During his fiery speech in Philadelphia this past Saturday, President Trump promised to shut down the federal Department of Education when he is re-elected.
His ambitious plan aims to end the indoctrination of students through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, Critical Race Theory (CRT), and the inclusion of “woke sexual content” in school curricula.
For many years, American schools have been infiltrated by leftist teachers and administrators who prioritize political agendas over education.
At the rally, he detailed his vision for a major overhaul of the American education system, advocating for a shift from federal oversight to state control.
“I will shut down the federal Department of Education, and we will move everything back to the states where it belongs and where they can individualize education and do it with the love for their children,” Trump said.

President Trump has consistently advocated for school choice and local control, arguing that parents and local communities are best equipped to understand and address the needs of their students.
Watch President Trump’s Ten Principles For Great Schools Leading To Great Jobs below:

- Empowerment of Local Schools: Empower parents and local school boards to hire and reward great principals and teachers, and to fire those whose performance is unsatisfactory.

- Patriotism in Education: Teach students to love their country.
- Prayer in Schools: Support the reintroduction of prayer in schools.
