Trump Pledges Massive Public Ed Reforms: ‘Let The States Run The Schools’

Former President Donald Trump has a plan for schools that is going to drive Democrats and the powerful Teacher’s Union insane.

The former president spoke to “Fox & Friends” on Friday when her said he wants to do away with the Department of Education and have the states take over schooling.

During the interview he was asked questions via video from “Fox & Friends” viewers nationwide and one of them was about school choice.

“I have high-functioning autism, but my autism means I am only allowed to go to public schools that teach things that promote things against my values and faith. This makes life hard and confusing,” the questioner, a student, said. “When you become president, what can you and JD Vance do to help other students like me to have a choice of schools?”

“Well, thank you very much. It’s all about school choice,” the former president said. “You know, that’s one of the biggest things on my platform. It’s about school choice, and we’re also going to get it out of Washington.”

The former president lamented the fact that the United States spends more than most nations per pupil but the results are, in his opinion, not meeting the standard they should for the cost.

He said his administration would “let the states run the schools.”

“You give the schools to Iowa, they’re going to be another Norway. It’s going to be great,” the former president said. “You give them to so many different states, Indiana, they’re dying to do it. They can do it for less than half [the funding], and you will have those states competing with the best countries.”

He then quipped that his goal for the Department of Education is to “have one person working there, maybe with a secretary.”

“Because we want to make sure they’re teaching English, right? And let’s say reading, writing, and arithmetic, not transgender[ism],” Trump added.
