AlBzour, Naser N.; Saedeen, Mohammad (2022). Donald Trump's Denial Speeches of the 2020 United States Presidential Election's Results: A Critical Discourse Analysis Perspective. Advances in Language and Literary Studies, v13 n1 p32-40. The primary concern of the present study is to provide a critical discourse analysis of Donald Trump's denial speeches of the 2020 United States presidential election's results. Using Van Dijk's framework of critical discourse analysis, this study investigates the linguistic features in five speeches of Donald Trump delivered after announcing the results of the US presidential election. The data analysis is conducted focusing on the use of 25 discursive devices presented by Van Dijk (2006), which represent the micro-level of text analysis to reveal the ideologies of positive self-representation and negative other-representation which represent the macro-level of text analysis. The findings of the study show that Trump made use of the majority of the discursive devices, with a special emphasis on using the following: "lexicalization," "evidentiality," "example/illustration," "number game," "polarization," "actor description,"… [PDF]

Ann Blankenship-Knox; Leslie Ann Locke (2024). "A Bunch of Liberal, Nazi Communists": Equity-Oriented Educational Leaders' Response to the Anti-CRT Phenomenon in Iowa. Thresholds in Education, v47 n1 p88-102. On September 22, 2020, Donald Trump issued Executive Order 13950, titled "Combating Race and Sex Stereotyping." While the order has been revoked, as of May, 2022, 34 states, including Iowa (HF 802), had passed or were considering legislation prohibiting the use of critical lenses, such as Critical Race Theory, in public K-12 schools. In this study, we interviewed equity-oriented leaders in Iowa about how they are navigating HF 802, Iowa's "anti-CRT" law, while remaining committed to their work. Qualitative analyses revealed three significant themes titled: Leaders See the Critical Reality: White Supremacy; Informants and Attacks; and Leading, Navigating, and Subverting HF 802. Recommendations for leadership practice and policy change are included…. [PDF]

Carrillo-Vera, Jos√©-Agust√≠n; Gil-Torres, Alicia; G√≥mez-Garc√≠a, Salvador; Navarro-Sierra, Nuria (2019). Constructing Donald Trump: Mobile Apps in the Political Discourse about the President of the United States. Comunicar: Media Education Research Journal, v27 n59 p49-58. This paper explores the creation and content of apps about Donald Trump (n=412) published in Google Play between June 2015 and January 2018. The relevance of the study stems from both its objectives and its methodology. On the one hand, the aim was to characterise the profile, motivations and purposes of the developers of Donald Trump apps; and on the other, to identify the main features of the discourses in the most downloaded apps. The study relied on two resources: a qualitative questionnaire of open questions for developers (n=376), and a quantitative analysis of the content of apps that exceeded 5,000 downloads (n=117). The questionnaire identified the influence of political current affairs in the developers' ideological and economic motivations, while the content analysis revealed the trends found over time, as well as the themes, discourses and ideological positioning of the most popular apps about Donald Trump. The findings provide an empirical basis for how the content of… [PDF]

AlBzour, Baseel A. (2022). From Incitement to Indictment: Speech Acts of Donald Trump's Tweets in 2020 Presidential Elections. Advances in Language and Literary Studies, v13 n1 p1-6. In order to reveal how Donald Trump is crucially involved in inciting riot and instigating insurgency, this pragmatic study strictly investigates and analyzes Donald Trump's tweets over the past months that preceded the unprecedented mob attack on the Capitol in January the 6th to impede the Congress endorsement of the US presidential elections that resulted in Biden's victory. The analyses in this study mainly draw on Austin's (1962) Speech Act Theory and it's sub-versions of Searle's (1969) and the Subsequent taxonomy of Searle (1976). Although Twitter has been created to be a social media platform, Trump used it to run the US foreign and local affairs and policies during his four-year term in office. Due to the thematic limitations and diversity of those tweets, the researcher does not by any means intend to explore Trump's tweets during the first three years; rather, she primarily focuses on examining the last year because it has abundantly and crucially witnessed what Trump… [PDF]

