Trump won the presidency. What does that mean for education?

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s return to the presidency could set the stage for sweeping changes in U.S. education policy.

Throughout his campaign, Trump has vowed to “save American education,” with a focus on parental rights and universal school choice — offering a sharp contrast to the Biden administration’s education record.

With Trump’s White House victory cemented, here’s a look at where he stands on education:

Getting rid of U.S. Education Department

Perhaps Trump’s most far-reaching plan for education includes his vow to close down the U.S. Department of Education.

Trump loves the poorly educated.

1. This is appalling.

I don’t understand this country.

2. The poorly educated come cheaper.

Between Trump and Governor Abbott (R-TX) charter schools will flourish and public schools will suffer. Education will have a two class system: the elites first and the working class second. I can only assume healthcare will follow suit.

3. That Trump won the presidency

is proof that the US 'education' system is a massive failure.

5. That's what the Heritage-Federalist-cryptotechbros want you to think. It is NOT a failure. It IS chronically underfunded

Don't get me started.

4. In practical terms it means that states won' t get federal $$ but will continue to fund public education on their own.

Federal money for public education mostly depends on the IDEA funding for students with disabilities across the country, and that those funds will likely have to be made up by state funds, if at all. It could hurt disabled students and education professionals who work with disabled children, or it might not affect them at all. It depends on the states' educational spending/funding priorities.

Public education will continue as the U.S. constitution barely laid out.

But states that value public schools, teacher certification and teaching professionals will survive.
