Summary
Donald Trumpās education agenda centers on eliminating āwokenessā and āleft-wing indoctrinationā in schools.
His plans include banning lessons on gender identity and structural racism, abolishing diversity offices, and barring transgender athletes in girlsā sports.
He aims to cut federal funding for schools defying his policies and eliminate the U.S. Education Department. Trump also proposes āpatriotic education,ā a nationwide ban on transgender athletes in womenās sports, and new teacher credentialing standards.
Critics argue these policies are politically driven, undermine education, and lack evidence. Many initiatives would face legal and procedural hurdles.
Also, those public schools have to take your kids.
Charter or Private Schools? Nope. If your kid is a dumbass or dicks around too much and gets shitty grades sorry, homey. We donāt want your kid. Oh, thereās no other schools? Tough titty.
The flip side of this is charter schools arenāt required to take special needs kids, either. Oh, your kid has Down Syndrome or is Autistic and needs additional staff or effort? Sorry, theyāre not welcome here. They have to go to the public school. The public school doesnāt have enough funding to afford Special Ed teachers because itās all been vouchered away to charter schools? Tough titty.
Public schools work because the money pays for things like Special Education and Gifted and Talented programs. Charter schools canāt afford either, so they donāt provide either. Even ignoring the possible pitfalls of for-profit motives, youāre going to end up with a weakened education system because without collective funding, all education must be geared towards the statistical average.
And without the department of education they wonāt track who is falling behind or notā¦ So it must be fineā¦
Also Reading scores are falling and thats exactly what they wantā¦ Canāt stay informed if its not given to you on 10 sec clipsā¦ Which is why we are where we areā¦
Letās not forget about how he wants to end the department of educationā¦ Lets just get segregation back even though you are going to kick out all the people of color from this countryā¦ Say goodbye to financial aid to make it harder for poor people to get educated when you have to pay for your schoolā¦
Even if only Half of the shit he wants to do gets through itās already too much ā¦
Iām already sick of hearing about him again multiple times a dayā¦ I was so relieved when he wasnāt president the last time and we heard almost nothing about Bidenā¦ It was refreshingā¦
