Wait a minute. Wasn’t National Review at the forefront of trashing Trump before the election? Shouldn’t they do a mea culpa before lauding the President?

USAians must seize control of their schools, de-Federalize them. DC should never have been involved, and cannot be _legally_. Your/our children barely survived the brainwashing therein.

The education department needs to be shut down immediately and total control returned to local and state government.
