Former President Donald Trump had much to say during his speech at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s “Road to Majority 2022” conference in Nashville, Tennessee, on Friday. Particularly interesting were Trump’s remarks criticizing public schools and their efforts to push K-12 students towards leftist ideas about race, gender and sexuality. At a time when school districts are actively indoctrinating students and even encouraging many to transition to another gender, Trump’s words are even more necessary.
He blasted the inclusion of Critical Race Theory (CRT), in school curriculum. He vowed that Republicans would work to ban these “racist theories” and punish those attempting to inculcate young students with these teachings. “Under a Republican Congress, we will ban critical race theory, once and for all, under the next Republican president,” he said. “Any institution that seeks to implement these racist theories should be charged with a violation of federal civil rights law.”
Trump then took aim at school districts influencing young children to embrace so-called progressive ideas on gender identity and sexuality, and insisted that it is “time to finally and completely smash the radical left’s corrupt education cartel.”
After arguing that the nation is “beyond the point of incremental reform,” Trump pointed out that American children are “captives to unhinged Marxist educators who are pushing inappropriate sexual, racial, and political material on our children from the youngest possible age.”
Trump continued:
“The current education system is so upside down that school prayer is banned, but drag shows are absolutely allowed … You can’t teach the Bible, but you can teach children that men get pregnant and that kindergarteners are allowed to pick their own gender … You would not trust these people to babysit your children for 30 minutes, and we should not let them educate millions of American students six hours a day, year after year.
When it comes to the teaching methods of teachers to older and smaller children, the former president was spot on. Over the past two years, story after story has emerged revealing how districts are inculcating students with “woke” ideology without their parents knowing or consenting. Even putting together each story, I created a spreadsheet to track Critical Race Theory and the gender/sexuality that is being taught in K-12 schools.
There were also situations where districts had imposed policies that prevented teachers from telling parents about children’s gender confusions. In many cases, teachers and school counselors are encouraging minors to transition behind their parents’ backs.
People didn’t realize it was possible. This is one of the main reasons this initiative has been so effective. It wasn’t until COVID-19 when kids started attending classes online, which led to more parents finding out what their kids were learning. There has been widespread opposition. It isn’t enough. It is important that more Americans are aware of the problems in America’s public schools. Trump again properly identified the problem when he pointed out that “the public school system has become an arm of the radical Democrat Party” that is “trying to begin the recruitment process by the age of five and younger.”
Parents who are concerned will not take action. The far right will achieve exactly what they want.
