Kai Trump, first granddaughter of Donald Trump, speaks at RNC

Former US president Donald Trump has promised to defund schools teaching things like gender ideology and critical race theory if he is reelected this coming November.

Speaking at Turning Point Action's "The People's Convention" in Michigan on Saturday (June 15), Trump said he would further cut funding to federal schools that require vaccines and masks.

<h2>Education, a top priority</h2>

"On day one, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content onto the lives of our children," said the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

"And I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate," he stated, adding that he will also "keep men out of women’s sports".

Trump underscored that education is a top priority in his campaign. He had previously revealed plans to "break up" the Department of Education, alter schools' curriculums, and allow school principals to be elected.

He promised support for the Second Amendment, which upholds an individual's right to own a gun.

<h2>Trump on gender-affirming care and LGBT rights</h2>

Trump accused Democrats of forcing the "liberal indoctrination of America's youth" and vowed to reverse President Joe Biden's administration's expansion of Title IX, which prevents federally funded schools from restricting transgender students' access to bathrooms, locker rooms, and pronouns aligned with their identities.&nbsp;

He also said he would prohibit doctors from providing gender-affirming care and not allow federal agencies to promote "the concept of sex and gender transition at any age".

Previously, in January, he called the promotion of the LGBTQ agenda a form of "child abuse" and laid out a strategy to end what he termed "chemical, physical, and emotional mutilation of our youth".
