Summary

Donald Trump has proposed major changes to the U.S. education system, including eliminating the Department of Education to give states more control.

His Agenda47 plan also aims to restrict school content on topics like race, gender, and sexuality, dismantle diversity initiatives, and promote “patriotic values” through teacher certification and curriculum changes.

Trump supports universal school choice, allowing public funds for private education, and seeks to end teacher tenure, replacing it with merit-based pay.

For higher education, he proposes creating a free “American Academy” funded by taxing private universities.

How exactly is this all going to be done without a Department of Education? One paragraph says give states more control and the next one says control the curriculum.

States’ Rights only matter when Republicans agree with them.

I was sure that him whining that at the debate would be the final nail in his political coffin. I’m so disappointed in my fellow Americans.

The Truth in Learning and Jesus is lord department of proper thought.

For a quick idea of the coming total control of morality‡ across all society, learn about the 7 mountain mandate (7mm)
