Talk:Donald Trump achievements: Education

Local control?

State officials are still saying the Education Department is looking over and criticizing their education plans, which does not seem like much of a shift toward local control of education.[1] --1990'sguy (talk) 11:43, 20 July 2017 (EDT)

Irrelevant information removed

I just removed this info. Campaign positions/rhetoric is irrelevant to what Trump and his administration actually did in regard to education policy. The only exception is if/when we compare Trump's campaign positions/rhetoric to his actual policies as president, which the info I removed does not do, and what I think we can only really do after Trump's presidency is over (a president can keep campaign promises even up to the day their presidency ends). --1990'sguy (talk) 16:33, 16 August 2017 (EDT)

Campus sexual-assault regulations

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is proposing replacing Obama-era regulations regarding campus sexual-assault policy with something that will help students better: [2][3][4] Hopefully, this will succeed. --1990'sguy (talk) 23:46, 8 September 2017 (EDT)

Withdrawn conservative nominees

The Trump Administration withdrew Tim Kelly for an Education Department position due to a blog post related to Muslims he made in 2009.[5] Kelly is a conservative proponent of school choice, so it's ridiculous for the Trump Administration to do this based on this one thing. --1990'sguy (talk) 18:54, 9 November 2017 (EST)

Michelle Obama and school lunches

The USDA is taking steps to repeal regulations inspired by Michelle Obama that ordered schools across the country to serve and not serve certain foods.[6] The full repeal is scheduled to be completed by July 1, 2018. --1990'sguy (talk) 19:19, 22 December 2017 (EST)

Transgender bathroom complaints

Apparently, the Education Department will not investigate complaints made by transgender school students about not being treated as if they were the opposite biologocal gender: [7][8][9][10][11] This is clearly good news, though I'm hesitant to include this since these reports are relying on a single statement made by a spokeswoman to BuzzFeed. --1990'sguy (talk) 23:30, 13 February 2018 (EST)

Yes, refusing to waste tax dollars n the political correctness agenda of the left id always a good thing. As even the liberals in had to admit, this doesn't in any way meant that gay students will be unprotected from bullying, it just means that the federal government won't be wasting time and money on claims which are usually a bunch of nonsense.

As for whether this should be listed, I can go either way. Even if the only source is one spokesman, it it probably credible enough. This does show a policy change, so it might be worth mentioning. This does not relate directly back to Trump, but it does show he make a good appointment to the DoE. --David B ^(TALK) 10:59, 14 February 2018 (EST)
