Six Strategies for Trump to Make Education Great Again and Woo Back Suburban Voters

America stands in crisis today with urban rioting and political division. The crisis in America is at root a crisis in our educational system. As President Abraham Lincoln once said, "the philosophy of the school room in one generation with be the philosophy of government in the next." Taking Lincoln's quote forward 150 years, the theories of structural racism, critical race theory, Marxism, gender theory, revisionist history, queer theory, etc., are rapidly coming to bare in America's streets and the halls of government.

The crisis in education has two facets: a crisis in civics and a crisis in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Each is rooted in the postmodern denial of objectivity and truth and the postmodern obsession with identities, which are together corrupting our education. These obsessions are bringing down civics and STEM with it. When our students are taught that America is fundamentally flawed, they are often done so at the expense of learning about our system of government or history. For example, half of students do not know when the Civil War was fought. When educators start talking nonsense about "white math," then some students are in essence being told they are not capable of learning it. The less time spent on real civics and math, the more time may be spent building grievances.

Ours is a crisis in civics as well as a national security disaster waiting to happen. We are falling perilously behind our foremost geopolitical competitor, the Communist People's Republic of China, in STEM. The U.S. National Military Strategy since 2018 has acknowledged that we are in an era of "Great Power Competition," and so should our schools be.

Order the USAF to bomb the studio where they produce The View. THAT'S how Trump wins back suburban women.

Vouchers play better in the cities.
Most suburbanites moved to the suburbs to take advantage of better school systems.

Trump needs to blitz the airwaves with ads showing how he stopped the Left from flooding the suburbs with projects. Your average suburbanite is clueless that this was happening.

This article shows how Trump will mop the floor with Creppy Joe in debates, Joe will likely avoid any policy statements and stick to “how could I not be better than POTUS?”

Trump just needs to point out these types of simple reforms, and pointedly ask Joe why he specifically opposes programs that would help minorities.

Joe will melt down anyways..but make him avoid answering questions/look him expose how dumb he is
