“Parents trust America’s schools to provide their children with a rigorous education and to instill a patriotic admiration for our incredible Nation and the values for which we stand,” said President Trump.
“In recent years, however, parents have witnessed schools indoctrinate their children in radical, anti-American ideologies while deliberately blocking parental oversight,” he added.
Trump’s order takes aim at radical gender ideology, which says a person can be born into the wrong body and encourages children to undergo irreversible chemical or surgical procedures to make them appear more like the opposite sex.
