The Republican Party is expanding its ownership over the issue of education, making key policy proposals such as expanding parental rights, implementing patriotic education, and removing race and gender ideologies core components of its 2024 platform.

The plan, which was approved by the platform committee on Monday, is expected to receive passage during next week’s Republican National Convention, which begins Jul. 15. The inclusion of education as a core issue on the platform capitalizes on inroads Republicans have made since the last platform was passed, making the historically Democratic issue a central one for Republicans.