Joon K. Kim; Kyung-Hwan Mo (2024). Racialized Outsiders: AAPI Lessons for South Korea's Multicultural Education. Multicultural Education Review, v16 n3 p192-207. This paper explores the historical experiences of Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) in the context of rising anti-Asian violence in the United States, exacerbated by former President Donald Trump's inflammatory rhetoric during the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing Herbert Blumer's group position theory and Gordon Allport's stages of prejudice, the study analyzes four key periods in AAPI history to reveal how they have been systematically marginalized and racialized as perpetual foreigners. The U.S. experience offers crucial insights for South Korea, which is undergoing significant demographic changes due to immigration. While the two countries differ in their historical and cultural contexts, both face challenges in integrating minority groups and preventing the entrenchment of social hierarchies. By adopting inclusive policies and promoting a more cohesive national identity, South Korea can avoid the pitfalls of systemic exclusion and build a more harmonious society…. [Direct]

Bonikowski, Bart; Luo, Yuchen; Stuhler, Oscar (2022). Politics as Usual? Measuring Populism, Nationalism, and Authoritarianism in U.S. Presidential Campaigns (1952-2020) with Neural Language Models. Sociological Methods & Research, v51 n4 p1721-1787 Nov. Radical-right campaigns commonly employ three discursive elements: anti-elite populism, exclusionary and declinist nationalism, and authoritarianism. Recent scholarship has explored whether these frames have diffused from radical-right to centrist parties in the latter's effort to compete for the former's voters. This study instead investigates whether similar frames had been used by mainstream political actors prior to their exploitation by the radical right (in the U.S., Donald Trump's 2016 and 2020 campaigns). To do so, we identify instances of populism, nationalism (i.e., exclusionary and inclusive definitions of national symbolic boundaries and displays of low and high national pride), and authoritarianism in the speeches of Democratic and Republican presidential nominees between 1952 and 2020. These frames are subtle, infrequent, and polysemic, which makes their measurement difficult. We overcome this by leveraging the affordances of neural language models–in particular, a… [Direct]

Journal of Latinos and Education, v23 n1 p163-175. US President Donald Trump promised and delivered radical changes to US immigration policies. This study examined the extent to which a sample of college students were affected by such changes and subsequent associations with psychological health. The study was a survey of 401 college students from a large Hispanic Serving Institution. A total of 71% of participants reported being at least "a little bit" affected by potential changes in US immigration policies, and 43% were affected "quite a bit" or "very much." Latinx people were significantly more affected than other ethnicities. Importantly, increases in being affected were significantly related to increases in depression, general distress, distress specific to immigration issues, financial stress, and insomnia. These findings suggest that the impact of potential and/or actual changes in US immigration policies may lead to a number of mental health consequences for college students, particularly Latinx… [Direct]

Bogotch, Ira (2017). Finding What Sustains You Professionally and Personally: A Response to the Election of Donald Trump. International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v30 n10 p1013-1018. For many US citizens, the election of Donald Trump was an event that will be etched into our collective psyche. As educational researchers, the challenge is how to prevent it from becoming an Event with a capital E. That almost 63 million US voters, many of whom have attended or graduated from public schools, supported Donald Trump makes the problem OUR problem. Thus, how to conduct more inclusive and expansive research is the first step followed by maintaining a sense of urgency so that we recommit to the ideals of public education without being distracted by noise of tweets and Executive orders. The essay offers professional and personal insights into promoting reflective dialogues…. [Direct]

Shekitka, John Patrick (2022). Teaching about Religions in the Social Studies Classroom: The Post-9/11 World and the Post-Truth Age as Superstructures. Journal of Research on Christian Education, v31 n1 p21-46. This article is drawn from a set of qualitative interviews and observations with practicing social studies teachers at three school sites, one public, one Catholic, and one Islamic, in a major metropolitan area of the United States of America, as they grapple with what it means to teach about religion in their social studies classrooms given the larger superstructures of American culture. This article analyzes two themes: (1) what it means to teach about religion, and particularly Islam, in the post-9/11 era and (2) what it meant to talk about religion in the post-truth age of the presidency of Donald Trump. Though the two events are unconnected at least at the surface level, they give us an understanding of how world-historical events enter into social studies classrooms in obvious ways, but also and in addition, more subtle and pervasive ones….

