Trump administration touts ‘hard reset’ for American schools, vows to put parents ‘back in charge’

President Donald Trump on Monday marked the back-to-school season by promoting his administration’s school choice agenda and pledging to put parents "back in charge" of where and how their children are educated.

Speaking at a White House event alongside Education Secretary Linda McMahon, students, parents and educators, Trump said his administration is working to expand school choice while removing what he called "far left extremism" from classrooms.

"We're putting the parents back in charge," Trump said.
