On Wednesday, leading Republican presidential candidate and 45th President Donald Trump unveiled a new policy platform as a part of 'Agenda 47' that outlined ten principles "for great schools leading to great jobs."
"The United States spends more money on education than any other country in the world and yet we get the worst outcomes. We are at the bottom of every list. In total American society pours more than a trillion dollars a year into public education systems," Trump said. "But instead of being at the top of the list, we are literally right smack, guess what, at the bottom."
"Rather than indoctrinating young people with inappropriate racial, sexual, and political material, which is what we are doing now, our schools must be totally refocused to prepare our children to succeed in the world of work, of life, and the world to keep our country strong so they can grow up to be happy, prosperous, and independent citizens," the leading Republican candidate explained. "We owe our children great schools that lead to great jobs and lead to an even greater country than we are living in right now."
"Right now we are living in a failing nation because of Joe Biden and these people running it," the 45th president explained. "They're Marxists, they're communists. What they are doing to our country is incredible but we will take care of that for our children. Here are ten key ideas that will power our movement for great schools."
President Trump then outlined the ten policy priorities that he would pursue upon entering the White Hosue in 2025 to enhance American education:
- "First, we will respect the right of parents to control the education of their children.
- Second, we will empower parents and local school boards who hire and award great principals and teachers and also fire the poor ones. The ones whose performance is unsatisfactory. Like on the apprentice, 'You're fired!'
- Third, we will ensure that our classrooms are focused not on political indoctrination but on teaching the knowledge and skills needed to succeed. Reading, writing, math, science, arithmetic, and other truly useful subjects.
- Fourth, we will teach students to love their country, not to hate their country like they are taught right now.
- Fifth, we will support bringing back prayer to our schools.
- Sixth, we will achieve schools that are safe, secure, and drug-free with immediate expulsion of any student who harms a teacher or another student.
- Seventh, we will give all parents the right to choose another school for their children if they want. It's called school choice.
- Eighth, we will ensure students have access to project-based learning experiences inside the classroom to help train them for meaningful work outside the classroom.
- Ninth, we will strive to give all students access to internships and work experiences that can set them on their path to their first job. They are going to be very, very successful. I want them to be more successful than Trump.
- Ten, we will ensure that all schools provide excellent jobs and career counseling so that high school and college students can get a headstart on their jobs and careers best suited to their God-given talents."
"This is how we will ensure a great education for every American child and one other thing that I will be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington, D.C., and sending all education and education work and needs back to the states," Trump added. "We want them to run the education of our children because they will do a much better job of it. You can't do worse."
"We spend more money per pupil, by three times, than any other nation and yet we are absolutely at the bottom. We are one of the worst. We are going to end education coming out of Washington, D.C. We are going to close it up, all those buildings all over the place. You have people who, in many cases, hate our children. We are going to send it all back to the states," President Trump said in conclusion.
