REJECT the Trump Education Department’s attempt to force maga propaganda into our public schools. This week, Secretary Linda McMahon announced that $137 million in federal education funds, originally designated to support minority students and teacher training, will instead be diverted to develop a “civics” curriculum designed by Trump’s political allies, including PragerU, Hillsdale College, and Turning Point USA. These organizations have a clear record of producing revisionist content that whitewashes slavery, denies systemic racism, and distorts American history to fit a far-right agenda. Trump’s allies have even proposed model laws that require the glorification of the Founding Fathers while banning the teaching of systemic racism or gender identity. This is indoctrination. Our schools should teach students to think critically, not to repeat propaganda lines. IMMEDIATELY BLOCK this dangerous curriculum in our state. Public schools must remain places of truth, inclusivity, and freedom, not tools for your authoritarian whitewashing.