Allen, Ryan M.; Bista, Krishna (2022). Talented, yet Seen with Suspicion: Surveillance of International Students and Scholars in the United States. Journal of International Students, v12 n1 p175-194. The attacks of September 11, 2001, put terrorism at the forefront of the American political landscape. Donald Trump played into these fears of terrorism through his political rhetoric during his presidency, particularly targeting international students as "threats" to the nation. However, we argue that the labeling of international students as security threats was not started after 9/11 nor invented by Trump. Through historical records and accounts across decades of policies related to this issue, we seek to answer two questions: How has the U.S. government monitored visa policies and programs for international students? How have U.S. national policies evolved to view international students as national security threats? We found that mistrust of this population has been embedded throughout U.S. immigration history and that federal tracking policies emerged incrementally from long-held security concerns. The essay closes with a discussion on why the entire population of… [PDF]

Easter, Nicholas (2021). Leading When You Can't Breathe: A Memoir. Schools: Studies in Education, v18 n1 p33-42 Spr. In March 2020, schools along with businesses across the United States began to shut down as a result of COVID-19. In addition, the slayings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor would spark civil unrest during the polarizing election year with President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden on a crash course to be elected as the commander in chief of a divided nation. The following memoir centers my experience as a Black man in my first official year as a vice principal during this arduous period.

Yoder, Paul J. (2020). "He Wants to Get Rid of All the Muslims": Mexican American and Muslim Students' Use of History Regarding Candidate Trump. Theory and Research in Social Education, v48 n3 p346-374. This study employs a multiple case study approach to examine the use of history of Mexican American and Muslim middle school students vis-√ -vis Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. The findings suggest the participants used historical examples of discrimination to contextualize candidate Trump's rhetoric and to bolster their identities as both immigrants and Americans. Their cases provide important evidence of the ways in which marginalized youth can use history as a source of resilience and resistance. The findings add to the literature on use of history as an analytic and pedagogical tool and suggest that social studies educators are uniquely positioned to support students through confronting political trauma….

Krawrungruang, Kunyaluck; Yaoharee, Ornkanya (2018). The Use of Personal Pronoun in Political Discourse: A Case Study of the Final 2016 United States Presidential Election Debate. rEFLections, v25 n1 p85-96 Jan-Jun. This study aims to investigate the use of personal pronouns in political speeches made by Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton in the 2016 US Presidential Election Debates. The focus is on uses of the first personal pronouns 'we' and 'I' as strategies to express persuasive messages and political ideologies especially the inclusion and exclusion of the participants' 'self' and 'group' reference. The data were selected from the TV broadcasted American Presidential Debate between Mr. Donald Trump and Mrs. Hillary Clinton on October 19, 2016. Textual and discourse analysis were adopted in order to examine in what context each first personal pronoun was used in the speeches. The findings reveal that the occurrences of the pronouns 'we' and 'I' in the speeches of both participants differ and the uses of each pronoun in certain contexts also differ significantly. The different pronominal choices in different contexts in the debates express differences in the persuasive strategies and political… [PDF]

McCorkle, William; Montezuma, Jessie (2022). The Relationship between Beliefs in Free Markets, Nationalism, and Immigration: Implications for Social Studies Educators. Journal of Social Studies Education Research, v13 n3 p1-30. The ideas of free markets and less government regulation were associated at the turn of the 20th Century with a more internationalist approach and, at times, even more openness to immigration. Some of these dynamics have shifted particularly with the rise of a more populist economic message with leaders like Donald Trump. This study examines the relationship between free markets and immigration as well as examining the role of nationalism in this relationship. The findings show that there is a negative relationship between more free-market ideas and more inclusive ideas towards immigration though the relationship was not statistically significant when controlling for other variables. The implications of this incongruence in beliefs about the idea of free markets and the role of government are discussed with particular attention to the changing political dynamics within the United States. Furthermore, attention is given to the implications of this relationship for social studies… [PDF]

Myers, Casey Y. (2022). "Play with Me or I'll Break Your Arm": Giant Babies, Philosophy, and Images. Global Studies of Childhood, v12 n3 p224-234 Sep. With the "Donald Trump Baby Balloon" as a provocation, this work utilizes philosophy as a method and cinema-as/in-philosophy to multi-modally interrogate the particular images of giant babies. Deleuze and Guattari's conceptions of molarity and molecularity and Bakhtin's conception of grotesque bodily images are put to work alongside several cinematic portrayals of giant babies and their social material contexts, including the animated fantasy "Spirited Away," the family comedy "Honey, I Blew Up the Kid," the independent short "Las Palmas," and the Disney-Pixar superhero franchise "Incredibles." Within this constellation of images and texts, the giant baby emerges as a specific entanglement of developmentalism, humanism, and neoliberalism. Furthermore, the ways in which images of giant babies materialize particular notions of monstrosity, consumption, and destruction might disrupt some commonsense notions of time and bodies. This kind… [Direct]

