President-elect Donald Trump's education policies include abolishing the Department of Education, cutting federal funding for schools promoting critical race theory, and barring transgender girls from participating in girls' sports. He plans to implement a "Parental Bill of Rights," allow parents to elect school principals, and support concealed carry for teachers.
