Last week, the House Education and Labor Committee voted to add a new subcommittee on civil rights and human services. The formation of the new subcommittee is in response to the Trump Administration’s controversial decisions regarding civil rights in education and the alarm they have precipitated.

The new panel will be chaired by Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-Ore.) and the leading Republican on the subcommittee is Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.).
