Trump Says Schools Indoctrinate Kids with ‘Leftist Agenda’
“President Trump pressed his case that U.S. schools are indoctrinating children with a left-wing agenda hostile to the nation’s Founding Fathers, describing efforts to educate students about racism and slavery as an insult to the nation’s lofty founding principles,” the Washington Post reports.
“Trump, speaking before original copies of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence at the National Archives, characterized demonstrations against racial injustice as ‘left-wing rioting and mayhem’ that ‘are the direct result of decades of left-wing indoctrination in our schools. It’s gone on far too long.'”
Trump also said he would create a national commission to promote “pro-American curriculum that celebrates the truth about our nation’s great history.”
