rights protections for students and the ongoing legal battles affecting education policy.
