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.
