Trump Calls For 'Certifying' Patriotic Teachers, Election Of Principals By
School Parents
He also demands funds be slashed for schools teaching “critical race theory,
gender ideology or other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content.”
Jan 28, 2023
Former President Donald Trump
<https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump> launched a fired-up
culture war directly at American classrooms Thursday, calling in a video for
certification of “patriotic teachers,” the firing of “radicals” and the
“direct election” of school principals by students’ parents.
The declared Republican candidate for president also demanded that funds be
slashed for any school teaching “critical race theory, gender ideology or
other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content,” apparently as
defined by him.
Trump called for the creation of a “new credentialing body” that would
“certify teachers who embrace patriotic values” while “radicals, zealots and
Marxists” (and “pink-haired communists”) would be fired. (Trump has hailed
the insurrectionists of Jan. 6, 2021, as “great patriots

He also called for investigations of school districts that have engaged in
race-based discrimination, including against Asian American students.
Ironically, Trump himself has repeatedly fired anti-Asian slurs

at Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao

his former secretary of transportation.
The video, posted on Twitter, predictably triggered an uproar on the social
media platform.
Several posters referred to the so-called Trump University (which was never
certified as any kind of school) that promised to teach adult students how to
be successful businesspeople. Trump ended up paying $25 million to settle
claims

that students were swindled by the operation.
