Project 2025, the policy agenda for... Trumps potential first year back in the White House published by the far right conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation, has been making waves recently. Some of the many destructive proposals within the agenda include the elimination of the U.S. Department of Educationalong with federal education funding and any civil rights protectionsand the diversion of public money to private school voucher programs instead.
Make no mistake: The goal is to end public education. But dismantling our public schools isnt just the plan if Trump is reelectedit is already happening.
We are on the brink of a new wave of public school closures, another step in the decades-long project to divest and dismantle the institution of public school. Disguised as school choice, federal, state, local, and private actors have prioritized paying for private and charter schools, hoarding educational resources for the haves and depleting resources for the have-nots.
The policies that Project 2025 plans to prioritizegovernment payments to families sending their children to private school and creation of new charter schools that are run like businesseshave expanded in the last few years, starving public school districts that serve all students of already insufficient resources. In the 2023-24 school year, at least 70 school districts, including in San Antonio, Texas, Jackson, Mississippi, and Wichita, Kansas, announced permanent closures of public schools, impacting millions of students. These districts are resorting to the harmful, discriminatory, and ineffective so-called solution of closing schools in Black and Latine communities, stripping those communities of their local public schools.
