Later that day, she tweeted her apprehensions regarding potential threats to the public education system by prominent figures: “This is what I’ve been talking about. @elonmusk and @POTUS are looking to destroy the public education system and remove access from millions of students.”
In another tweet on the same day, Strickland criticized cuts to the Department of Education and their perceived impact: “You’re missing a ‘t’ btw. They just cut the Department of Education, and clearly @elonmusk is already impacted. Laughing while him and @POTUS harm millions of children – disgusting.”
