Trump is not in favor of racial justice projects that highlight America’s greatest sins and is working hard to undo and stop schools from teaching the ugly side to America’s history, such as slavery, racism and oppression.
The president plans to withhold funding from schools in California or any other state that plans to educate students on the The 1619 Project, a long form on-going project that takes a deep dive into slavery and how it still impacts America today. Though it is unclear if he actually has the power to do this.
Trump also went after Democrats for alleged violence and claimed, “The left-wing rioting and mayhem are the direct result of decades of left-wing indoctrination in our schools,” American parents are not going to accept indoctrination in our schools, cancel culture at work, or the repression of traditional faith, culture, and values in the public square, not anymore.”
