Great Gazoo! What's Going On?

Yabba Dabba Doo! Fred Flinstone here reporting live from my rockin' recliner! You won't believe what happened – it's enough to make a grown caveman cry… or at least yell at the TV! Seems like that Trump fella wanted to chop the Education Department down to size. I'm talking about lettin' go of over 1,300 folks! Can you believe it? That's more people than I see at the Water Buffalo Lodge on poker night!

Bedrock Bedlam: States Fight Back!

Well them smart folks in the government didn't take kindly to that! Twenty one states like Michigan Nevada and New York they all ganged up and sued! They said 'Hold on Trumpy! You can't just go around firing folks willy nilly!'. It's like when I tried to fire Dino and ended up with a bigger mess than before! Remember a good worker is hard to find.

Executive Order?! Oh My Granite!

And get this! Turns out Trump even signed some fancy pants 'executive order' to tear down the whole Education Department! That's when things really went south faster than Dino chasing a roast brontosaurus rib! More folks got their rocks off their shoulders and jumped into the legal brawl including them teacher folks.

Judge Judy – Caveman Style!

But then BAM! Like a dinosaur bone hitting ya square in the head a judge in Boston stepped in! This Judge Myong Joun he said 'Hold your horses! You can't just shut down offices that help kids learn and protect 'em from getting a raw deal!' He even pointed out they were closin' down offices that stop kids from getting picked on 'cause of how they look or if they got a disability. It's like kickin' a guy when he's down and that ain't right see?.

Saving the FAFSA: No More Dino Sized Debt!

And get this: They almost got rid of the whole team that helps families fill out that FAFSA thingy! That's the form that helps millions of families get money for college! Can you imagine?! Paying for college is already harder than teaching Dino to play fetch! We don't need making it harder than it already is.

Yabba Dabba Doo... For Now!

So the judge put a stop to the layoffs for now. This is good news for all the Pebbles and Bams out there trying to get an education! But don't go celebrating with a bronto burger just yet! That lady from the Education Department Madi Biedermann says they're gonna fight back. Sounds like this ain't over till the fat dino sings! Stay tuned folks because this story is still developin' or as they say in Bedrock 'still being chipped out of stone!'
