The Trump administration has put forth a plan that, if approved, would take away money from youth education programs and schools attended by the children of US service members — and instead use it to fund the president’s southern border wall.

Pentagon officials on Monday offered to slice up some of the military’s $1.2 billion in educational funds — sending a list to Congress of proposed projects that could be cut.

The Department of Defense suggested redirecting about $800 million, according to Reuters.

The money reportedly was set aside for projects related to military education facilities, some of which aren’t scheduled until far in the future. Officials have proposed using the funds to build sections of the border wall and replacing them later.

The military has previously said it would not make financial cuts to service member housing and would instead look to elementary and middle school funding for support.

Officials have offered to use $13 million — which was being saved for the construction of a “Child Development Center” and new buildings at West Point — on the border wall.

The Pentagon, however, stressed to Congress that just because a project was listed this week in its report “does not mean that the project will, in fact, be used.”

President Trump asked for over $8.5 billion in his 2020 budget request earlier this month to help pay for his highly touted border wall after being denied funding by Democrats in February. He declared a national emergency along the border later that month.
