Trump Pledges to Combat 'Wokeness' in Schools Using Federal Funds

Donald Trump plans to use federal funding as leverage to eliminate 'wokeness' from American education, targeting lessons on gender identity and structural racism, and abolishing diversity offices. He aims to cut funding for schools that defy his policies and proposes shutting down the U.S. Education Department. Critics argue his approach is politically motivated and could harm public education. Trump's platform includes promoting 'patriotic' education and potentially fining universities for diversity initiatives, though many of his goals would require congressional action or lengthy federal processes.
