The Trump administration ordered the Department of Education building to be vacated by 6:00 PM and closed the following day. The speaker asserts that massive cuts and layoffs are expected at the Department of Education. The speaker claims that eliminating the Department of Education is a primary goal of Project 2025, with the aim to cut education funding to the states. According to the speaker, the Trump administration and Christian nationalists want an uneducated populace to make them easier to control as slave labor for billionaires. They allegedly don't want people to have critical thinking skills because an uneducated populace is easier to control.

Get your kids out of government schools if possible. The education system has been intentionally federalized and influenced by atheists, Marxists, and humanists, who reject Christianity and promote secularism as an alternative religion. This shift began long before the 1960s, rooted in the progressive era, with a deliberate effort to remove God from schools, disrupting traditional family relationships. In the past, schools included the Bible and prayer, but modern interpretations of the First Amendment have led to their removal. The pledge of allegiance, originally lacking "under God," was altered during the Cold War. The education system promotes democracy, which the founders opposed, and the left manipulates language to create alternate realities, using schools as a means to increase control and power.

There are executive orders related to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives that are currently on hold, so we don't need to evaluate their potential impact right now due to ongoing litigation and uncertainty. Of the three executive orders regarding education, only two are relevant, as the third pertains to higher education. One executive order, issued on January 29, aims to cut federal funding for schools teaching what the administration terms gender ideology and critical race theory. However, it includes the phrase "consistent with applicable law," offering flexibility in interpretation. The power for educational curriculum remains with the states. Federal law prohibits the federal government from interfering in state and local decisions about K-12 curriculum, and no executive order can override that.

As attorneys general, we will not yield to the President or Elon Musk. Musk currently operates without accountability, pushing for an ideological litmus test by pausing funds for essential services like Social Security, veteran payments, and state aid. This is unconstitutional and unacceptable. We are prepared to uphold the law against these overreaches of authority. We've already acted when birthright citizenship and NIH funding were challenged, securing temporary restraining orders (TROs). We also acted when funding was paused for agencies, meals on wheels, veteran services and law enforcement grants, securing TROs. We'll continue to challenge these actions in court to protect the Constitution, reminding the President, Musk, and others that our government is not unilateral. Congressional consent is required, and we are confident we'll obtain a preliminary injunction.

The speaker claims the rise of certain issues in localities nationwide originates with the unelected US Department of Education. This department allegedly uses its $83 billion budget to pressure schools into adopting "toxic ideologies" by threatening to withhold federal funding. The speaker states they are the first US presidential candidate to propose abolishing the Department of Education. They argue that 25% of the department's budget could fund three armed security guards in every school across the nation, which they present as a superior use of funds.

There is a campaign to erase our history, defame our heroes, and indoctrinate our children. Angry mobs are tearing down statues, defacing memorials, and causing violent crime. Some people don't understand why they are doing this, but others do. They believe Americans are weak, but we are strong and proud. Far-left fascism is spreading in our schools, newsrooms, and corporate boardrooms, demanding absolute allegiance. If you don't comply, you will be punished. To protect our monuments, arrest rioters, and prosecute offenders, federal law enforcement will be deployed.

The administration is fighting to remove critical race theory from school districts. Children will be taught to love America, be patriots, and embrace civic values to receive federal taxpayer funding. As the Department of Education closes and funding is provided to states, the administration will ensure funds are not used to promote communist ideology. A nation cannot teach its children to hate themselves and their country to be successful.

Jesse Hagopian, a teacher in Seattle, commends the work of teachers in Florida who are defying laws to discuss systemic racism. He highlights how Florida's ban on African American Studies curriculum led to the removal of the word "systemic" from the course. Hagopian warns that Florida's laws, such as the ban on discussing LGBTQ+ topics, are being exported to other states. He draws parallels between the current situation and the McCarthy era, where teachers were fired for being labeled communist or homosexual. Hagopian believes that the civil rights movement and LGBTQ+ liberation are crucial in combating these oppressive laws. He expresses concern about the possibility of teachers being jailed and offers his support to those facing felony charges.

The speaker claims the administration believes the court order is unlawful, and that a district court judge shouldn't interfere with foreign policy or military decisions. They argue that power has become too concentrated in the unelected bureaucracy and judiciary, shrinking the scope of democracy. They state that judges protect bureaucrats, preventing the president from implementing policy shifts. As an example, they claim that bureaucrats collude with the ACLU and the judiciary to prevent the deportation of aliens. The speaker asserts the president has the authority to remove terrorist gangs from the country under the Constitution, the Alien Enemies Act, the INA, and Article Two powers. They conclude that a district court judge cannot direct the expulsion of terrorists who are also in the country illegally.

