00:00Thank you, sir. Thank you, Mr. President.
00:02Next, sir, we have an executive order on school discipline policies.
00:06Under, I believe it was the Biden administration, first Obama and then Biden,
00:10the Department of Justice issued guidance that made it almost impossible for schools to enforce adequate disciplinary policies.
00:19This created issues in the classroom for teachers and students alike.
00:23Basically, they focused on CRT and sort of diversity ideology instead of actually just enforcing the rules in classrooms to ensure a safe learning environment.
00:34This executive order revokes that prior guidance and puts us back in a place where hopefully the Department of Education can focus on education and teachers can focus on teaching in a safe environment.
00:45And this was important for you, Linda, as I understand it.
00:48Yeah, absolutely, because it gives teachers the authority now to have discipline in their classroom and discipline the person who is being disruptive.
00:57Okay.
00:58We took that away.
01:08Okay.
01:15Nice.
01:16Cool.
01:16Lastly, sir, we have an executive order on disparate impact theory.
01:22This is a theory that underlies a lot of the modern DEI and CRT-driven diversity culture.
01:29The basic idea here is instructing your departments and agencies to no longer rely on disparate impact theory as they're regulating, as they're issuing guidance, as they're making rules.
01:40We want to focus on results.
01:43We want to focus on actual fairness.
01:44Yes, we want to focus on merit, not things like disparate impact theory and the whole sort of diversity, equity, and inclusion cult.
01:52It's getting out of that, huh?
01:53Yes, sir.
01:54Thank you for being in that jungle for a long time.
