Trump issues executive orders addressing antisemitism, education financing, and school choice.
In the week and a half since he’s been in office, Trump has signed a flurry of executive actions as he’s sought to remake the federal government and enact his sweeping “America First” agenda, with a particular target on so-called diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on school funding Wednesday that fulfill promises he made on the campaign trail, including on school choice and ending funding for schools that support what the White House calls “radical indoctrination.”
In the week and a half since he’s been in office, Trump has signed a flurry of executive actions as he’s sought to remake the federal government and enact his sweeping “America First” agenda, with a particular target on so-called diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
Also on Wednesday, he signed an executive order combating antisemitism.
The order on school choice — an issue that Trump has been pushing for eight years — could be a huge win for conservative activists and politicians who have been advocating for decades to facilitate the use of public monies for private education by families.
In an attempt to give parents taxpayer money to pay for private schools, the decree involves several authorities.
One of its orders is for the Department of Education, which Trump has promised to close, to provide guidelines on how to use federal funds to assist elementary school student scholarship programs. In order to allow military families to use DOD funding to send their children to the school of their choice, the Department of Defense is have to present a plan to Trump personally. A plan outlining how families with children enrolled in Bureau of Indian Education schools can use federal funds to send their children to the school of their choosing must be presented to Trump by the secretary of the interior. And Guidelines on how states might use HHS funds to attend private or religious schools must be released by the Health and Human Services Department.