Robson, Jenny (2022). Unsettling the Trump Baby: Learning from Values and Pedagogy in the Early Childhood Nursery. Global Studies of Childhood, v12 n3 p288-296 Sep. The 2018 anti-Trump protest in London is dominated by an effigy, in the form of a balloon, that morphs President Donald Trump and childhood. Whilst this can be interpreted as a humorous act to ridicule Trump, a critical reading of the scene through a postmodern lens suggests that the image is an appropriation and manipulation of childhood. Trump masquerading as a baby becomes the 'vagabond' who is denied citizenship; she is a focus for negativity and fears, symbolising the values of hate and intolerance. The Trump Baby is vexing in the way it obscures knowledge of the agentic and competent child known within the nursery. The protesters exercise power as they mock and humiliate the Trump Baby in the protest and on social media. Such actions legitimatise hostile acts against children and prompt questions about the interdependency between children and adults in the both the construction of values and the realisation of children's citizenship. This paper considers a range of positions… [Direct]

Lathrop, Benjamin; Wessel Powell, Christy (2022). "We Shall Take Their Children Away and Rear Them to the Fatherland": A Critical Discourse Analysis of a "Parent Advocacy" Group. Journal of Language and Literacy Education, v18 n2 Fall. The rise of right-wing populism, embodied in the figure of Donald Trump, has been characterized by conspiracy theories, "fake news," and other forms of mis- and disinformation in what has been described as a "post-truth" era. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this problem, and national conflicts around appropriate content, methods, and modes of schooling often involved disinformation circulated in school board meetings and other local contexts during the 2021-2022 school year. In this study, we adopt a critical literacy lens and take up the tools of discourse analysis to examine the rhetoric of post-truth, conspiracy-oriented groups opposed to public health mandates, critical race theory (CRT), and social emotional learning (SEL) in public schools. Our discourse analysis of Purple for Parents Indiana (P4PI), a local advocacy group, suggests that P4PI and similar groups are engaging in "cosmetic criticality," a project superficially resembling critical… [PDF]

Robinson, Robert P. (2021). Teaching Black Lives amidst Black Death: Reflections from a Black Visiting Professor. Journal of Effective Teaching in Higher Education, v4 n2 p99-117. In this essay the author addresses the struggles of teaching a special topics course, Black Freedom Movement Education, in the midst of a global pandemic and Donald Trump's proposed ban on anti-racist training and critical race theory. The educator framed the course under the conceptual lens of stealin' the meetin'–a Black Antebellum practice of creating otherwise literacy practices under repressive circumstances. This form of educational resistance continued beyond enslavement as Black communities used the resources available to educate each other by any means necessary (Robinson, 2020). On a smaller scale, this class carried on the resistance through critical metacognitive engagement with Black education history. The author discusses how he navigated the course when, less than halfway through the quarter, a Black man was killed and burned in a trench. Using emails, lecture notes, student evaluations, texts, and reflections, the author shares vignettes of tension, Black affinity,… [PDF]

Allyson Miller (2024). How the Changes in Title IX Guidance Shape Higher Education Institutions' Liability in Federal Court Cases, 2000-2022: A Content Analysis. ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Florida Atlantic University. In this qualitative study, 21 Title IX federal court cases between 2000-2022 were examined. The purpose of this analysis was to explore how the changes in Title IX guidance across President George W. Bush (R), President Barack Obama (D), and President Donald Trump (R) administrations have impacted higher education institutional liability lawsuits. Guided by content analysis and the power-conscious framework, three research questions were asked: (1) How have the Title IX policy changes under the Bush, Obama, and Trump U.S. presidential administrations impacted higher education institutional liability lawsuits? (2) What specific Title IX requirements within the Bush, Obama, and Trump U.S. presidential administrations are higher education institutions being held liable for violating? (3) How effective is the Title IX guidance under the Bush, Obama, and Trump U.S. presidential administrations at reducing institutional liability? Four themes emerged from this study: (1) Increase in Title… [Direct]

