Toward Trump’s Theocracy

The President uses education policy to advance a chilling agenda

Peter Greene takes a look at President Trump’s early executive orders on education and finds that they may be a part of a larger push toward theocracy:

In the end, this eo really only settles one thing– would Trump throw his weight behind the Libertarian dream of smaller government, or behind the theocrat’s dream of a nation forced to follow their preferred values. In education, it looks like the theocrats win this round.

America loses. No matter how imperfectly, this eo will drop a chilling blanket over schools and empower some awful people to be extra awful in their local district. In states that already have installed repressive China-style cultural revolutions, the impact will be minimal. But in other states, this, like the bill to implement school vouchers everywhere, means that state rights be damned–they get the policies they never asked for.
