I hope Trump puts teachers, administrators, school boards, professors on notice that: 1) your job is to teach, not indoctrinate, not share your sex life, your personal life with students, 2) test scores need to show LEGITIMATE improvement, 3) parents are to be respected in their decisions, 4) no vaccine mandates/mask mandates will be tolerated, 5) back to basics and ditch Common Core, 6) you will not inject politics into your teaching, 7) you will value differing opinions. If you can’t support the above, you must resign now. Infringement of the above will not be tolerated. The Federal government wil stop funding any schools who don’t follow the above. The Constitutional rights of all students and parents will be supported equally disrespecting e of age, sex, race, politics or religious beliefs. This includes teachers’ unions.
I agree with the above comments that the government should be entirely hands-off with respect to education funding and control (one goes with the other). But---nothing prevents the government from establishing educational standards for its own staff employment and military training. And rating the state high schools, colleges, and universities according to this standard. Maybe restore the practice of employment tests to see if applicants measure up. Once it turns out that a bachelor's degree in basket-weaving gives you a flunking grade on your application for a government position (e.g., accounting), there will be a Great Smelling of the Coffee.
