Education
Many Gen Z Americans are students - but they are also educators, advocates for educational equity, and parents of school age children. Project 2025 threatens the future of equitable access to education, by proposing to eliminate the Department of Education, remove protections for transgender students, and abandon the Head Start Program for early childhood education.
According to Project 2025, an incoming conservative administration would:
- Eliminate the Head Start program, restricting access to affordable pre-Kindergarten education
- Aim to eliminate the Department of Education
- Advocate for the Secretary of Education to “insist that the department serve parents and American ideals, not advocates whose message is that children can choose their own sex, that America is “systemically racist,” that math itself is racist, and that Martin Luther King, Jr.’s ideal of a colorblind society should be rejected in favor of reinstating a color-conscious society” (page 286)
- Not allow a public education employee or contractor to use a name to address a student other than the name listed on a student’s birth certificate or a pronoun in addressing a student that is different from that student’s biological sex, without the written permission of a student’s parents or guardians
