American universities, once admired for their excellence, have lost public trust due to their shift towards pushing political agendas. This has resulted in a decline in the importance of a college degree and a decrease in the number of high school graduates pursuing higher education. Universities have prioritized political and social engineering over academic merit, as seen in the downplaying of merit-based admissions in favor of racial quotas. The humanities have experienced grade inflation and the emergence of political agendas as academic fields. Lack of political diversity is ignored, hindering the ability to analyze various issues. The culture of diversity has given rise to safe spaces, trigger warnings, and speech codes that limit free expression. Recent protests have highlighted the inconsistency in protecting certain groups. Universities must refocus on their core strengths of research and learning to regain their reputation as centers of excellence.

Universities rely on four main sources of federal funding: federal student loans, federal research funding, tax exemptions for operations, and tax exemptions for endowments. If these funding sources were withdrawn, many universities would face bankruptcy. The accreditation process for universities, controlled by existing institutions through nonprofit accreditation bureaus, restricts new universities from accessing federal student loans. This creates a government-supported cartel that hinders innovation and progress. To improve the system, a complete overhaul is necessary, allowing failing institutions to collapse and new ones to emerge. The current system is stagnant and unable to be fixed in its present form.

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.

As president, I will shut down the Department of Education and give the $80 billion budget to parents for K-12 education. I will also require localities to eliminate teachers unions so that public schools can compete with private and charter schools. Civic education should be online, and costs for college education have skyrocketed due to excessive hiring in the managerial class. To cut costs, we need to reduce bureaucracy in the federal government and public universities. I am not a politician, and I understand how to legally shut down the administrative deep state. If Joe Biden can shut down agencies with a constitutional basis, I would support his decision. ICE should be shut down to reduce bureaucracy, but we still need to enforce the laws. We need to focus on our own vision and explain why reducing the size of the federal government will stimulate the economy and restore our constitutional republic.

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.

To combat antisemitism and defend Jewish citizens, the speaker plans to take the following actions upon returning to the Oval Office: The administration will inform college presidents that failure to end antisemitic propaganda will result in the loss of accreditation and federal tax credits. The speaker believes this action will be highly effective. Educational institutions will be informed that they will be held accountable for civil rights law violations if they permit violence, harassment, or threats against Jewish students. Jewish Americans must have equal protection under the law. The administration will act quickly to restore safety for Jewish students and Jewish people on American streets.

I will close the Department of Education in Washington, D.C., and return all education responsibilities to the states. States can manage education better than the federal government, as evidenced by our poor performance compared to other countries. We will eliminate federal oversight and close down the department, as many within it do not prioritize the well-being of our children. Education should be handled at the state level for improved outcomes. Thank you.

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.

To combat anti-Semitism and protect Jewish citizens in America, my administration will take decisive action. In my first week back in the Oval Office, I will notify college presidents that failure to eliminate anti-Semitic propaganda will result in loss of accreditation and federal funding. This will create significant change. Additionally, educational institutions that allow violence, harassment, or threats against Jewish students will be held accountable under civil rights laws. It is crucial that Jewish Americans receive equal protection under the law, and my administration will ensure their safety and rights are restored swiftly.

The speaker states President Trump is committed to eliminating antisemitism, which they claim is rampant. They assert the Biden/Garland administration did nothing to address it. The speaker says that under their leadership in the DOJ, the federal government is suing universities guilty of antisemitism under Title VI, with the goal of bankrupting them by taking away federal dollars. They mention an investigation into the entire UC system in California, citing harassment of both students and employees. The speaker believes the academic system has been hijacked by the left and Marxists, influencing young people from K-12 onwards. They express embarrassment at what happened at UCLA, their alma mater. They criticize local officials in blue cities for allegedly turning their backs on Jewish Americans and are sending letters to mayors and DAs of major cities, threatening federal intervention and hate crime charges. The speaker says they are targeting 13 schools and plan to remove professional agitators and expel students involved in antisemitic acts. They warn universities to cooperate or face federal action.

I will shatter the left-wing censorship regime and reclaim the right to free speech for all Americans. I will ban federal departments from colluding with organizations to censor American citizens. The Department of Justice will investigate and prosecute crimes related to online censorship. Section 230 will be revised to hold big online platforms accountable for neutrality and transparency. The toxic censorship industry will be broken up, and universities engaging in censorship will lose federal support. Criminal penalties will be imposed on federal bureaucrats who violate constitutional rights. A calling-off period will be implemented for former intelligence officials joining companies with US user data. A digital bill of rights will be passed, ensuring due process and the right to appeal content removal. Users will have the right to opt out of content moderation. Restoring free speech will save our nation.

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.

We face a crisis in education. It's time to dismantle the Department of Education and redirect its $80 billion budget to parents, empowering them to choose their children's schools. This is a crucial civil rights issue. By allowing parents to select schools and enabling public schools to compete, we can strengthen our national identity. Additionally, every high school senior should be required to pass the same civics test that immigrants must pass to become citizens.

