Summary

Donald Trumpā€™s education agenda centers on eliminating ā€œwokenessā€ and ā€œleft-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 ā€œpatriotic education,ā€ a nationwide ban on transgender athletes in womenā€™s 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.

    In a hilarious way if he destroys the federal department of education he can no longer tell states what they are allowed to teach

      Republicans arenā€™t actually pro small government/freedom. Thatā€™s all just opposition rhetoric. When they are in power, itā€™s as much government in your face as possible.

      Balkanization is really one of the only possible paths out of this, I feel like.

      But then weā€™ll all have crazy far right nutjobs doing cross-border raids, because theyā€™ve shown for decades that they are incapable of running a state and keeping it solvent without help from the (now defunct) federal government.
