WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

背景重要性

Early in July, the Trump administration said it would not release funding previously appropriated by Congress for schools and that an initial review found signs the money was misused to subsidize what it alleged was "a radical leftwing agenda."

七月初， 特朗普政府宣称不会发放国会此前为学校拨付的资金，初步审查发现资金涉嫌被滥用于资助所谓“激进左翼议程”。

States say $6.8 billion in total was affected by the freeze. Last week, $1.3 billion was released.

各州表示冻结资金总额达68亿美元， 上周已解冻13亿美元。

CONTEXT

事件脉络

After the freeze, a coalition of mostly Democratic-led states sued to challenge the move, and 10 Republican U.S. senators wrote to the Republican Trump administration to reverse its decision.

资金冻结后，主要由民主党领导的州联盟提起诉讼质疑该决定，10名共和党参议员亦致信共和党籍的特朗普政府要求撤回决定。

The frozen money covered funding for education of migrant farm workers and their children; recruitment and training of teachers; English proficiency learning; academic enrichment and after-school and summer programs. The Trump administration has threatened schools and colleges with withholding federal funds over issues like climate initiatives, transgender policies, pro-Palestinian protests against U.S. ally Israel's war in Gaza and diversity, equity and inclusion practices.

被冻结资金涵盖移民农场工及其子女教育、教师招聘培训、 英语能力学习、学术提升及课外夏令营项目。 特朗普政府曾以气候倡议、跨性别政策、亲巴勒斯坦抗议及多元化平等包容措施为由，威胁停发大中小学联邦资金。

REACTION

各方反应

Republican U.S. lawmakers welcomed the move on Friday, while Democratic lawmakers said there was no need to disrupt funding in the first place.

共和党议员 周五对此举表示欢迎，民主党议员则指出资金本不该遭冻结。

Education Secretary Linda McMahon separately said she was satisfied with what was found in the review and released the money, adding she did not think there would be future freezes.

教育部长琳达·麦克马洪同时表示对审查结果满意，故批准放行资金， 并称“预计未来不会再次冻结资金”。
