Trump Signs Executive Orders Dealing With Antisemitism, Critical Race Theory in Education

“Jewish students have faced an unrelenting barrage of discrimination; denial of access to campus common areas and facilities, including libraries and classrooms; and intimidation, harassment, and physical threats and assault.”

Trump continued his series of executive orders on Wednesday, signing two EOs that deal exclusively with education, one focused on antisemitism and another on Critical Race Theory.

As we have often pointed out, these two issues are linked, as the embrace of CRT in education frequently leads directly to antisemitism.

From the White House website:

Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Purpose. My Administration has fought and will continue to fight anti-Semitism in the United States and around the world. On December 11, 2019, I issued Executive Order 13899, my first Executive Order on Combating Anti-Semitism, finding that students, in particular, faced anti-Semitic harassment in schools and on university and college campuses.

Executive Order 13899 provided interpretive assistance on the enforcement of the Nation’s civil rights laws to ensure that they would protect American Jews to the same extent to which all other American citizens are protected. The prior administration effectively nullified Executive Order 13899 by failing to give the terms of the order full force and effect throughout the Government. This order reaffirms Executive Order 13899 and directs additional measures to advance the policy thereof in the wake of the Hamas terrorist attacks of October 7, 2023, against the people of Israel. These attacks unleashed an unprecedented wave of vile anti-Semitic discrimination, vandalism, and violence against our citizens, especially in our schools and on our campuses.

Jewish students have faced an unrelenting barrage of discrimination; denial of access to campus common areas and facilities, including libraries and classrooms; and intimidation, harassment, and physical threats and assault. A joint report by the House Committees on Education and the Workforce, Energy and Commerce, Judiciary, Oversight and Accountability, Veterans’ Affairs, and Ways and Means calls the Federal Government’s failure to fight anti-Semitism and protect Jewish students “astounding.” This failure is unacceptable and ends today.

The EO on Critical Race Theory is more encompassing in its scope as CRT has simply been embedded in more grade levels and is linked to other forms of leftist ideology.

Again, the White House website:

Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Purpose and Policy. 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.

In recent years, however, parents have witnessed schools indoctrinate their children in radical, anti-American ideologies while deliberately blocking parental oversight. Such an environment operates as an echo chamber, in which students are forced to accept these ideologies without question or critical examination. In many cases, innocent children are compelled to adopt identities as either victims or oppressors solely based on their skin color and other immutable characteristics. In other instances, young men and women are made to question whether they were born in the wrong body and whether to view their parents and their reality as enemies to be blamed. These practices not only erode critical thinking but also sow division, confusion, and distrust, which undermine the very foundations of personal identity and family unity.

Imprinting anti-American, subversive, harmful, and false ideologies on our Nation’s children not only violates longstanding anti-discrimination civil rights law in many cases, but usurps basic parental authority. For example, steering students toward surgical and chemical mutilation without parental consent or involvement or allowing males access to private spaces designated for females may contravene Federal laws that protect parental rights, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), and sex-based equality and opportunity, including Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX). Similarly, demanding acquiescence to “White Privilege” or “unconscious bias,” actually promotes racial discrimination and undermines national unity.

My Administration will enforce the law to ensure that recipients of Federal funds providing K-12 education comply with all applicable laws prohibiting discrimination in various contexts and protecting parental rights, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI), 42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.; Title IX, 20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.; FERPA, 20 U.S.C. 1232g; and the PPRA, 20 U.S.C. 1232h.

Both of these executive orders are necessary and overdue. The left has been allowed for years now, to use our system of education to promote a poisonous ideology which must be removed at every level.

    Are you talking about universities or Jews?

      Any grifter sucking on the federal teat, any huckster riding the federal gravy train, anyone regardless of profession, religion, color or creed who chooses to make their living off the taxpayers but refuses to treat everyone with the same respect and dignity or offers discriminatory treatment based upon class, religion, color, race, ethnicity, sex or sexual orientation.

I can tell the swamp is getting a little drier already.

    what are you taling about. Him, Vance, Hegseth, Bondi, Miller, Noem,KEnnedy,Patel. All slimy swamp creatures Same as last time. Sleazebags attract sleazebags,

      Oh thank you Sweetie! You are the smartest, most qualified and impartial poster on this website. Your opinions are invaluable to every one of us. Please think up some more good BS.

        CBStockdale in reply to Paula. | January 31, 2025 at 9:00 am

        A good riposte, Paula. I have decided, however, that it’s not necessary to respond to criticism in an online setting such as this when the critic is already demonstrating his bias or unreasonableness. It’s made my life more enjoyable. If you disagree, I will continue to enjoy your comebacks!

      You progressive fascists just can’t help lying and fighting to preserve the racism that is the core value of the Democratic Party. MLK dreamed that people would be judged by the content of their character not the color of their skin. He was a Republican because he knew that the Democratic Party was built on racism.

      Paula in reply to tjv1156. | January 30, 2025 at 1:09 pm

      Please do be careful, Sweetie, in lashing out that you don’t injure yourself. And be sure to wipe your nose.

      Another idiotic message from The Junior Varsity.

      JohnSmith100 in reply to tjv1156. | January 30, 2025 at 2:15 pm

      This is a common sleazy tactic, accusing the good guys of being like them selves.

This is splendid! Trump will have the leftists clamoring for School Choice for their own children.

Oh wait. Their interest is in indoctrinating OUR children. So probably not.

Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent dedicated leftists teachers in the government school system from indoctrinating children into leftism. They’ll just do it more subtly.

Pick a school whose foundational and enduring philosophy is appropriate for your child.

    JohnSmith100 in reply to gibbie. | January 30, 2025 at 2:20 pm

    There is something that can be done, fir them and banish the from teaching. Also, make them personally liable.

    CommoChief in reply to gibbie. | January 30, 2025 at 4:20 pm

    Cameras in the classroom on a live stream w/audio so that any Parent or any interested party for that matter can simply go see for themselves just what is going on in every classroom.

      paracelsus in reply to CommoChief. | January 30, 2025 at 5:05 pm

      cameras IMHO are the epitome of impersonal intrusiveness (besides which, recordings can be edited).
      If I may make a slightly different suggestion:
      interested parents might set up “visits” to the classroom – would only take about a dozen parents alternating days
      I can understand why university professors are given “tenure”; why are high school teachers given tenure?

Unions and communists run the public schools and the Universities and if we dare criticize them we are labeled “intolerant” “fascist” Nazi” “hater” etc. They want to be immune from criticism and accountability. And a large part our population seems to have drunk the propaganda with enthusiasm.

And so we watch our idiot overlords allow muslim immigration and watch them scream their vitriol at us. And we sit here like morons doing nothing.

Hopefully Trump is starting to correct this, but the swamp is deep and imbedded. This is going to be a decades long project