Hypolite, Liane I.; Stewart, Ashley M. (2021). A Critical Discourse Analysis of Institutional Responses to the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election. Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, v14 n1 p1-11 Mar. The 2016 U.S. presidential election brought to light longstanding tensions and bigotry across the country that were further exacerbated when Donald Trump won the presidency on November 8th. While college and university leaders have traditionally refrained from commenting on election results, looming concerns of possible campus protests and external pressures sparked institutional responses. This study considers an analysis of these responses including 48 statements from 28 public and private colleges and universities throughout the nation. Using critical discourse analysis, the authors find that despite seemingly inclusive language, most higher education leaders used symbolic discourse that preserved existing power structures rather than employing transformative language that could lead to materialized, actionable support for the students most impacted by divisive campaign rhetoric as well as the laws and policies that have followed. As politically marginalized students are impacted… [Direct]

Seilstad, Brian David (2021). Educating Adolescent Newcomers in the Superdiverse Midwest: Multilingual Students in English-Centric Contexts. Multilingual Matters This book juxtaposes superdiversity with the reality of English-centricity in the United States, set against the long-standing challenges regarding migration and language policy in the US, most recently underlined by Donald Trump's 2016 election win and subsequent aggressive and partially successful attempts to limit migration. The book explores the history, policies, and practices of an adolescent newcomer program in Central Ohio, in the US Midwest, that seeks to provide an equitable and engaging education to its students. It addresses, on the one hand, positive, progressive institutional responses, including an embrace of translanguaging and a willingness to acknowledge and build on students' languacultural backgrounds. On the other hand, the book explores the effects of inconsistent, inefficient and sometimes nonsensical patterns in these responses. The book analyzes student outcomes and argues that, although some students are well-served by the program, tensions in the program… [Direct]

Ward, Sophie (2021). Education at the End of History: A Response to Francis Fukuyama. Educational Philosophy and Theory, v53 n2 p160-170. By 1989, fascism had long been defeated in Europe, and reforms in the Soviet Union appeared to signify the collapse of communist ideology, prompting Francis Fukuyama to famously declare the 'end of history'. Since then, neoliberalism has been rolled out globally. This paper argues that, with regard to higher education, Fukuyama's claim that the pursuit of knowledge will be replaced by the 'satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands' is prescient. What, then, prompted Fukuyama to qualify his predictions in 2018? Citing both the turmoil of Brexit and the election of Donald Trump, Fukuyama blames identity politics for the breakdown of consensus over what the nation is, or should be, and suggests that the promotion of creedal identity might rescue Western democracy from populism. This paper disagrees: using the examples of Brexit and the promotion of Fundamental British Values in schools, it argues that creedal identity has become another expression of populism. Rejecting the claim… [Direct]

Lebr√≥n, Mariana J. (2018). Power to Influence Leadership Perceptions and Innovatively Challenge the Status Quo: President Donald Trump and Social Activism. Journal of Leadership Education, v17 n2 p92-113 Apr. Daring to challenge the status quo impacts innovation. Yet, successful outcomes depend on individual risk-taking and choice to influence others to support new ideas. This "Challenging the Status Quo" exercise illustrates how leaders use power and influencing tactics to challenge norms by analyzing Donald Trump's journey as the 45th U.S. President to defy experts and successfully influence followers to support his non-traditional candidacy: businessman lacking political experience becoming leader of the free world. Through integrating videoclips and polls, instructors make power visible, relevant, and thought-provoking as students apply power theory and influencing tactics perspectives to analyze (a) how leaders impact followers' perceptions, (b) students mutual-influencing strategies, (c) power's relationship with social identity and privilege, and (d) social impact on innovation via activism and free speech….

In this article, we describe our efforts to center critical and Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) scholarship and to better align our curriculum with the experiences of students of color. While we have drawn from feminist and critical race theories, we have also borrowed concepts from literatures not typically associated with antiracism work, such as policy implementation and leadership/management. We present our ongoing work as a case study of, and methodology for, systematic social work curriculum change to promote racial equity and justice…. [Direct]

