Former President Trump recently unveiled his 10-point Agenda 47 education strategy, taking aim at the federal Department of Education and its wasteful spending. Trump made it clear that despite being the highest spender on education globally, the United States lags behind in terms of outcomes. As a fiscal conservative, he sees this as a prime opportunity to cut excessive government spending and make education more effective for American children.
In Trump’s eyes, our schools have become hotbeds of indoctrination, pumping young minds with inappropriate racial, sexual, and political material. He argues that the focus should shift towards preparing children for success in the workforce, as well as instilling love for their country and the restoration of prayer in schools.
Our dear former president, never one to shy away from hyperbole, also had some choice words about President Biden and his administration, calling them “Marxists” and “communists” who are leading our nation towards failure. These strong words underscore Trump’s commitment to dismantling the harmful ideologies he perceives as infiltrating our education system.
Under Trump’s education plan, parents would have more rights and power in their children’s education. He believes that empowering parents and school boards to fire underperforming educators and principals would ultimately lead to better outcomes for students. Furthermore, Trump advocates for a return to fundamental subjects such as reading, writing, math, and science, along with practical skills that prepare students for the workforce—a refreshing dose of common sense in today’s politically charged education environment.
It’s no surprise that Trump is a staunch advocate for school choice, allowing parents to select the best educational options for their children. Additionally, he supports project-based learning and internships, giving students real-world experience that can translate into successful careers. Trump’s ultimate goal is to ensure that every American child receives a great education, surpassing even the success he achieved himself.
To kickstart this comprehensive education plan, Trump plans to abolish the federal Department of Education and return control back to the states. As a conservative, he believes that states are better equipped to handle the education needs of their citizens with less bureaucratic interference. By doing so, Trump aims to streamline the system and put trust back into local communities, ultimately creating a more effective and efficient education system.
While some may dismiss Trump’s proposals as mere rhetoric, his boldness and fervor for improving education should be commended. It’s time to shake up the status quo and fix our failing education system. By focusing on parental empowerment, essential subjects, and practical skills, Trump’s plan offers a fresh perspective that seeks to put the students’ best interests first. As conservatives, we must support any effort to cut wasteful spending, empower parents, and ensure a brighter future for the next generation.
