New more concise, simplified format. This blog was created as a public service. It is a Cliff’s Notes version of the actual 900 pages of text found in PROJECT 2025. It is not a commentary. Most importantly - It DOES NOT reflect my opinion in any way

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

[KEY ELEMENT - as the federal government administers education programs for District of Columbia, Department of Defense facilities and Native Americans, DOE will basically mandate many of the changes and then encourage states to adopt them]

1.    Limit federal involvement and eliminate DOE 

2.    education programs funds block-granted to states without strings, 

3.    student loans/grants through private sector 

4.    many institutions of higher education that are hostile to free expression, open academic inquiry, and American exceptionalism 

5.    Rather than college, focus far more on bolstering the workforce skills of Americans who have no interest in pursuing a four-year academic degree 

6.    Redirect education funding for military, DC residents and Native Americans 

7.    Borrowers of federal funds should repay them 

8.    Enforcement of civil rights should be based on a proper understanding of those laws, rejecting gender ideology and critical race theory. 

9.    Move office of civil rights to DOJ 

10. Review student meal and income-driven student loan programs

11. Rescind laws against and bolster charter schools

12. Stop collecting data on “nonbinary” students for sports

13. Rescind attempts to undercut Florida’s University Flexible Accreditation program

14. Title IX – redefine sex as biological at birth, strengthen protections of faith-based institutions

15. Facilitating social gender transition without parental consent increases the likelihood that children will seek hormone treatments, such as puberty blockers, which are experimental medical interventions

16. Stop federal intervention in school discipline policies.

17. Eliminate negotiated rulemaking procedures

18. no conclusive evidence that more taxpayer spending on schools improves student outcomes

19.  Rescind charter of National Education Association and determine how much taxpayer money has been used for radical causes favoring the Democratic party.

20. no teacher or student in Washington, D.C., public schools, Bureau of Indian Education schools, or Department of Defense schools should be compelled to believe, profess, or adhere to any idea, but especially ideas that violate state and federal civil rights laws.
