Former President Donald Trump announced Thursday his plan to “save American education” from “the Radical Left maniacs” as part of his 2024 presidential campaign.

The plan, unveiled on Twitter, focuses on tackling cultural issues in education including critical race theory (CRT) and gender ideology. Trump proposed cutting federal funding from schools that promote “[CRT], gender ideology, or other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content onto our children,” the investigation of schools which engage in “race-based discrimination,” and keeping men out of women’s sports.

Trump also made several proposals on reforms he would make in K-12 classrooms, which include going after “Marxis[t]” content that is “hostile to Judeo-Christian teachings.” He said that Marxism resembles “an established new religion” and promised to “aggressively pursue potential violations of the establishment clause and the free exercise clause of the Constitution,” according to a video explaining the plan.

Trump also promised to “remove the radical zealots and Marxists who have influenced the Federal Department of Education” and have them “fired and escorted from the building.” He said these employees know “who [they] are” and that President Joe Biden gave them “unchecked power.”
Other promises included the hiring of teachers who express “patriotic values” and funding for schools which adopt several reform efforts. The reforms include abolishing tenure for K-12 teachers, cutting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) funding, adopting a “parental bill of rights” to boost “curriculum transparency” and school choice and adopting a system where parents can elect school principals.
“It’s all about the parents for their children. 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 fire them and select one who will,” he said.
Trump announced his presidential bid in November, making him the first candidate to publicly toss his name into the hat for the 2024 presidential election. The campaign marks his third consecutive run for the highest office.
“As the saying goes, ‘personnel is policy,’ and at the end of the day if we have pink-haired communists teaching our kids, we have a major problem,” Trump said. “When I’m president we will put parents back in charge and give them the final say. We will get back to teaching reading, writing and math … and we will give our kids the high quality, pro-American education they deserve.”

EDITOR’S NOTE: What is behind the current war against America’s children? Why are so many adults killing their unborn children right up to the moment of birth, or even after? Why are millions of kids sexualized virtually from birth, and injected with an experimental “vaccine” proven to be both ineffective and dangerous, then as toddlers transported to events glorifying mentally ill, demonically possessed men dressed as women?
Why are America’s children systematically sexualized at school, and by transgender recruiters on social media platforms like TikTok, seducing many into “identifying” as the opposite gender, or a brand-new imaginary gender, then encouraged to take powerful drugs and hormones and have their healthy breasts amputated or undergo chemical or surgical castration?
Why are our children simultaneously indoctrinated with toxic Marxist ideologies like “critical race theory” intended to condition them to hate and reject their own country, parents, faith, race, gender and themselves? Why are they simultaneously being frightened of the future by being fed lurid, terrifying – and groundless – apocalyptic tales of the imminent destruction of the world due to global warming?
No wonder youth suicides have skyrocketed, as have depression, anxiety, addiction and drug overdoses. Indeed, fentanyl, the No. 1 cause of death of younger Americans 18 to 45, destroys multitudes of children annually.
Make no mistake: The harm being done to America’s children in this multi-front war is not accidental: Children are the primary target.
WHY? How can all this be happening in the greatest nation on earth? Who and what is behind it? And HOW CAN IT BE STOPPED?
