During remarks about education policy at the Adler Theatre in Davenport, Iowa on Monday, former President and 2024 candidate Donald Trump pledged to cut all federal funding to schools promoting CRT, gender ideology, and any other material deemed unfit for young children to learn.
“I will immediately sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school that’s pushing Critical Race Theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children. They’re children!” Trump said to a cheering crowd.
“I said the other day I will bring back parental rights into our school system,” Trump added. “As president, I’ll fight to expand that right to every single state in America.”
From Townhall:
According to a Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll released this month, the majority of Iowans support legislation restricting curriculum teaching about and sexual orientation gender identity ideology.
Other issues Trump spoke on included school choice and “breaking up” the U.S.Department of Education.
On the issue of COVID-19, Trump said that he “will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or mask mandate from kindergarten through college.” Many colleges across the country implemented vaccine and booster mandates for students to attend classes.
