How Trump Can Teach the Department of Education a Lesson

He should pick a secretary with the boldness to back school choice and take on woke indoctrination

By Jason L. Riley. Excerpt:

"Two-thirds of American children are unable to read with proficiency, yet education bureaucrats are obsessed with trans rights, DEI initiatives and ensuring that elementary-school libraries are stocked with pornographic texts. 

People who have a problem with someone who swam on the boys team last year swimming on the girls team this year are attacked as bigots. Students are taught that math is racist, that standardized tests are biased, that “objectivity” and “hard work” are traits of white supremacy. Curricula based on the widely debunked New York Times “1619 Project,” which claims that the American Revolution was launched not to rebel against British rule but to preserve slavery, is being taught in elementary and high schools across the country. Instead of being instructed in basic skills, young and impressionable minds are being polluted with ideological propaganda masquerading as scholarship."