Here are 10 key ideas to enhance our education system: 1. Respect parents' rights in their children's education. 2. Empower parents and local school boards to hire and fire teachers based on performance. 3. Focus classrooms on essential subjects like reading, writing, and math, not political indoctrination. 4. Foster a love for the country among students. 5. Support the return of prayer in schools. 6. Ensure safe, drug-free schools with strict consequences for harmful behavior. 7. Provide school choice for parents. 8. Offer project-based learning experiences. 9. Facilitate internships and work experiences for students. 10. Provide excellent career counseling for students. Additionally, I will close the Department of Education in Washington, D.C., returning control to the states for better management of education.

I want to thank President Trump for his confidence in me to lead the Department of Education. Americans support the president's vision to make American education the best in the world, return education to the states, and free students from bureaucracy through school choice, and I am ready to enact it. We can do better for students by teaching basic reading and mathematics, protecting students from censorship and antisemitism, and ensuring that American values and true history are taught. The remedy is to fund education freedom, listen to parents, build up careers, empower states, and invest in teachers. If confirmed, I will work with congress to reorient the department toward helping educators, not controlling them, putting parents, teachers, and students first. We should emphasize career-focused education, invest in American students who want to become tech pioneers, and protect all students from discrimination and harassment.

On day 1, I will sign an executive order to cut federal funding for schools promoting critical race theory, transgender issues, or inappropriate content for children. I will not fund schools with vaccine or mask mandates and will protect women's sports from male participation. Thank you.

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 speaker rejects the idea that American citizens lack the talent to excel and believes that reducing foreign student visas presents an opportunity for Americans. American higher education, particularly in biology, faces a reproducibility crisis, with many published papers being irreproducible and not representing sound science. Furthermore, these institutions are allegedly engaging in explicit racial discrimination against whites and Asians, violating the Civil Rights Act. The speaker suggests government intervention to ensure accountability, prevent civil rights violations, and ensure that federally funded science is of high quality. The speaker clarifies that this is accountability, not a war on institutions.

Joe Biden signed an executive order establishing an equity enforcement squad in federal departments and agencies. This order is criticized for promoting a Marxist concept of equity, which prioritizes skin color and sexual identity over merit or qualifications. The speaker believes this is a catchall term used by the radical left to justify their programs. They argue that Biden is weaponizing government power to push racism and communism. The speaker promises to revoke the executive order, instruct the Department of Justice to investigate discrimination, terminate staff implementing the policy, and reverse actions taken under the equity agenda. They also propose creating a restitution fund and restoring merit-based civil service. The goal is to remove extremism from the White House, military, justice department, and government.

The Department of Education has over 4,000 employees with an average salary exceeding $144,000. The Trump administration considered laying off half the department. The department's mission is to provide student achievement and prepare for global competitiveness. US test scores are declining; in 2022, the US ranked 16th in science, 9th in reading, and 34th in math, and scores have fallen since 2018. The Department of Education funds schools with $80-85 billion in loans and grants, but often with strings attached, such as critical race theory and gender ideology. Shutting down the Department of Education would return that money to the states, which could then fund school choice programs. This would allow parents in low-income neighborhoods to move their children to better schools, creating a competitive market. The speaker believes this would be better for children and the country, despite the political opposition.

President Trump inherited a crisis of racial discrimination via DEI policies, including in air traffic control and law enforcement, where hiring was allegedly based on race and sex rather than merit. Trump ended race and sex-based hiring across the federal government and intends to enforce civil rights laws, penalizing companies violating them. The administration is investigating universities for violating the Supreme Court's ruling against affirmative action and for sex-based discrimination under Title IX, threatening to withhold federal funds. The administration considers changing a child's gender without parental consent to be child abuse and opposes taxpayer-funded chemical castrations and sexual mutilations of children. HHS has removed pro-sex change science. Male prisoners will not be allowed in women's prisons. The administration aims to remove critical race theory from schools, promoting patriotism and civic values. Trump is fighting wasteful spending, the trade crisis, illegal immigration, and the economic crisis by reopening American energy, defeating inflation, and pursuing tax and deregulation reform. He aims to restore peace globally, reversing the economic, border, public safety, and cultural catastrophes he inherited.

Some colleges with huge endowments should not rely on government funding. If they want federal money, they must prioritize students' civil rights. College leaders who fail to do so should be replaced by trustees for the good of the institution.

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.

The corruption and weaponization of our justice system pose a severe threat to American freedom. As president, I will prioritize restoring fairness and equality under the law by appointing U.S. attorneys who oppose the current trend of selective enforcement by certain district attorneys. We will investigate these officials for potential violations of federal civil rights laws and hold them accountable. A federal inquiry will also be launched into the prosecution of individuals defending themselves against threats. Additionally, we will address the use of police tactics against conservatives and reform the legal profession to protect conservative lawyers. Our legal system, a cornerstone of Western civilization, must be preserved from radical influences. Thank you.

Tuition costs at colleges and universities have skyrocketed while the education system has been influenced by the radical left. To reclaim our educational institutions, the college accreditation system needs a major overhaul. The current accreditors have failed to prevent schools from being dominated by Marxists and extremists. When I'm back in the White House, I will fire these left-leaning accreditors and replace them with new ones who will enforce real standards. These standards will include defending American traditions, protecting free speech, reducing administrative costs, removing diversity and inclusion bureaucrats, offering affordable degrees, providing job placement services, and implementing exams to ensure students are learning. Schools engaging in racial discrimination will face federal civil rights cases and potential financial penalties. We need to eliminate this anti-American insanity from our colleges and prioritize real education.
