President Trump's education approach centers on aligning school curricula with his political views, requiring compliance under threat of funding loss. His administration has initiated investigations against K-12 and higher education institutions for alleged violations of Title IX and the Civil Rights Act. This includes targeting schools for policies accommodating transgender students and opposing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives. The scale of these actions is unprecedented, reflecting a significant departure from traditional civil rights enforcement in education according to experts.
These types of gigantic threats are really quite new... I think it's well beyond anything in the words or the intention of a statute.
Trump's administration has sent letters to school districts accusing them of violating Title IX through policies intended to accommodate transgender students.
Funding is on the line across the board, and while both Democratic and Republican administrations have launched civil rights investigations into the country's schools, Trump's actions are at a much larger scale.
Since taking office, Trump has been clear that he wants schools to align their political ideologies with his own.
