Trump wants to end 'wokeness' in education. He has vowed to use federal money as leverage
President-elect Donald Trump has a vision for education that revolves around a single goal: to rid America’s schools of perceived “wokeness” and “left-wing indoctrination.”
Summary
Donald Trump’s education agenda centers on eliminating “wokeness” and “left-wing indoctrination” in schools.
His plans include banning lessons on gender identity and structural racism, abolishing diversity offices, and barring transgender athletes in girls’ sports.
He aims to cut federal funding for schools defying his policies and eliminate the U.S. Education Department. Trump also proposes “patriotic education,” a nationwide ban on transgender athletes in women’s sports, and new teacher credentialing standards.
Critics argue these policies are politically driven, undermine education, and lack evidence. Many initiatives would face legal and procedural hurdles.

Oh, they tried to do this in sweden. They have promissed an examination of "wokeness" in higher education. They celebrated a university forbidding "any conversation a passer by could interpret as political". They have not started it yet, and they just changed the guy that is supposed to be the anti-woke minister in this context after the summer. So we will share this journey.
