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.

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.

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.

Good morning, it's Monday and I have a question for those who voted for this administration. Did you vote to dismantle the Department of Education? I'm sure you wanted changes, but dismantling a department that helps our children by passing it to the states, especially states without income taxes, will hurt our children. They want to take away abortion, but they don't offer much support once a baby is born. Now, they want to take away educational support too. What is the plan here? I'm curious to know the thought process. If you believe it's a good plan, then so be it. Have a great day.

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.

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.

People are panicking about Trump's plan to kill the Department of Education. The DOE aims to boost student achievement and ensure equal access, but despite trillions spent, our global competitiveness has declined in reading and math. While the DOE has had some positive effects on the black white achievement gap, the gains have been modest relative to the money spent and time passed. If the DOE disappears, the Department of Justice would handle civil rights, the Treasury would handle funds, and states would determine education strategy, potentially redistributing funds to families via school choice. While risks exist, like some states deprioritizing equality, local voting can influence this. Free lunch programs, special education, and student loans aren't disappearing, they will be handled by other departments. Dismantling the DOE is a step in the right direction, but a clear vision for improving education is still needed.

Maine's education commissioner is allegedly encouraging schools to disregard President Trump's executive order regarding men in women's sports, advising them to adhere to the Maine Human Rights Act and local nondiscrimination policies. According to State Representative Laura Libby, the commissioner previously de-prioritized academic learning in favor of social emotional learning and DEI. Libby claims these policies reflect a "woke agenda" misaligned with Mainers' priorities, resulting in the lowest test scores in 30 years. She says parents are displeased that their children's education is being replaced with an agenda. Trump has threatened to withdraw significant funding from Maine, which Libby says would dramatically affect the state, especially since the education budget has already increased by 65% in the last six years.

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.

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.

Linda McMahon's nomination for Education Secretary aims to improve the U.S. education system, which ranks last globally despite high spending per pupil. The goal is to empower states to manage their own schools and promote school choice. By decentralizing education, states like Iowa and Indiana, which are well-managed, could achieve better results comparable to top-performing countries like Denmark and Sweden. The proposal includes breaking down large districts into smaller, more manageable units to enhance efficiency. The current system is costly and ineffective, and with these changes, the U.S. could significantly improve its educational standing.

The speaker discusses the centralization of education globally, highlighting the push for uniform standards and indoctrination of children into a one-world system. They emphasize the significance of this issue, pointing out the contrast between traditional American values and the UN's approach to human rights. The speaker believes that this education agenda will have long-lasting effects, surpassing other current geopolitical tensions.

Democrats created a scene at the Department of Education. Their behavior was disrespectful, especially towards the security guard who was simply doing his job. They acted entitled, ignoring proper channels for meetings with the executive branch. This incident highlights the Democrats' flawed priorities. Declining test scores, especially in Democrat-controlled areas, demonstrate a failure of the Department of Education since its inception. The involvement of the teacher's union chairman further underscores this failure. This low-budget attempt at insurrection is pathetic; if this is their best effort for the next four years, we're in good shape.

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.

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 speaker discusses being targeted for their knowledge and potential role in a second Trump administration. They suggest shutting down the Department of Education and reforming intelligence agencies like the FBI and CIA. They highlight the need to address deep state elements within the government. The speaker emphasizes the need for significant government reform to combat embedded bureaucratic influences.

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.

Elon Musk and education expert Corey Gilangelis are here, along with a board member from a neighboring district, to address the ongoing issues in our school district. The situation has been deteriorating for decades, particularly at Edgemont Elementary, and little has been done to improve it. Despite repeated concerns raised over the years, the board's actions resemble chaos. Attempts to silence students and limit discussions are unacceptable; the First Amendment guarantees their right to speak out. It's crucial to address these issues seriously before the situation worsens further.

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.

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.
