California Department of Education 60,030 followers President Trump issued an executive order to find out what education funds he can legally rescind based on curriculum he doesn't like. Existing law already answers that question — nothing. BREAKING NEWS The California Department of Education Responds to President Trump’s Executive Order on What Can Be Taught in Schools “President Trump signed an executive order today that does nothing but require the Secretary of Education to determine what federal education funds can legally be rescinded as a penalty for teaching curricula that President Trump finds objectionable. We can give the Trump Administration that answer right now: nothing. It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach by threatening to defund essential public services for students. School curriculum should not vacillate back and forth depending on the occupant of the White House, which is why federal law already prohibits the federal government from leveraging grants to mandate specific instructional content in schools.” CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
