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.

    I love the use of these vague terms of ā€œwokenessā€ and ā€œleft-wing indoctrinationā€ which can change meaning any time to fit whatever narrative is trying to be pushed šŸ˜‘

      Teacher: ā€œSlavery was bad.ā€

      Republicans: ā€œWe need to end this indoctrination of our children.ā€

        This isnā€™t an exaggeration, this literally has been happening already before the GOP controlled the entire federal government.

          Anything that makes ā€œwhite kidsā€ uncomfortable or ā€œguiltyā€ is being banned which 100% includes the mention of slavery.

          Or maybe parents shouldnā€™t tie their identity to traitorous states that murdered Americans so rich people could own black people.
