President Trump released his plan Thursday to save American education and give control of schools back to parents.
Trump warned that we have a “major problem” if we have “pink-haired communists teaching our kids.”
You can watch his announcement here.
The policies outlined by President Trump include:
- Cutting federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, gender ideology, or any other inappropriate content
- Initiating a Department of Education civil rights investigation into race based discrimination at schools
- Aggressively pursuing potential violations of freedom of religion
- Finding and removing “the radical zealots and marxists in the Department of Education”
- Implement preferential funding to states and school districts that make the following changes:
- Abolish teacher tenure for grades K-12, and instead adopt merit pay
- Drastically cut the bloated number of school administrators
- Adopt a parental bill of rights that includes complete curriculum transparency and school choice
- The direct election of principals by parents
I prefer to simply dissolve the Department of Education. There is no mention of this useless Federal bureaucratic agency in the Constitutions list of Enumerated Powers! Refer to Article One-Section Eight of the Constitution! Respectfully it’s not in there! Sounds like overreach to me!!!
