The Department of Defense Education Activity agency is a high-profile example of a federally run education program that has already been a conservative target.
The article from MSN discusses how Donald Trump's potential pick for Defense Secretary, if he wins the 2024 election, could significantly influence American education policy. The focus is on Trump's previous and potential future policies aimed at reshaping education, particularly through the lens of national security and cultural issues. Trump has expressed intentions to dismantle the Department of Education, promote school choice, and alter how topics like race, gender, and American history are taught in schools. His administration previously attempted to redirect federal education funding towards private and religious schools via voucher programs and has pushed for a curriculum that emphasizes "patriotic education." Critics argue these moves could undermine public education, exacerbate educational inequalities, and promote a politically motivated educational agenda. The article suggests that Trump's defense pick could play a pivotal role in these educational reforms, intertwining military and educational policy in unprecedented ways.
