President Trump is ordering U.S. schools to stop teaching what he views as "critical race theory" and other material dealing with race and sexuality or risk losing their federal money.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday prohibiting federal funding of K-12 schools that promote critical race theory or radical gender ideology. Elizabeth (Troutman) Mitchell is a reporter for The Daily Signal and co-host of "The Daily Signal Podcast." Send her an email.
