Homelessness shouldn’t get in the way of a child’s education. The Trump administration reportedly just fired the staff running the Educating Homeless Children and Youth program and others. School will become harder to reach:

Trump Gutted IES. Skepticism of Its Renewal Abounds.

Nixon ordered the Attny General to fire the special prosecutor on probe of the Watergate Scandal. The Attny General and a deputy refused, with both resigning immediately. This contributed to public outrage and Nixon's impeachment
