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.
I love the use of these vague terms of “wokeness” and “left-wing indoctrination” which can change meaning any time to fit whatever narrative is trying to be pushed 😑
Teacher: “Slavery was bad.”
Republicans: “We need to end this indoctrination of our children.”
Someone used the same tactic in the 30s in Germany
Fuck trump
No thanks
He gets more moronic daily
He aims to cut federal funding for schools defying his policies and eliminate the U.S. Education Department.
He aims to use funding as a cudgel to coerce schools to do his bidding while also aiming to remove the cudgel he plans to use to coerce schools to do his bidding.
Anytime you see the word “woke” or “wokeness” from a conservative, replace it with “kindness”.
Sometimes it’s just intelligence. They’re very proud of their ignorance and hate.
Let me guess, next he’s going to force math lessons to teach children how much it costs the public to care for the disabled
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 aren’t actually pro small government/freedom. That’s all just opposition rhetoric. When they are in power, it’s as much government in your face as possible.
Can’t wait to have the public school system completely dismantled in favor of charter schools… You know those for profit, less regulated, fund stealing… Alternative schools to public ones that they have been trying to push for years now… They also cost money who would of thought
I’m sure the dumbasses that voted for this asshole will be able to make a connection between priorities like this and lowering the price of eggs and bacon.
No more diversity, equality and inclusion. Instead there’ll be discrimination, inequality and exclusion.
I can only imagine how far into the future this will eventually sink the republican party. But let’s take a look, can’t do much about it since we’re too stupid to see how dumb the whole electoral college thing is. California holding a miniscule number of representatives so if you live in California, you basically got no voice. But if you milk cows in Montana, then you can force Florida to have the ten commandments in schools.
You can only push people so far. Specially if we get invaded by China and suddenly all normalcy goes out the window.
I was with you till the last sentence. No one can invade the US. It’s literally impossible for any country to do, or even every country. Unfortunately for us and the rest of the world, having a 2500 mile front on one side and a 3500 mile front on the other makes us untouchable.
The only weapons that any country could use directly against the US with its current military are ICBMs and I’m pretty sure that is the one weapon no one wants to use. Except Trump, cause he’s a moron.
It’s not impossible to invade the US. It’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.
It’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 couldn’t immediately steamroll with the National Guard, also has the craft to transport said army across an ocean.
Currently, and for the foreseeable future, it’s impossible, and not worth even considering as a possibility.
Oh, and if you’re referring to the Japanese “invasion” of 1942, that wasn’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 couldn’t be touched.
The last country that dared to touch our shit was Russia, before that Iran. It didn’t go well for either of them.
We are already completely indoctrinated into capitalism at school. We dont learn of our country’s wrong doings to their own civilians. We dont learn of any other method of governing even just to inspect and question it. We are already in capitalist indoctrination camps. The left does not actually exist in this country because you can’t do anything that potentially harms profits if you aren’t an elite.
Oh, they tried to do this in sweden. They have promissed an examination of “wokeness” in higher education. They celebrated a university forbidding “any conversation a passer by could interpret as political”. They have not started it yet, and they just changed the guy that is supposed to be the anti-woke minister in this context after the summer. So we will share this journey.
Great another president that wants to start wars against ideas and facets of culture 🙄
