• Donald Trump and the Assault on American K-12 Education

  • The Trump Administration tried to block $6.8 billion in school funding, including money for after-school programs, English learners, and teacher support — even though Congress had already approved it.

  • States pushed back and sued, including North Carolina, and the funding was eventually released — but only after weeks of uncertainty and with new political conditions attached.

  • Trump has signed executive orders targeting what schools can teach and how they operate, using federal money to pressure schools on curriculum, discipline, and LGBTQ+ issues.

  ✅ Action Item for a Young Democrat:

  • Support public schools — stay informed and speak up when politicians try to use school funding to push political agendas instead of helping students learn.
