Since January, significant changes in education policy under the Trump administration have included proposals to dismantle the Department of Education and introduce anti-transgender policies. The administration has opened over 111 investigations into colleges and universities, focusing on diversity and inclusion efforts, transgender athletes, and pro-Palestine protests. Notable actions include executive orders recognizing only two sexes, rescinding immigration policies affecting schools, and freezing federal grants, ultimately aiming to reduce the federal role in education and increase charter school funding.
Following his inauguration, Trump signs executive order only recognizing two sexes: Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government. Trump also orders a sweeping dismantling of the federal government's diversity and inclusion program: Ending radical and wasteful government DEI programs and preferencing.
Trump rescinds a 2011 policy preventing federal immigration agencies from making arrests at schools and other locations like churches and health care facilities.
A memo from the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) announces a freeze on trillions of dollars in spending for federal grants will go into effect at 5 p.m. Tuesday, January 28, impacting everything from money for education and low-income housing subsidies to environmental research and wildfire recovery.
The Trump administration has sought to reduce the federal role in education, while boosting funding for charter schools.
