Trump Moves to Reinstate Traditional School Discipline and Overhaul Education Standards

President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders on April 23, 2025, aimed at reforming the U.S. education system. The measures seek to restore traditional school discipline practices, shift higher education accreditation standards away from diversity initiatives, and curb foreign financial influence in American academic institutions.

One major executive order titled "Reinstating Common Sense School Discipline Policies" directs the Department of Education to eliminate the influence of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in disciplinary actions within K-12 schools. The order emphasizes a return to behavior-based discipline, asserting that previous policies focusing on racial disparities have compromised classroom safety and contributed to disorder. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon has been instructed to release new guidance to schools within 30 days to support these changes.

In the realm of higher education, the administration issued new directives targeting accreditation standards. Accrediting bodies are now encouraged to focus on student performance outcomes and intellectual diversity rather than evaluating institutions based on DEI efforts. Colleges and universities failing to align with the revised standards may risk losing federal recognition, putting their eligibility for federal financial aid programs at stake.

Another executive order focuses on tightening the rules around foreign funding disclosures by universities. Institutions will face heightened scrutiny regarding financial contributions from foreign governments and entities. Failure to disclose such relationships could result in a loss of federal funding. This measure is intended to protect national security interests and reduce foreign influence in American higher education, building on prior concerns raised about foreign investments on U.S. campuses.

The broader aim of these reforms is to prioritize educational merit, reinforce discipline in schools, and safeguard American academic integrity. Supporters argue that the orders represent a necessary course correction after years of policies that prioritized ideology over performance. Critics, however, caution that the reforms could disproportionately impact minority students and stifle programs aimed at inclusion and diversity.

With these actions, President Trump signals a firm continuation of his administration’s efforts to redefine the role of education in fostering order, accountability, and national strength.

We Were Thrown Off the Moon—And This Is Why | David Adair & Linda Moulton Howe

Image
In the discussion titled "We Were Thrown Off the Moon—And This Is Why," David Adair and Linda Moulton Howe delve into theories suggesting that the Moon is not a natural satellite but an ancient alien construct designed for surveillance and control. They posit that humanity's presence on the Moon was curtailed due to our potential to uncover its true nature. Adair shares experiences of advanced propulsion systems and interactions with non-human intelligence, while Howe presents evidence from lunar anomalies and whistleblower testimonies. This conversation explores the idea that the Moon's artificiality and its role in monitoring Earth have been concealed, and that our attempts to establish a foothold there were met with resistance from unknown entities. The discussion challenges conventional narratives about lunar exploration and suggests a hidden history involving extraterrestrial technology and intentions. For a more in-depth exploration of these theories, you c...

ICE Raids Courthouse... Judge Arrested and Migrants Deported

Image
In a significant escalation of immigration enforcement, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have conducted coordinated arrests at immigration courthouses across multiple U.S. cities, including New York, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Seattle, Miami, and Dallas. These operations targeted individuals who had been in the country for less than two years and had just had their immigration cases dismissed. The arrests are part of a strategy to accelerate deportations by utilizing the expedited removal process, bypassing traditional, lengthier immigration proceedings.   In a related development, Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI on April 25, 2025, and charged with two felony counts of obstruction and concealing an individual. The charges stem from allegations that she assisted an undocumented immigrant in evading arrest by ICE agents. Judge Dugan was suspended by the Wisconsin Supreme Court on April 29, 2025, pending the outcome of the case. T...
