President Trump signed an executive order to prohibit federal funds from going to K-12 public schools that teach critical race theory (CRT) and or gender issues. The order, which could quickly face legal challenges, “prohibits federal funding of the indoctrination of children which includes radical gender ideology and critical race theory in the classroom.”

The Education secretary and Defense secretary — for schools run by the defense department — are ordered to create a strategy for ending the “indoctrination in K-12 education” within 90 days. The order also reinstates the 1776 Commission Trump created in his first term, telling all executive agencies to “prioritize the advancement of patriotic education.”

CRT, which is typically taught at the collegiate and post-graduate level, has been around for decades and states that race is a social construct and is embedded in American institutions. But in his order, Trump used the example of the Albemarle County School District in Virginia, which the administration says created an “anti-racism” policy that taught a student “her achievement was based on her race,” alleging the incident was a result of CRT.

It is unclear what the criteria will be for the Department of Education to determine if a school is using the theory.

3. So not defunding any schools. Will he ban unicorns from getting tattoos next?

Ban after birth abortions? Ban Haitians from eating neighbors' pets? Ban California from turning off the magical water spigot to the North? Ban Republican woman over 50 from not getting lip injections?

4. But Crumb The 1st and the GQP

would be fine with funding schools that taught "genetic" superiority, a sympathetic view of the Confederacy, a presentation of the KKK as a social services club and education of the virtues of child labor. In fact they would likely get bonus funding and "special" guest lectures from Edolph and Stephen Miller.
