Trump SLASHES Education Department amid poor scores and LGBTQ+ agenda



Conservatives have been toying with the idea of abolishing the Department of Education for decades, but President Donald Trump is the one finally taking action.

“In a few moments, I will sign an executive order to begin eliminating the Federal Department of Education once and for all,” President Trump said in an address to the American people.

Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project, couldn’t be more thrilled with the president’s action.

“We’ve seen educational progress not just stall, it’s going backwards. Fifty percent of every dollar goes to administration costs. The Department of Education hasn’t helped us educate our children or, you know, get more people to the moon or expand America’s abilities,” Schilling tells Christopher Bedford on “Blaze News Tonight.”


“And only, by the way, a third of our kids can read at grade level, do math at grade level. It’s absolutely appalling,” he adds, noting that regardless of the facts, many Americans are unhappy with the president’s move.

“What a lot of Americans don’t understand is that when the Department of Education gives out money, every dollar has a string attached to it. You accept this dollar here, well, you have to start a new counseling program or an anti-bullying program or some type of after-school Satan club,” Schilling explains.

“The biggest losers in this executive order are the administrators, the superintendents, the school boards,” he continues, including those who have been instituting “new LGBTQ+ reading book programs.”

Not only that, but the Biden administration weaponized school boards against parents.

“If you’re a parent that shows up at a school board meeting under the Biden administration, you get investigated as a domestic terrorist for voicing your First Amendment rights about your own children, about your own children getting sexually assaulted in the bathroom where the school covers it up,” Schilling says.

“That is how bad the Department of Education got,” he continues, “to where the school boards were actually protecting the corrupt, protecting the abusers, and that’s one of the reasons why it’s so important to get rid of this thing and return power back to the parents and back to the states.”

Porn in schools “is a children’s rights issue.”



If you thought the woke indoctrination going on in schools couldn’t get any worse, well, you were wrong.

Just last week, an 11-year-old boy read an illustrated romance novel, called “Nick and Charlie,” in front of a school board. The book was pornographic, detailing a scene between two boys who steal wine from their parents and decide to sexually experiment with each other.

The boy said he saw the book propped up on a stand and went to check the book out so he could bring it home and show his dad. When he did, the librarian asked him if he wanted more and if he wanted the graphic novel version.

Disturbing doesn’t cover it. This is blatant LGBTQ+ indoctrination.

Not only is pornographic content in a school library, it's being promoted by the school and endorsed by the adult librarian. It’s nothing short of pedophilic.

Sara Gonzales calls it like it is. She says, “This is not a trans issue. This right here is a children’s rights issue.”

Gonzales goes on to say, “This is about protecting children from being sexually abused, exploited, and indoctrinated by adults. This is the most important thing going on in our country right now. You can talk all you want about Russia and Ukraine ... but if we can not agree that we have to protect children from being abused — that we will protect the innocence of children and stop exposing them to sex, to perversions, to irreversible hormones, chemical castration, chopping their [genitals] off, chopping their breasts off — nothing else matters.”

And she’s right. The country can come back from inflation, war, and bad policy — but it cannot come back from sexually mutilating and abusing the next generation.