Binder, Amy J.; Kidder, Jeffrey L. (2022). Higher Education for American Democracy and the Channels of Student Activism. Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, v54 n1 p33-40. Released in the wake of postwar concerns over European totalitarianism, "Higher Education for American Democracy" offered a blueprint for a more socially inclusive college experience–one that could help bolster informed and thoughtful civic participation throughout the nation. Much of the six-volume report commissioned by President Harry Truman proved prescient in transforming colleges and universities in the United States over the second half of the 20th century. Taking the massification envisioned by Higher Education for American Democracy as the backdrop, Jeffrey Kidder and Amy Binder reveal how collegiate activism is shaped through two broadly opposing channels (progressive vs. conservatism) that steer students into divergent types of political mobilization and bring them into contact with different social and organizational networks. Their analysis relies primarily on semistructured interviews with 77 politically engaged college students conducted in the fall of 2017… [Direct]

Early Adolescent Critical Consciousness Development in the Age of Trump. Journal of Adolescent Research, v35 n3 p279-308 May. Political elections have been shown to influence youth civic development. The election of Donald Trump is historic and has elevated precarity for people of color and immigrants, yet we know little about how young people with these identities experienced this potentially catalytic event. Using ethnographic methods, we examined youth and adult discussions that occurred during youth participatory action research in four sites of one after-school program between October 2016 and May 2017, to investigate how the development of critical consciousness occurs among early adolescent youth of color in the context of catalyzing political events. We identified emergent patterns in how young people (a) engaged in critical reflection, (b) weighed political efficacy, and (c) considered engagement in critical action in the wake of Trump's election. The data revealed that young people's critical consciousness development ranged from basic to advanced levels. This research highlights the ways that… [Direct]

International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v30 n10 p994-998. In this essay, we specifically focus our attention on Donald Trump's perspective of the conditions of schools that Black children attend. The fact remains that as a presidential candidate, he verbalized stereotypical notions that many people hold about the conditions of schools that Black children attend. Thus, the purpose of this essay is to interrupt dangerous stereotypes that often go unchallenged because they are the unspoken norm for mainstream America. Our response is framed by our positionality as Black mother educators. The complex intersection of these identities require us to think deeply about the implications of a Trump administration on the lives of Black children…. [Direct]

Karl Benziger (2023). "History Teaching, National Myths, and Civil Society". Hungarian Educational Research Journal, v13 n4 p502-514. One of the critical issues facing Historians today has been the emergence of Strong State regimes and the politicized pseudo history they produce in countries claiming to adhere to democratic norms. The attack on the Capital of the United States was based on a series of lies about voter fraud supported by President Donald Trump and members of Congress. Countering ideology based on a complete disregard for truth is now of paramount importance in the United States. This paper studies Trump's promise to Make America Great Again (MAGA) as a further evolution of Lost Cause mythos that began after the Civil War. The original story casts the enfranchisement of African Americans as a failure touting white supremacy and the righteousness of Jim Crow laws. How can History teachers counter these highly politicized myths? I suggest that the methodology of our profession may provide us with some important tools.

Cohen, Michael Ian (2021). Education Populism? A Corpus-Driven Analysis of Betsy Devos's Education Policy Discourse. Education Policy Analysis Archives, v29 n16 Feb. Scholars of political economy have raised the question of whether recent populist movements around the world signal the decline of neoliberal hegemony. What would such a decline mean for education policy, an arena that has been dominated by a neoliberal common sense for several decades? This study investigates the policy discourse of former U.S. President Donald Trump's Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, in order to assess the extent to which it aligns with the neoliberal common sense or draws upon discourses of populism that have been gaining traction in the last few years. Using methods of corpus linguistics, I engage in a critical discourse analysis of 59 of DeVos's public speeches delivered between 2017 and 2019 in comparison with a reference corpus of speeches delivered by DeVos's predecessors in the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations. The findings, informed by Ernesto Laclau's theory of populism as political logic and discourse, suggest that DeVos deploys several… [PDF]

Turner, Patrick; Zepeda, Efren Miranda (2023). Navigating White Waters: Generation Z Untraditional College Transition Amid Unprecedented Social, Health, and Academic Crisis. Higher Education Studies, v13 n2 p87-105. Over the last three years, crises of a historical magnitude have had a profound impact on the higher education system in the U.S. During the spring of March 2020, COVID-19, referred to as the coronavirus, caused a significant health crisis, killing hundreds of thousands of people, while disrupting the educational, economic, and health system (Gupta, 2021). The following year, a 46-year-old black man, George Floyd, was brutally murdered by a white police officer, sparking violent protests and debate around racial equity, policing, and justice. A toxic and polarizing political environment further complicated issues under the controversial leadership of President Donald Trump. Colleges and universities had to quickly pivot to remote instruction, enforce mask mandates, and carefully navigate discourse to minimize disruption to the education of students. The adjustment was challenging for most institutions, particularly those classified as Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) or Minority… [PDF]

