President-elect Donald Trump has a vision for education that revolves around a single goal: to rid America’s schools of perceived “wokeness” and “left-wing indoctrination.”

Summary

Donald Trump’s education agenda centers on eliminating “wokeness” and “left-wing indoctrination” in schools.

His plans include banning lessons on gender identity and structural racism, abolishing diversity offices, and barring transgender athletes in girls’ sports.

He aims to cut federal funding for schools defying his policies and eliminate the U.S. Education Department. Trump also proposes “patriotic education,” a nationwide ban on transgender athletes in women’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.

    Let’s not forget about how he wants to end the department of education… Lets just get segregation back even though you are going to kick out all the people of color from this country… Say goodbye to financial aid to make it harder for poor people to get educated when you have to pay for your school…

    Even if only Half of the shit he wants to do gets through it’s already too much …

    I’m already sick of hearing about him again multiple times a day… I was so relieved when he wasn’t president the last time and we heard almost nothing about Biden… It was refreshing…
