How students are benefiting in the age of Trump

Published



Seven months ago, President Donald Trump’s resounding victory sent a clear message: America’s best days are ahead. Now, 150 days into his second term, the nation is on a strong path forward. He’s secured our borders, negotiated smarter trade deals, lowered living costs, eased tensions abroad, and restored respect for law and order. From soldiers to factory workers, from families to small business owners, Trump’s leadership is lifting people up. But there’s one group we don’t talk about enough: our students. They’re thriving in ways we haven’t seen in years, and it’s time we recognized why.

For decades, too many classrooms were under the thumb of teachers unions that cared more about politics than children. During the last administration, we saw young children exposed to inappropriate agendas, taught to question their country’s greatness, or judged by their appearance rather than their character. Some schools normalized biological boys who identify as female competing in girls’ sports, ignored rising antisemitism, or even encouraged life-altering decisions for children too young to fully understand them, sometimes without parents’ knowledge. This wasn’t education — it was a betrayal of trust.
