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.

    Itā€™s not impossible to invade the US. Itā€™s been done several times already, for example 1942 and 1812. Mexico, which shares the same oceanic borders, was invaded by France in 1861 and of course the entirety of the Americas was essentially invaded by colonial settlers.

    Itā€™s unlikely for other reasons, but nothing about it is impossible.

      It is flat out a logistical impossibility for any nation to do currently, or anytime soon. No one except the US has a deep water Navy, and no one that has an army that we couldnā€™t immediately steamroll with the National Guard, also has the craft to transport said army across an ocean.

      Currently, and for the foreseeable future, itā€™s impossible, and not worth even considering as a possibility.

      Oh, and if youā€™re referring to the Japanese ā€œinvasionā€ of 1942, that wasnā€™t an invasion. They never landed an army, neither did the Nazis, for the exact same reasons I just specified. Sure they had deep water navies. We promptly sank their navies so that we couldnā€™t be touched.

      The last country that dared to touch our shit was Russia, before that Iran. It didnā€™t go well for either of them.
