President Donald Trump signed several sweeping executive orders on Wednesday to overhaul the American education system, primarily by removing so-called progressive ideologies from school hallways and classrooms.
The executive orders come as Trump has railed against the U.S. education system, accusing it of indoctrinating children in radical anti-American, racist and gender ideologies.
However, critics swiftly condemned the executive orders as being an attack on LGBTQ students and on the accurate teaching of U.S. history, specifically concerning slavery and racial injustice.

The executive order titled Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schools threatens to withhold federal funding for "illegal and discriminatory treatment and indoctrination in K-12 schools," including based on gender ideology and the undefined and vague "discriminatory equity ideology."
