Trump to sign executive orders on education
President Donald Trump is expected to sign two executive orders Wednesday on education.
One of the orders seeks to cut federal funding to K-12 schools that teach "radical gender ideology and critical race theory," according to a fact sheet obtained by ABC News.
The order also directs the attorney general to pursue actions against school officials and teachers who "sexually exploit minors or practice medicine without a license through 'social transition' practices," it states.
"American education should focus on cultivating patriotic citizens ready for the workforce, not political activists," the fact sheet states.
In the second order, Trump is seeking to expand "educational freedom" and allow for more school choice options.
The order directs the secretary of defense to submit a plan for how military families can use defense funds to send their children to the school of their choice, and requires HHS to provide guidance on "how states receiving block grants for children and families can use those funds to support educational alternatives, including private and faith-based options."
