In a powerful move to protect students and teachers, President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday dismantling the disastrous Obama-Biden school discipline policies that prioritized race-based discrimination over student safety. The order, titled “Reinstating Common Sense School Discipline Policies,” overturns the 2014 Department of Justice and Department of Education guidance that forced schools to ignore misconduct from certain racial groups to avoid federal scrutiny. This radical policy, rooted in far-left “equity” ideology, put students and educators at risk by discouraging discipline—even for violent behavior—if it created so-called “racial disparities.”
The liberal media, of course, will spin this as a step backward, but the truth is clear: President Trump is standing up for every student’s right to a safe learning environment. The 2014 guidance, reinstated by the Biden administration in 2023, pressured schools to turn a blind eye to disruptive and even dangerous behavior to meet arbitrary racial quotas. As the executive order states, “The letter effectively required schools to discriminate on the basis of race by imposing discipline based on racial characteristics, rather than on objective behavior alone.”
Staff Secretary Will Sharf, presenting the order to President Trump, exposed the absurdity of the previous administration’s approach: “The Department of Justice issued guidance that made it almost impossible for schools to enforce adequate disciplinary policies. Basically, they focused on CRT and sort of diversity ideology instead of actually just enforcing the rules in classrooms to ensure a safe learning environment.”
Education Secretary Linda McMahon emphasized the importance of restoring authority to teachers, stating, “It gives teachers the ability now to have discipline in their classroom and discipline the person who is being disruptive. We took that away.”
The event also featured a heartfelt testimony from a North Carolina educator who has spent eight years fighting against the violent consequences of lax school discipline. She shared the tragic stories of students lost to school violence, directly blaming the failed policies of past administrations:
“We have three students that should be here with us today. We have Austin Metcalf… Serenity Baker, and Nahzir Taylor from Charlotte, North Carolina, who was shot in the back as he was getting off of a school bus because they thought he was a part of a big brawl that happened inside a public high school. So, this is very important and critical legislation that we have to keep our educators safe, we have to keep our students safe, and public schools have to be safe environments.”
She praised President Trump’s leadership, declaring, “I spoke at the RNC, and I told millions that Donald Trump and his administration was going to make schools great again, and I feel that we’re on the right path.”
While the left-wing media continues to push their divisive agenda, President Trump is delivering real solutions. No student should fear for their safety because of politically correct discipline policies. This executive order ensures that schools can once again enforce rules fairly—without being shackled by race-based double standards.
