Trump signs an executive decree to promote “patriotic education” in schools

President Trump signed several decrees on Wednesday aimed at reshaping US schools, including restricting the way racism is taught in classrooms, slowing anti -Semitism and authorizing taxpayers to finance private schools.

Orders are designed to advance the Trump administration’s objective of shaking the country’s education system, which Mr. Trump has long in turn to favor left ideologies.

One of the orders, entitled “Ending Radical Endoctrimina in K-12 Schooling”, sought to retain the financing of all schools that teach that the United States is “fundamentally racist, sexist or otherwise discriminatory”. He ordered agencies to produce an “endoctrination strategy” which would focus on the uprooting of instructions on transgender problems, “white privilege” or “unconscious biases” in schools and “priority to federal resources , in accordance with the applicable law, to promote patriotic education. “”

Another has laid the foundations to expel international students accused of “anti -Semitic harassment and violence” in relation to the protests of the war in Gaza, part of a broader repression of what the administration judged anti -Semitic discourse.

And a third agency has directed to search for discretionary subsidies and programs that could be reused for use by states to finance good programs. Such programs distribute public funds to families to pay for the education of children at home or in private and religious schools.

On Wednesday, orders sparked the Department of Education to apply sanctions against schools which move away from themes of “patriotic education” which, according to Mr. Trump, should be the underlying of history courses American. And they seemed designed to send schools blurring to check the course catalogs for any content that could invite the government to cancel federal funds.
