General Discussion

I looked up education plans on Agenda 47 and it really is no different from Project 2025, hiding nothing. All we need to present is the official RNC platform and this agenda, which alarmed me as an educator. I presented the the education plan summary from Forbes in a FB discussion to counter people who just quickly look for some Faux or NY Post type confirmation bias that Project 2025 has nothing to do with Trump. I am planning to print all kinds of these things on regular paper and pass them out individually along with the stack of paper NYS registration forms I am distributing:

Education: Trump’s proposals for K-12 schools include having parents elect school principals, cutting federal funding to any school teaching “critical race theory,” ending teacher tenure, creating a new credentialing body to only certify teachers “who embrace patriotic values,” encouraging prayer in schools, making it easier to kick “out-of-control troublemakers” out of school, supporting school districts that allow teachers to carry concealed firearms and pushing “school choice” policies.

Universities: Trump has proposed getting rid of existing accreditors for colleges and universities and creating new ones who impose his party’s values on institutions, along with levying significant fines on colleges and universities that he believes “discriminate” against students—with a plan to use those fines to create a free online “American Academy” that “cover[s] the full spectrum of human knowledge and skills.”