There's concern about teaching a biased version of history. But, despite state standards and other influences, we prioritize doing what's right for the kids in our district. For example, we avoid explicitly stating that we teach Next Generation Science Standards to avoid scrutiny, but we still cover the material. Essentially, we navigate the requirements carefully. They can't fully control what we teach. At the end of the day, we do what's right by closing the door and teaching the correct information. That's our approach.

Public schools are being influenced by the radical left, so my plan is to restore power to American parents. First, we'll cut federal funding for schools promoting critical race theory, gender ideology, or inappropriate content. We'll investigate any school district engaging in race-based discrimination, including against Asian Americans. The Marxism taught in schools is hostile to Judeo-Christian teachings, so we'll pursue violations of the establishment and free exercise clauses. On day one, we'll remove radical zealots from the Department of Education. We'll veto efforts to weaponize civics education, keep men out of women's sports, and create a new credentialing body for patriotic teachers. We'll also implement reforms like abolishing teacher tenure, reducing school administrators, and giving parents more control over curriculum and school principals. Our goal is to provide a high-quality, pro-American education for our children.

The federal government is focusing on trans youth, with the goal to force them back into the closet by hindering their equal participation in school and society. Access to bathrooms is presented as a key issue, representing access to the building itself. Executive orders have been issued to condition federal funding on ending gender-affirming care for those 19 and under, investigate trans girls in sports, prevent funding for trans-inclusive schools, and redefine sex to exclude trans people. Executive orders don't change the law but set the agenda. While most agencies haven't implemented these orders, some actions have been taken, like against a Denver high school with gender-neutral bathrooms. Federal laws protecting against sex discrimination include protections for trans people, based on Supreme Court interpretation. Agencies must receive and consider public comments when changing policy. State-level bills address students' names and pronouns, but there's also work to protect trans students. New York amended its constitution to prevent anti-trans discrimination. It's still legal for kids to use bathrooms consistent with their gender identity in 31 states, and 23 states don't prevent trans kids from playing sports. Laws banning trans kids from sports have been blocked in five states, and 14 states have shield laws protecting gender-affirming care. Students retain speech rights, and curricular decisions are made locally. Legal resources are available to defend trans kids at school.

Trump understands that control of education is the fastest path to authoritarianism and fascism, therefore he is assaulting educators and using education to open the door to fascism. "We protect us" must be a strategy, not just a slogan. Legal strategies alone are insufficient because Trump disregards the law. A broader strategy is needed, similar to the social movement that ended McCarthyism, requiring a mass multiracial movement. The Teach Truth National Day of Action on June 7 is an opportunity for educators, unions, parents, students, and others to show solidarity and resist authoritarianism. Resources for setting up ban book tables, teach-ins, and walking tours are available on the ZYN Education Project website.

According to Speaker 0, Article Two of the Constitution vests executive power in the President, meaning the President defines the executive branch. Speaker 0 believes the proposed amendment violates the separation of powers and Article Two because it implies a federal court could define or limit the duties of individuals within the President's executive office. Speaker 1 asks if the bill codifies Article Two to remind the court of its limitations, and if the amendment would undo that. Speaker 0 confirms this interpretation. Speaker 1 suggests that without such a bill, a president would have to answer claims in multiple places across 50 states, potentially using nonofficial funds. Speaker 0 agrees, citing the use of courts for "nefarious purposes" since 2017 and the weaponization of "lawfare" against President Trump, arguing the president alone defines the duties of personnel within the executive office.

Public schools are being influenced by the radical left, and I have a plan to save American education. First, we will cut federal funding for schools promoting critical race theory, gender ideology, or inappropriate content. We will investigate any school district engaging in race-based discrimination, including against Asian Americans. The Marxism taught in schools is hostile to Judeo-Christian teachings, so we will pursue violations of the establishment and free exercise clauses. We will remove radical individuals from the Federal Department of Education. We will veto efforts to weaponize civics education and ensure fairness in women's sports. We will create a new credentialing body for patriotic teachers and implement reforms like abolishing teacher tenure, reducing school administrators, and giving parents more control over curriculum and school principals. We will prioritize high-quality education for our children.

