...and will use federal Education Department funding as leverage to control public school curricula in liberal cities that teach African American or Native American studies.

Schools that teach that slaves helped build Washington D.C. will get no federal funding.

Schools that teach about the Trail of Tears will get no federal funding.

So schools that teach American history will get no federal funding?

Well, that's an interesting closing pitch.

The plan, shared in advance with POLITICO, calls for cutting federal funding for any school or program that includes “critical race theory, gender ideology, or other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content onto our children.” It also calls for opening “civil rights investigations into any school district that has engaged in race-based discrimination,” particularly against Asian American students, and promises to “keep men out of women’s sports.”

Trump also calls for making significant cuts to administrative personnel and the end of teacher tenure and the election of school principals.

“As the saying goes, personnel is policy and at the end of the day if we have pink-haired communists teaching our kids we have a major problem,” Trump said. “We’re at the end of the list on education and yet we spend the most, but we’re going to be tops in education no matter where you go anywhere in the world.”

Trump is calling for a certification program for teachers who “embrace patriotic values” and “funding preferences and favorable treatment” for states and school districts that follow his calls for abolishing teacher tenure.

Remember...Trump has come right out and said: "I love the poorly educated". Oh, he sure does. So much easier to manipulate and grift from.

He won't close it.

And besides, I hope they waste more money, and keep churning out a product that is well below par.

That means less qualifications, more government assistance, lower income tax payments and with any luck - a bit more crime here and there.

It's all happening.....
