Warning from the Classroom: Teachers Reject Trump’s Policies

Early analysis from a new 2025 national survey of 1,000 teachers reveals resounding rejection of the Trump administration’s early education policies pursued or enacted in its first weeks in power. From incendiary and legally dubious Executive Orders (EOs) and regulatory changes that meddle directly in classrooms—targeting gender identity, immigration status, and even textbook content–to efforts to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education (USED), educators nationwide are making one thing clear: this is not what they want for America’s schools.
