Here we go, a new EO regarding schools.

"Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling
EXECUTIVE ORDER
January 29, 2025"

"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."

I'm very pleased about the references to critical examination and critical thinking. Those skills are in short supply on our side of the pond too.

Love it! Completely agree that attributing someone the label of oppressor based on their skin colour and NOTHING that have done is damaging both to the person and to relations between races. I am only responsible for my actions, not those of the generations that have come before me.

Let’s hope this has an effect on schools in UK!

And also, given very very serious safeguarding failings in the UK, we know that the safeguarding framework hasn't and doesn't protect children from truly abusive parents. I'd argue partly because it's been undermined by progressive brain rot.

Oooh hurrah! Who is writing these things? Is there are a secret FWR poster on Trump's team? Couldn't be clearer.

Trying to gaslight children into a position of parental alienation is abusive - children who are not in the care of their parents have far worse life outcomes. It's pure evil. For any parents that ARE abusive there's already a system for reporting and taking children into care but given - in the UK at least - children in care are sexually abused at a far higher rate than children not in care (see grooming gangs - who targeted children's homes) then it has to be very much more serious that not sharing a belief in 'gender identity' to do that.

I'm actually stunned that those things have been put into words. Very clear words.
