One order called “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling” seeks to limit teachings on race-related issues and gender identity, while establishing a commission to promote “patriotic education” that paints the United States in a positive light.
In addition to teaching changes, it also seeks to block school policies accommodating transgender students, such as by requiring teachers to use pronouns correlating with a students’ gender, and limiting locker room access by gender.
The order nonetheless demands federal agencies produce a report within 90 days on actions he could take, such as by conditioning federal funding, to force adherence to his agenda.
Initially referring to an approach that looks at US history through the lens of racism, the term has become an ill-defined catchall for race-related topics in education.
Another order Trump signed Wednesday -- part of a flurry of executive actions in his first days as president -- seeks to expand so-called school choice, in which students can receive public funding to attend non-public establishments. The approach is favored mostly by Republicans.
The document targets vandalism on campuses and discrimination against Jewish students that occurred during the months-long demonstrations.
With the federal government similarly limited in its control of university policies, the order takes the first steps in addressing the issue by requiring reports be drawn up on potential actions.
The move eyes possible deportations of students who broke the law during protests.
Trump has shaken up America in his first 10 days in office, signing executive orders almost daily on topics ranging from stemming illegal immigration to restricting gender transitions for minors.