Manninen, Bertha Alvarez; Mulder, Jack, Jr. (2019). The Philosophy of Conversation: We Owe It to Our Students to Teach Them How to Disagree. Liberal Education, v105 n1 Win. The authors, Bertha Alvarez Manninen, a pro-choice associate professor of philosophy at Arizona State University, and Jack Mulder Jr., a pro-life professor of philosophy at Hope College in Michigan have argued with each other since graduate school about abortion and other issues, while respecting each other's stances and friendship. In the current political climate, however, they have become exhausted with the increasing polarization as divisions on political values that reached record levels during Barack Obama's presidency have only continued to grow since Donald Trump took office. In this article, they present the importance of teaching students how to disagree. A conversation between the two is presented about not just agreeing to disagree but allowing each other to see an argument from another person's point of view…. [Direct]

Matsushita, Kayo (2020). Reporting Quotable yet Untranslatable Speech: Observations of Shifting Practices by Japanese Newspapers from Obama to Trump. AILA Review, v33 n1 p157-175 Oct. When a newsmaker (i.e., a newsworthy subject) is speaking or being spoken about in a foreign language, quoting requires translation. In such "translingual quoting" (Haapanen, 2017), it is not only the content of the speech but also its translatability that determines newsworthiness. While news media in some countries prefer indirect quotation, Japanese media favor direct quotes (Matsushita, 2019). This practice yields relatively clear source text (ST)-target text (TT) relationships in translingual quoting, especially when a political speech is directly quoted by newspapers, offering abundant data for news translation research (Matsushita, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2019). However, this research approach has been challenged by the rise of a public figure known for making headlines with his extemporaneous remarks: US President Donald J. Trump. Translingual quoting of Trump in the non-English media has proven at times a "nearly impossible quest" (Lichfield, 2016) because of… [Direct]

Jingxia, Liu; Rui, Zhai (2018). The Study on the Interpersonal Meanings of Modality in Micro-Blogging English News Discourse by the Case of "Donald Trump's Muslim Entry Ban". Advances in Language and Literary Studies, v9 n2 p110-118 Apr. News is a kind of writing style, which is so valuable that many linguists choose it to study. This thesis aims to conduct a systemic analysis of modality type, value and orientation under the framework of Halliday's Systemic-functional Grammar in order to explore the interpersonal meanings of modality in English news discourse. The research data is drawn from microblogging official platforms, among which 20 pieces of news discourse in all are selected to establish a small type of corpus. All the 20 pieces of news discourse are taken from the microblogging in 1.20 to 2.20 of 2017. All the news is about "Donald Trump's Muslim Entry Ban" (A ban made by Donald Trump, which claimed that Muslim can't enter America). Meanwhile, both qualitative and quantitative research methods are adopted to discover the distribution of modality in micro-blogging news discourse and its interpersonal meanings, and hence to deepen people's cognition and understanding on micro-blogging news… [PDF]

Croffie, Alexis L.; Garcia, Hugo; Li, Xinyang; Louis, Sarah; L√©rtora, Ian; McNaughtan, Elisabeth D.; McNaughtan, Jon (2018). Contentious Dialogue: University Presidential Response and the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election. Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, v40 n6 p533-549. In recent years, technology has made it possible, and at times critical, for college and university presidents to increase their campus-wide public communication. However, there is little research that analyses these frequent and timely presidential communications. Using grounded theory, this study took steps to fill this gap by analysing the unprecedented response campuses had to the 2016 United States presidential election of Donald Trump. The analysis focused on the responses of presidents from the fifty state flagship universities and found emergent themes of unity, contentious election, negative event, university values, civil dialogue, services offered, and emotional rhetoric, while also finding significance in whether the letters were sent proactively or reactively….