Leaked lesson plans from a freshman education course at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign sparked backlash after a student whistleblower exposed the level of hard left ideology being taught. The student shared six weeks of lectures with Fox News Digital, accusing the professor of turning an intro course into an indoctrination seminar focused on, you guessed it, equity, identity, and oppression amongst other practices. Slides from the course, which is a requirement to graduate, show first year education majors were trained to prioritize equity, LGBTQ plus issues, privileged identities, and preferred pronouns. Erica Donalds, AFPI Center for Education Opportunity Chair, responded that what the student whistleblower reveals is political, not an education course, and called it a course in liberal left wing Democrat politics. She argued it is infuriating to taxpayers paying for these courses that it explicitly teaches new teachers to be activists and to view schools as part of a larger political system, with the ideologies in the PowerPoint described as radical left wing ideologies being pushed on students instead of teaching the science of reading, how to teach rigorous math, and other fundamentals. She noted that brand new teachers coming out of teacher colleges are "woefully unprepared," citing surveys. The discussion highlighted concerns that if teachers focus on such content, they cannot teach students what they need to know. The problem, it was said, lies with the people teaching the teachers, suggesting reforms must target teacher certification and the ideologues running these programs. Donalds advocated reforming teacher certification, arguing that students who majored in core subjects must return to take courses from colleges of education for purposes of indoctrination and protectionism by teachers unions. One point raised: courses on privilege can lead to teaching individuals to shame children for how they were born, a concern about teaching young adults who are preparing to be teachers. The discussion asserted that parents and teachers are being disillusioned by education schools, undermining trust in colleges of education and colleges in general. On the political front, Linda McMahon, the Education Department Secretary, was discussed in the context of dismantling the department. It was stated that groups suing to stop reforms are not parents or classroom teachers, but teachers unions, progressive school district coalitions, and advocacy groups that benefit from centralized federal control and oppose curriculum transparency and accountability. The claim was that Congress created the department, but nothing requires it to remain an untouched bureaucracy, and McMahon is reportedly working to deliver on a promise to dismantle the Department of Education, with some functions moved to the Treasury, the Labor Department, and HHS. The conversation concluded with support for McMahon’s efforts and skepticism about the department’s longevity, ending with a light remark about the department’s age.

The executive power is vested in the President of the United States, as stated in Article Two of the Constitution. No court can assume that role or define the duties of those in the executive office. This amendment violates the separation of powers and Article Two, implying a federal court could limit the duties of individuals within the President's office, which isn't their role. Without action, presidents face numerous claims across multiple states, potentially using non-official funds to respond. Since 2017, courts have been used nefariously. Lawfare has been weaponized against President Trump, even after his presidency. The President defines the duties of personnel within the office, as clearly stated in Article Two.

Thank you, Mark, and Kelly for that inspiring quote. I’m Fatima Goss Graves, president and CEO of the National Women's Law Center. After reviewing the recent executive order, I want to highlight three key points. First, the current agenda is not just an attack on diversity; it targets our foundational civil rights. The use of the acronym DEI aims to alienate and undermine the principles of diversity. Second, there is a concerted effort to intimidate businesses and schools into abandoning their anti-discrimination efforts, with federal power backing this bullying. Finally, while these late-night directives may continue, we will defend the right to work and learn safely and with dignity, both in the courts and through collective action. Thank you.

The speaker asserts that the Trump administration has engaged in authoritarian actions, instilling fear and punishing those who oppose him. They claim college students have been abducted for exercising free speech and detained in ICE facilities. Universities are allegedly punished for ideological disagreements through federal funding revocation. The speaker states that law firms challenging Trump have been targeted with unconstitutional executive orders. They allege that Paul Weiss and Scadden Arps settled by agreeing to represent only pro-Trump causes, while Perkins Coe, Covington and Burling, and Jenner and Block have successfully challenged the orders in court.

The speaker addresses board rulings concerning fire and provisionary workers, stating the administration will "fight back" against an injunction they believe is unconstitutional. They claim a low-level district court judge cannot usurp the executive authority of the President. The speaker asserts the President has the authority to fire employees, and lower-level judges are attempting to block the President's agenda. They cite a statistic claiming 15 injunctions against the administration occurred in February alone, compared to 14 in three years under the Biden administration, alleging judicial activists are trying to block the President's executive authority. The speaker references President Trump's legal team's fighting back, emphasizing that indictments and injunctions have been unconstitutional and unfair, led by partisan activists attempting to usurp the President's will.

The speaker claims the person in charge is surrounded by people who know nothing about education and want to focus on bureaucracy and cutting funds. They state that education should be about children, broadband access in schools, pedagogy research, and the Department of Education's civil rights department, which prevents segregation, referencing Ruby Bridges. The speaker believes we are returning to a time where segregation is possible. They acknowledge that curriculums are decided locally, but that the person in charge is "muddying the waters."

The administration is fighting to remove critical race theory from school districts. Children will be taught to love America, be patriots, and embrace civic values to receive federal taxpayer funding. As the Department of Education closes and funding shifts to states, the administration will ensure funds are not used to promote communist ideology. A nation cannot teach its children to hate themselves or their country to be successful.

The Department of Education is allegedly staffed by radical left Marxist bureaucrats who are hostile to Western civilization, American interests, and the nation's founding documents. These individuals are purportedly using their positions to force agendas such as radical gender ideology, critical race theory, and diversity, equity, and inclusion on American students and children. This allegedly takes away parents' ability to control their children's education. The plan under President Trump is to return authority to the local level, allowing parents to control outcomes, while ensuring that no federal funds support racism, gender ideology, or other ideas offensive to the American taxpayer.
