Trump promises to ‘support bringing back prayer’ to schools
President-elect Donald Trump pledged to “support bringing back prayer” to schools as part of a 10-point plan to reform America’s educational system. In a video released in September, Trump enumerated this goal among nine others designed to increase the quality of education in the U.S. and better prepare students to “succeed in the world of work and in life.” The first goals of his plan, listed on his campaign website as part of his Agenda47, include restoring parental rights in education, supporting the parental election of principals and school boards’ ability to fire poor principals and teachers, and focus on the essentials of education instead of “political indoctrination” such as critical race theory (CRT).

Trump’s Promise to Shutter Dept of Education Could End Woke Agenda in Schools
“When President-elect Donald Trump was in the midst of campaigning, he promised numerous times to shut down the Department of Education and return education to the states.
As he said at one campaign rally back in September:
‘We will drain the government education swamp and stop the abuse of your taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America’s youth with all sorts of things that you don’t want to have our youth hearing.’
But his agenda for education goes far beyond this. And, if accomplished, it would begin to release schools from the stranglehold of woke ideologies, end the sexualization and confusion children, bring about more accountability, safeguard parents’ rights, and stop the assault on girls sports, safety and privacy.”

Florida removed over 4,500 LGBT, sexually explicit books from schools last year: report
A left-wing “free speech” group once again labeled Florida the top state in the nation for “book banning” in a report the mainstream media is highlighting in hopes that it will reflect badly on Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis but which actually illustrates the Sunshine State’s progress in removing age-inappropriate material from public schools. The Tallahassee Democrat reported that, according to PEN America, more than 4,500 total books (and 4,231 individual titles) were removed from Florida public schools in the 2023-24 school year, sharply up from 1,406 the year before. That accounts for almost half of the 10,000 total removals nationwide. Thirty-nine percent of the books included “LGBTQ” characters and 57% had “sex or sex-related content,” according to the report.
