President Trump in a series of administrative orders demonstrated that he had a bold appetite to remodel public education in the image of the “anti -” populist's political movement.
However, in the country that is unique in the country for the super local control of the school, it is possible to encounter legal, logistics, and financial issues to test the limitations of federal authority in the K-12 education. I have sex.
On Wednesday evening, Trump signed two administrative orders. One was a 2,400 word giant, mainly focused on race, gender, and American history. The school threatens the federal government's funding, and the school recognizes and teaches the concepts of transgender identity, structural racism, “white privileges”, and “unconscious prejudice”. I'm trying to hinder what I do.
In addition, this instruction promotes the “patriotic” education that describes the establishment of the United States as “unification, exciting, and speaking”, and the United States has “grown brilliantly in a noble principle through its history.” I explain that.
The second order is the scope of the federal government agency, looking for a way to expand access to private school vouchers.
Both orders reflect energy conservative laws in the state. In the past five years, the number of children using taxpayers for private education or home schooling costs has doubled to 1 million. More than 20 states restrict how race, gender, and American history are discussed at school. The state and the Board of Education prohibit thousands of books.
It is not clear how the new federal order will have the effects of a shift where the shift is not yet ongoing. The state and the region provide 90 % of the funds for public education and have the only power to set curriculum, test, educational method, and school selection policies.
Orders can be nervous about the limits of the federal government in education from kindergarten to high school. This is the role that Mr. Trump should reduce.
Derel Bradford, a 50 -can, president of the non -party group that supports the choice of private schools, said that the paradox was “intersigned.” He praised the voucher's presidential order and together, and said that the two orders showed a big moment in the previous discussion about what value the national school should give. Ta.
“You may like it, but we don't have a value neutral school,” he said.
Nevertheless, there are many legal questions about the government's ability to limit the federal funds to put pressure on schools.
The major funding source to support public schools known as the title I is in the official state set by Congress, and the president has little power to limit the flow.
“The important part of the strategy is to set priorities through the Presidential order and respond to Congress or Supreme Court. It should be in the check and balance system,” said Bradford.
The executive department manages small -scale transsexual transhe, but it may not be enough to persuade to change to the school district.
In Los Angeles, Alberto Calvario, the second largest school district in the country, said that his system did not change the way of gender identity, regardless of who won the presidential election last fall.
Transgender students are allowed to play in the sports team and use a bathroom that matches gender identity.
After Trump was revealed that Trump was trying to reduce funds, “Our academic standards are in line with all states and federal orders. We continue to commit a safe and maintained learning environment for all students.
One of Trump's major agenda restrictions is that, despite the official federal, state, and district policies, individual teachers have been taught and important statements.
Even in the state -of -conservative regions operated by the Republican Party, efforts to control the curriculum were sometimes scattered.
For example, in Oklahoma, some conservative educators oppose efforts to insert the Bible into the curriculum, as Ryan Waltars, the Director Ryan Walters, is the Allies of Trump.
Nationwide, teachers' surveys indicate that the majority did not change the classroom materials or methods according to conservative laws. Some educators control how the subject, such as racism, talks about the controversy about the pros and cons of a restricted curriculum policy, to control the subject of racism. He reports that he can subtly resist the attempt to do it.
Florida is a tremendous case in many ways and a useful model of the Trump administration.
So, Governor Ron Desantis has created a powerful incentive to emphasize the founder's Christian beliefs and to accept priority, such as restricting discussions on gender and racism.
Teachers can get a $ 3,000 bonus to take training courses on new citizen learning standards. If the student has a low performance in the standardized test of the subject, his evaluation is suffering.
Desantis restrictions were wide and vague between races and gender. The school, which was accused of being broken, could be sued for economic damages, and was threatened to lose a specialized license.
As a result, many schools and educators have widely interpreted laws. The Desantis administration claimed that they sometimes interpreted them more widely than they intended. The ban on books, including sexual content, has announced that one district is drawn from the curriculum from the curriculum.
Prohibiting the recognition of transgender identity, the school nickname permit led to a school that slipped to parents.
Public school educators are often afraid of having trouble with high -level authorities. Trump's presidential order can lead to a self -censored scale.
Adam Rarts, an educational historian of the University of Bingamton, has lost many teachers who have been accused of communist sympathy, one of the potential before the historical case of Mr. Trump's presidential order. He said that he was scared of the red in the mid -20th century he was taken to court.
“In my opinion, this presidential order is an explosion of steam,” he said.
However, he pointed out that political attempts to prohibit ideas from classrooms were rarely successful.
