Trump's Education Overhaul: Radical Changes Ahead

Donald Trump plans to overhaul the U.S. higher education system by promoting conservative values and "American tradition" while targeting what he calls "radical Marxist control." His proposals include deporting foreign students involved in pro-Palestinian protests, banning transgender students from college sports, and establishing an "American Academy" to counter "Woke" agendas. Trump also aims to reform university funding and accreditation, emphasizing American history and workforce preparation, while considering the closure of the Department of Education to transfer power to states.

Exploring the Delicious World of Donuts in America.

National Donut Day is celebrated every 2 June in the US, with millions of Americans eating their way through over 10 billion donuts made annually. The tradition dates back to World War One, when the Salvation Army's Donut Lassies baked sweet treats for soldiers on the front lines. The first-ever National Donut Day was celebrated in Chicago in 1938 as a tribute to the Donut Lassies. The donut, which arrived in America under the Dutch name olykoeks, took on its current name in the mid-19th century. Popular donut chains such as Krispy Kreme, Dunkin and Duck Donuts will offer free items to patrons across the US on National Donut Day.
