Putting Children First

President Trump held an educational roundtable at the White House today to promote the initiatives and policies in his executive order on school choice.

As the Under Secretary of Education in the Reagan Administration, empowering parents to make the best educational choices for their children is a big priority for me and American Values. School choice legislation advanced this week in Tennessee and Texas, so the issue has momentum, and it couldn’t come at a better time.

A new report this week found that our children continue to wallow in educational failure. Too many children are familiar with all the latest LGBTQ books, know all the signs that they are trapped in the wrong body, and they may “know” our Founding Fathers were evil slavers.

But they can’t add. They can’t read. And they don’t know American history. Yet, we’re spending more money than ever.

Our children are still suffering from terrible learning loss caused by Anthony Fauci, Joe Biden, and the radical teachers’ unions who shut our schools down. Our kids lost two years of education, and they haven’t recovered.

In my view, what Fauci allowed to happen and encouraged is criminal, which is probably why Biden pardoned him for any past crimes.

On a related note, President Trump took action this week to combat antisemitism. He signed an executive order laying the groundwork to begin deporting “alien students and [university] staff” who engage in antisemitic acts and/or promote terrorist organizations like Hamas.
