During a rally in Wisconsin, Donald Trump outlined his vision for the future of the country’s education system, including a bold proposal to eliminate the federal Department of Education and return control to the states. Speaking to an enthusiastic crowd, Trump emphasized his belief that local leaders should have the authority to make decisions about education, rather than the federal government.
*“The goal is to indoctrinate America’s youth with all sorts of things that you don’t want to have our youth hearing. Ultimately, we’ll live. And you know what we’re doing here. I’ve stayed all the time.”* Trump said, as he criticized what he described as harmful influences being pushed on young people.
As part of his solution, Trump proposed shifting the power over education back to individual states, allowing them to decide what is taught in their schools. *“We will ultimately eliminate the federal Department of Education and send education back to Wisconsin and back to the states,”* Trump declared, adding that this would give local leaders more control over the curriculum.
He also mentioned Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, expressing confidence in his ability to handle the state’s education if his plan were to be implemented. *“We’ll send it back to the states so that Ron Johnson can run it, okay? We’ll send it back here.”*
Trump didn’t stop there, also name-dropping Congressman Tom Tiffany, praising his speech and signaling his involvement in the proposed education changes. *“Mr. Tiffany will get our congressman Tiffany involved. He made a good speech too.”*
Trump’s rally speech made it clear that he envisions a dramatic overhaul of the U.S. education system, placing more responsibility in the hands of state leaders rather than federal oversight. His comments about eliminating the Department of Education drew loud cheers from the Wisconsin crowd, underscoring the strong support for his ideas on local control and education reform.
