Summary
Donald Trump has proposed major changes to the U.S. education system, including eliminating the Department of Education to give states more control.
His Agenda47 plan also aims to restrict school content on topics like race, gender, and sexuality, dismantle diversity initiatives, and promote “patriotic values” through teacher certification and curriculum changes.
Trump supports universal school choice, allowing public funds for private education, and seeks to end teacher tenure, replacing it with merit-based pay.
For higher education, he proposes creating a free “American Academy” funded by taxing private universities.

We’re already getting four more years of the real thing.
