You want equality, that’s exactly what you’re getting! On Wednesday, April 23. 2025 The Blaze ran this headline, “Trump signs executive order on ‘commonsense’ school discipline policies, artificial intelligence, foreign gifts, and HBCUs.”
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump added to the mountain of executive orders he has issued in his second term, with orders on “commonplace” school discipline, artificial intelligence, and other policies.
The order on school discipline ended policies imposed in 2014 that “effectively required schools to discriminate on the basis of race by imposing discipline based on racial characteristics, rather than on objective behavior alone.”
The order cited a 2018 report from the Federal Commission on School Safety that said schools merely covered up bad student behavior and kept students in class, putting all students at risk. The policies were rescinded that year but then implemented again in 2023, resulting in an increase in school violence and classroom disorder.
Trump’s order called on schools to discipline students based purely on their behavior, with no regard to racial disparities as a result of disciplinary action.
“President Trump is taking historic and commonsense action to boost school safety standards. Disciplinary decisions should be based solely on students’ behavior and actions,” said Linda McMahon, the U.S. education secretary.
“Now this is the type of equality we need in America.” said Thomas Robb, the National Director of the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan, centrally based in Harrison, Arkansas. “I can already see the problem this is going to cause. The first black student that gets the same discipline as a White student, there will be an uproar on how badly the black student was treated. Blacks only want equality when it comes to good jobs, nice houses, the best educations and things that are obtained with wealth. They don’t want to do the work involved to gain wealth, the just want it handed to them. Now here we are talking about equality in punishments. That’s a negative to blacks. They think any type of punishment, or anything that effects them negatively is White people being racist. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again..blacks couldn’t handle being equal to Whites.”
