President-elect wants to keep transgender athletes out of girls’ sports, forbid classroom lessons on gender identity and structural racism, and abolish diversity and inclusion offices
Donald Trump’s vision for education revolves around a single goal: to rid America’s schools of perceived “ wokeness ” and “left-wing indoctrination.”
Trump’s opponents say his vision of America’s schools is warped by politics – that the type of liberal indoctrination he rails against is a fiction. They say his proposals will undermine public“It’s fear-based, non-factual information, and I would call it propaganda,” said Wil Del Pilar, senior vice president for Education Trust, a research and advocacy organization. “There is no evidence that students are being taught to question their sexuality in schools.
Colleges rely more heavily on federal money, especially the grants and loans the government gives students to pay for tuition. Trump also has hinted at potential legislation to deliver some of his promises, including fining universities over diversity initiatives. Most of the threats came to nothing, though he succeeded in getting Congress to add a tax on wealthy university endowments, and his Education Department made sweeping changes to rules around campus sexual assault.
“We’re going to end education coming out of Washington, D.C.,” Trump said on his website last year. In his platform, he pledged to ensure schools are “free from political meddling.” Trump also wants a say in school curriculum, vowing to fight for “patriotic” education. He promised to reinstate his 1776 Commission, which he created in 2021 to promote patriotic education. The panel created a report that called progressivism a “challenge to American principles” alongside fascism.
