Episode Summary – The A1 Education: Inside the War on the Department of Education
In this pertinent and topical episode, journalist and host Darisse Smith delves into the political storm surrounding the U.S. Department of Education. With sharp historical context and a personal lens, Darisse traces the department’s controversial origin story—from post-Reconstruction roots to Cold War-fueled investment, all the way to the present-day push for its elimination by the Trump administration.
Featuring a compelling interview with Barbara Hoblitzell, who was the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Higher Education within the Office of Legislation and Congressional Affairs at the Department of Education, the episode explores what the Department of Education actually does, including its critical role in civil rights enforcement, student financial aid, and support for special education. Together, they unpack the consequences of the recent 50% staffing cuts, the ideological battles over Title VI and IX, and the growing threat to educational equity across states.
With candid personal reflections on navigating special education as a parent, Darisse also raises an urgent question: What is the plan if the Department of Education disappears? Who Will Be Left Behind?
