NASA's Education Program in Latest US Budget Proposal

The Verge lists current budget cuts to NASA in a new article.  The following paragraph is giving me a heartburn:

"[NASA's education program] is the area that’s hit hardest by Trump’s budget request. In fact, NASA education, which received $115 million for fiscal year 2016, would be completely eliminated for fiscal year 2018."

Read the details at Verge.
