  4. How #Trump Is Remaking #PublicEducation

    #Education Secretary #LindaMcMahon says public schools are failing. As part of her “hard reset” of the system, she’s working to dismantle the Dept of Education, steer tax dollars to options like #religious & charter schools, & encourage #schools to teach a pro-America version of #history. She’s brought in at least 20 advisers from #conservative think tanks like #HeritageFoundation & advocacy groups like #FamilyResearchCouncil

    Trump undertakes a MAGA-centric makeover of US civics education

    By Shauneen Miranda, Ohio Capital Journal, https://ohiocapitaljournal.com

    WASHINGTON — A slew of conservative groups will lead a new coalition to spur civics education and push the subject in a more patriotic direction, the U.S. Education Department announced, raising alarms for some traditional civics and education groups that were not included in the initiative.

    The America First Policy Institute, a think tank with close ties to the president, is organizing and coordinating the America 250 Civics Education Coalition made up of more than 40 national and state-based groups, including prominent conservative advocacy organizations such as the Heritage Foundation and Turning Point USA.

    The vast majority of the groups in the coalition promote a vision of U.S. identity that downplays historical wrongs associated with race and gender and projects the country as an exceptional force for good. Many are well-known conservative groups that have promoted President Donald Trump’s political agenda.

    The coalition lacks many of the more traditional civics education groups who say their nonpartisanship is a fundamental element of civics education, leading to concerns from those groups.

    “Our organization serves students in every state and over 80% of counties,” said Shawn Healy, the chief policy and advocacy officer at iCivics, a group that promotes public support for civics education. “You can’t do that if your curriculum is shaded red or blue — it has to be fiercely nonpartisan.”

    The coalition will have nothing to do with school curricula, a department official said last month, acknowledging that the agency legally cannot dictate what schools teach. And it will not receive any federal funding from the department, the official added.

    But the agency has taken other steps that appear designed to steer curricula in a more partisan direction.

    The same day the coalition launched, the department announced it would be prioritizing “patriotic education” when it comes to discretionary grants. The agency said patriotic education “presents American history in a way that is accurate, honest, and inspiring.”

    Earlier in September, the department said it would invest more than $160 million in American history and civics grants — a $137 million increase in the funds Congress previously approved.

    Civics as cultural battleground

    Civics — a branch of social studies that focuses on rights and obligations of citizenship and the basic mechanics of government — has been a bipartisan priority, though it’s become a hot-button issue within education culture wars regarding how and what is taught as America grapples with its complicated history. 

    Many on the political right, including Trump, have long bristled at how that history is taught. Going back to his first presidency, Trump has sought to exert control over the subject.

    After retaking office in January, he reestablished the 1776 Commission — an advisory committee meant “to promote patriotic education.”

    “Despite the virtues and accomplishments of this Nation, many students are now taught in school to hate their own country, and to believe that the men and women who built it were not heroes, but rather villains,” notes the executive order first establishing the commission during his first term. 

    The commission released a 41-page report in January 2021 that drew criticism from historians and educators, including the American Historical Association.

    In a statement signed by 47 other organizations, the association wrote that the report makes “an apparent attempt to reject recent efforts to understand the multiple ways the institution of slavery shaped our nation’s history.” 

    Trump formed the commission after The New York Times published the 1619 Project, which aimed to “reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of our national narrative.” 

    Heritage Foundation, Turning Point USA sign up 

    In its September announcement, the department said the coalition “is dedicated to renewing patriotism, strengthening civic knowledge, and advancing a shared understanding of America’s founding principles in schools across the nation.” 

    The coalition will include more than 100 events and programs across the country over the next year as part of the administration’s celebration of the country’s 250th anniversary. 

    The coalition is set to feature a 50-state “Trail to Independence Tour,” a “Fundamental Liberties College Speaker Series” as well as “Patriotic K-12 Teacher Summits and Toolboxes” aimed at supporting “patriotic teaching nationwide.” 

    The America 250 Civics Education Coalition includes right-wing organizations like the Heritage Foundation — the architect of the sweeping conservative policy agenda known as Project 2025 — as is America First Legal, a conservative advocacy group founded by Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff. 

