President Donald Trump Signed by several decrees relating to education on Wednesday afternoon, with several linked to the theme of return from meritocracy to the education system.
Orders, seven in total, included actions aimed at integrating artificial intelligence into kindergarten school programs in the 12th year, school discipline reforms and accreditation guidelines, requirements related to the disclosure of foreign financing to schools and improvements in the country's labor development programs.
The Trump's education series of orders also included another directive requiring the end of the ideology of I in schools, in particular the use of the “theory of disparate impact”, in addition to its previous decree from January, the end of programming and ideology of the type ofi in K-12 schools. An executive decree sets up a White House The initiative supporting the efficiency and efficiency of historically black colleges and universities was also signed on Wednesday by the president.

“They allow schools – they cannot have mathematics – and yet children who have worked very hard and are number one in their class outside the school – a place in New Jersey or Mississippi – they cannot enter the best schools,” said Trump when he signed his order taking into account new school accreditation requirements. “What is it?”
“I think that happens to your policy, sir, of meritocracy – that we should look at those who have a real merit to enter,” said the secretary of the Ministry of Education Linda McMahon, Who stood above Trump's shoulder while he signed, struck. “And we have to look more carefully at universities that do not assert this.”
The reforms of accreditation, as well as the decrees of the president on school discipline and the “theory of disparate impact”, were all linked to the revival of the era of the Biden administration to prioritize Dei on meritocracy. More specifically, accreditation reforms seek to prevent accreditors from imposing standards based on “diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)”, while forcing them to “prioritize the results of the students”.
Meanwhile, under the Biden administration, the Department of Education has published advice on the discipline of students maintaining that the persistent racism clouds of school disciplinary systems. Trump's executive decree of Trump cancels these tips.

“Under, I think it was the Biden administration – First Obama then Biden – The Ministry of Justice published councils which made almost impossible for schools to enforce adequate disciplinary policies, “said Will Scharf of Trump about the Order while Trump signed it.” Basically, they focused on the CRT and the ideology of diversity, instead of simply applying the rules in the classes to ensure a safe learning environment. “”
The ban on the “disparate impact theory” is based on the president's previous orders on the elimination of “discriminatory” Dei programs and influences from educational contexts.
“This is a theory that underpins a large part of the modern culture of the diversity of Dei and CRT,” said Scharf. “The basic idea is to ask your departments and agencies to no longer count on the theory of disparate impact because they regulate, because they emitted advice, because they establish rules. We want to focus on results, we want to focus on real equity, we want to focus on merit, not things like the theory of disparate impact and inclusion. “

In addition to focusing on the return of meritocracy to the education system, the decrees of the president also sought to modernize American education and the preparation of the workforce thanks to the implementation of the education of AI in schools and by the commitment to add 1 million new learning.
The order of AI, Trump's last pro -i measure, has established a White House working group for AI and education that will work with federal agencies and the private sector to help write AI programs for schools.
