President Donald Trump is expected to sign several executive actions Wednesday that fulfill promises he made on the campaign trail, including on school choice, ending funding for schools that support critical race theory and combating antisemitism, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
In the week and a half since he’s been in office, Trump has signed a flurry of executive actions as he’s sought to remake the federal government and enact his sweeping “America First” agenda, with a particular target on so-called diversity, equity and inclusion programs. “He also will sign executive orders addressing school choice, ending funding for public schools that support critical race theory and other divisive measures in their curriculums.
The Trump administration’s move to allow federal tax dollars to be directed to school choice could supercharge the movement. But public school advocates and public school teachers’ unions have long been against redirecting taxpayer dollars from public schools to private schools, saying it would harm poorer public schools.
