The article discusses David Graham's insights on the Trump administration's agenda as predicted by Project 2025's report. A key focus is the goal of prioritizing families in America through education reform, particularly advocating for a national voucher system that would allow parents to choose schools—both private and religious—free from strict federal control. This approach reflects broader themes of parents' rights and reducing government oversight. The discussion emphasizes how the administration plans to influence educational structures in favor of traditional family values and could have significant implications for equity in education.
Education is the place that I see it most. The framers of Project 2025 subscribe to this idea laid out by Milton Friedman, which is that the government should pay for education, but it shouldn't necessarily provide that education.
What this means is vouchers as a national system for private schools, for religious schools, whatever that may be. To make that happen, they want to reduce the strings that the federal government has on states.
