Stephen Miller and the Gestapo [View all]




- Stephen Miller, as Trump's homeland security advisor, announced plans to close the Department of Education and redirect funding to states, ensuring it is not used to promote what he labels as "communist ideology," reflecting a broader effort to reshape educational content and funding mechanisms.
- This policy shift is part of a larger strategy to combat what Miller describes as a "cancerous communist woke culture," aiming to instill patriotism and traditional values in schools, amidst a backdrop of controversial immigration policies he has influenced, including family separations and the Muslim travel ban.
- The announcement coincides with a period of significant executive action under Trump, with over two dozen orders issued recently, reversing Biden-era policies and potentially impacting higher education by aligning it more closely with conservative ideologies, as part of a broader cultural and political realignment.
