Trump wants to end 'wokeness' in education. He has vowed to use federal money as leverage
President-elect Donald Trump has a vision for education that revolves around a single goal: to rid America’s schools of perceived “wokeness” and “left-wing indoctrination.”
Summary
Donald Trump’s education agenda centers on eliminating “wokeness” and “left-wing indoctrination” in schools.
His plans include banning lessons on gender identity and structural racism, abolishing diversity offices, and barring transgender athletes in girls’ sports.
He aims to cut federal funding for schools defying his policies and eliminate the U.S. Education Department. Trump also proposes “patriotic education,” a nationwide ban on transgender athletes in women’s sports, and new teacher credentialing standards.
Critics argue these policies are politically driven, undermine education, and lack evidence. Many initiatives would face legal and procedural hurdles.

I love the use of these vague terms of “wokeness” and “left-wing indoctrination” which can change meaning any time to fit whatever narrative is trying to be pushed 😑
Teacher: "Slavery was bad."
Republicans: "We need to end this indoctrination of our children."
This isn't an exaggeration, this literally has been happening already before the GOP controlled the entire federal government.
Anything that makes "white kids" uncomfortable or "guilty" is being banned which 100% includes the mention of slavery.
Or maybe parents shouldn't tie their identity to traitorous states that murdered Americans so rich people could own black people.
Someone used the same tactic in the 30s in Germany