    Turning Point USA, co-founded by conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in September, is also part of the initiative. PragerU, a conservative nonprofit that has drawn questions among researchers and scholars regarding the accuracy of its content, was also listed as a member of the coalition.

    Education Secretary Linda McMahon was the chair of the board of the America First Policy Institute between her roles in the first and second Trump administrations. She had to sign an ethics waiver to participate in the coalition, according to the department official, who did not provide further details on what exactly this entailed.

    Gas und Öl statt Klimaschutz: Wer Trumps Pläne nach Deutschland bringt –
    eine @correctiv_org Recherche von @AnnikaJoeres @elenakolb @katahuth

    "#CORRECTIV hat Geldflüsse verfolgt, ist politischen und wirtschaftlichen Verbindungen nachgegangen, die von den USA über Ungarn bis hinein in die Spitzenpositionen der deutschen Politik reichen. Das Ergebnis: In Deutschland gehört zu diesem Netzwerk nicht nur das #PrometheusInstitut von Frank #Schäffler. Auch CDU-nahe Verbände, wirtschaftsliberale Institutionen wie das Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft (#IW) und Politiker der #FDP und #CDU sind eng mit umstrittenen Organisationen in den USA verbandelt – einige profitieren offenbar auch finanziell.

    Zwar haben viele der Ökonomen und neoliberalen Thinktanks nichts oder wenig mit den irrationalen und rassistischen Ideen von Donald #Trump gemein, aber sie teilen in der #Klimapolitik einige Überzeugungen – etwa die, noch weiter Öl und Gas zu nutzen. Viele stehen der FDP und, wie unsere Recherche zeigt, zunehmend auch der CDU nahe. Neben Trump kommt noch ein zweiter autoritärer Staatschef ins Spiel: der ungarische Ministerpräsident Viktor #Orbán. Er verbündet sich mit konservativen Organisationen in Deutschland, bis hin zu einem CDU-Thinktank. […]

    Die Ziele der häufig reinen Männerzirkel: Sie fordern einen ungebremsten Markt. Und wenden sich gegen schnell wirksame, klimapolitische  Maßnahmen wie ein #Verbrenner-Verkaufsverbot, ein #Tempolimit oder einen Ausstieg aus #Gas und #Kohle. Sie wollen ihre Überzeugungen global verbreiten und damit Regierungen beeinflussen."

  10. Leaked #Project2025 Training Videos Show Former #Trump Officials Detailing Plans to Dismember Gov’t

    Story by #DemocracyNow

    "AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org. It’s 'War, Peace and the Presidency.' I’m Amy Goodman.

    "We look now at the #FarRight policy plan to overhaul the federal government, known as Project 2025. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is trying to downplay his connection to the plan. And last week, Kevin Roberts, head of the influential right-wing #HeritageFoundation, postponed the release of his Project 2025 book until after the November election. The book’s foreword is written by Trump’s vice-presidential running mate, #JDVance.

    "Trump’s campaign insists it has no connection to the right-wing blueprint for #immigration, almost a thousand pages long — a blueprint for immigration, #ReproductiveRights, #ClimatePolicy and more. But many of the key figures working for Project 2025 are former top Trump administration officials, some of them featured in newly released videos that were created for Project 2025’s Presidential Administration Academy.

    "In a major new development, the independent news outlets #ProPublica and #Documented have now published dozens of these videos, some of which we’ll feature today. In this clip, Trump’s former deputy chief of staff at #USAID, the U.S. Agency for International Development, #BethanyKozma, discusses #ClimateChange.

    " BETHANY KOZMAN: Climate change, allegedly, is everywhere. And if the American people elect a conservative president, his administration will have to eradicate climate change references from absolutely everywhere. And according to our intelligence community, the number one threat facing our country today is — drum roll — climate change — not Russia, not China, not AI, climate change. This shows how the federal government is all in on this issue. And #ClimateChangeActivists wield a lot of power. This is an issue to pay attention to, as it has infiltrated every part of the federal government."

    [Seems like the far right view #ClimateActivists as a threat]
