Former President Donald Trump on Thursday outlined a plan to overhaul the American education system and restore parental rights.
The 12-point plan entails cutting federal funding for institutions espousing Critical Race Theory, gender ideology, and other sexual or political content, as well as aggressively investigating institutions accused of racial discrimination.
Trump also hopes to keep men out of women’s sports programs, remove radical activists in the Department of Education, embrace merit-based pay for teachers.
“Our public schools have been taken over by the Radical Left maniacs,” Trump declared.Â
“we will begin to find and remove the radicals, zealots, and Marxists who have infiltrated the federal Department of Education, and that also includes others, and you know who you are,” he continued. “Because We are not going to allow anyone to hurt our children. Joe Biden has given these lunatics unchecked power—I will have them fired and escorted from the building.”
To address parental concerns, Trump proposed implementing “the direct election of school principals by the parents.”
“More than anyone else, parents know what their children need. If any principal is not getting the job done, the parents should be able to vote to fire them and select someone who will. This will be the ultimate form of local control,” he asserted.
