Overview
In the aftermath of the presidential election, several teachers across the U.S. have faced controversies regarding political expression in classrooms. A Connecticut teacher resigned after making violent threats in a video, while others in California reacted negatively to students displaying MAGA attire, leading to suspensions. These incidents reflect evolving tensions over free speech in education settings, amid President-elect Donald Trump’s aggressive plans to eradicate 'wokeness' from schools by leveraging federal funding against schools perceived as promoting left-wing ideologies. Trump's vision includes cutting funding for schools teaching critical race theory, enforcing bans on transgender athletes, and shutting down the Department of Education.
