President Donald Trump has issued several executive actions aimed at reforming public education in the United States, including one that targets transgender ideology, keeping a promise he made after winning the 2024 election.

“We will get critical race theory and transgender insanity the [expletive] out of our schools, and we’re going to get it out of our schools very fast,” he said during a Dec. 22, 2024, rally in Arizona.
