Emotional Education Department 'clap-outs' celebrate departed federal employees
69% Informative
Dozens of Department of Education employees took part in a final "clap-out" in Washington , D.C. , after losing jobs amid agency restructuring.
The administration slashed about 50% of the department's workforce as part of a strategy to abolish the department and send education decisions to the states.
The departing civil servants were given about 30 minutes to retrieve their belongings before exiting the building to clapping colleagues.
"I hate that I can't be a voice or inspiration to the young girls growing up in Southeast D.C. that I wanted to inspire," Richardson says.
"You can make a big impact and a big difference in the country coming from where we from," she says.
The farewell ceremony comes as "clap-outs" are set to continue across the country next week .
