President-Elect Trump Unveils Historic Plan for America's Youth Public Education This Weekend

• “First, we will respect parents’ right to control their children’s education.
 
• “Second, we will empower parents and local school boards to hire and reward great principals and teachers and fire those who perform below par.
 
• “Third, we will ensure our classrooms are focused not on political indoctrination but on teaching the knowledge and skills needed to succeed - reading, writing, math, science, arithmetic, and other beneficial subjects.
 
• “Fourth, we will prepare students to love their country and not hate it like they’re trained [to do] now.
 
• “Fifth, we will support bringing back prayer to our schools.
 
• “Sixth, we will achieve safe, secure, and drug-free schools with immediate expulsion for any student who harms a teacher or another student.
 
• “Seventh, we will give all parents the right to choose another school for their children: School Choice.
 
• “Eighth, we will ensure students can access project-based learning experiences to help train them for meaningful work outside the classroom.
 
• “Ninth, we will strive to give all students access to internships and work experiences that can set them on a path to their first job. They’re going to be very, very successful. I want them to be more successful than Trump; I will [then] be the happiest person in the world.
 
• “Tenth, another thing I’ll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington, DC, and sending all education back to the states. We’re going to end education coming out of Washington, DC. We’re going to close it up, all those buildings all over the place, and yet, people who, in many cases, hate our children. We’re going to send it all back to the States.