Zhu, Hongqiang (2020). Countering COVID-19-Related Anti-Chinese Racism with Translanguaged Swearing on Social Media. Multilingua: Journal of Cross-Cultural and Interlanguage Communication, v39 n5 p607-616 Sep. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has generated a spectacular rise in social media communication and an unprecedented avalanche of global conversation. This paper traces the emergence of the racist term "Chinese virus" used by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, on the Western social media platform Twitter and its reception and recontextualization on Chinese social media. Creative bilingual responses fusing English and Chinese resulted in a popular searchable meme "#[foreign characters omitted]#" ("#Chinglish used for cross-cultural communication#"), on Weibo, a Chinese social media platform. Such linguistic creativity involves a variation of swears to mock and condemn the racist phrase. Formally, linguistic practices such as self-coinage, transliteration, verbal repetition, and acronyms can be observed. Functionally, the recontexualizations evidence a defensive ideology linked to nationalism and modernism. Ultimately, combatting the… [Direct]

Montoya, Roberto; Sarcedo, Geneva L. (2018). Critical Race Parenting in the Trump Era: A Sisyphean Endeavor? A Parable. International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v31 n1 p70-81. This article examines the complicated decisions parents make when they decide to raise critically conscious children. The article argues that critical parenting in US society is often analogous to the Greek myth of Sisyphus. Using Critical Race Parenting, Critical Race Theory, and Critical Whiteness Studies, this critically interpretive parable looks to the election of Donald Trump as US President and the ways whiteness, patriarchy, sexism, xenophobia, ableism, and racism function in social, cultural, economic, and educational spheres. This parable tells the story of Sue Libertad and analyzes how parenting in the era of Trump is Sisyphean. This concludes with a discussion of the importance of talking about race, racism, and heterosexism with our children, which disrupts whiteness, sexism, and patriarchy, and ultimately Trump and his administration….

Resistance, Solidarity, and Sisterhood in the Age of Trump: Images from the Women's March in Washington, D.C. Critical Inquiry in Language Studies, v18 n1 p85-103. On Saturday, January 21, 2017, the day after the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States, there was an impressive Women's March in Washington, D.C., the nation's capital. The guiding vision and definition of principles of the Women's March equated Women's Rights with Human Rights and called for the liberation of "Black women, Native Women, poor women, immigrant women, disabled women, Muslim women, Lesbian, queer and, trans women," whose perspectives had too often been ignored or excluded from the predominately white mainstream women's movement in the past. The demonstration represented a massive intergenerational protest of women, transgendered, and men from 50 states who, having donned their hand-made knitted and crocheted pink pussy hats, gathered to brandish their posters such as "Asian Pacific Islander Queers from San Francisco," "Science is REAL," "Take your BROKEN HEART and make ART."

Rubin, James (2018). The Trump Candidacy: Implications for Curriculum. Interchange: A Quarterly Review of Education, v49 n2 p153-160 May. The popular attraction of Donald Trump has been a conundrum for many educators who have tried to understand the rationale behind his support. This article presents a philosophical argument for what this implies for curriculum design and the intellectual temperament of the populace. There has been much written about the purpose of education to prepare students to be knowledgeable participants in the democratic process to further the best interests of the country. The foundational skills of critical thinking are an integral component of that process, and should be reevaluated for how they fit into the current curriculum model. Suggestions for how to integrate critical thinking within the traditional school day are presented, along with the rationale for doing so…. [Direct]

The central argument of the article is that Donald Trump's candidacy emerges from a new strategy: branding. The author explores the decade prior to Trump's rise and his political forebears, as well as consults critical marketing and television studies to explain how Trump has been able to secure the nomination of the Republican Party despite having little institutional support. Instead, Trump's rise, like that of Sarah Palin and others can be attributed to the use of social media to brand their personalities as political outsiders to establishment politics…. [Direct]

Huber, Lindsay P√©rez, Ed.; Mu√±oz, Susana M., Ed. (2021). Why They Hate Us: How Racist Rhetoric Impacts Education. Teachers College Press This book examines how racist political rhetoric has created damaging and dangerous conditions for Students of Color in schools and higher education institutions throughout the United States. The authors show how the election of the 45th president has resulted in a defining moment in U.S. history where racist discourses, reinforced by ideologies of white supremacy, have affected the educational experiences of our most vulnerable students. This volume situates the rhetoric of the Trump presidency within a broader historical narrative and provides recommendations for those who seek to advocate for anti-racism and social justice. As we enter the uncharted waters of a global pandemic and national racial reckoning, this will be invaluable reading for scholars, educators, and administrators who want to be part of the solution. The book features: (1) Uses Donald Trump's presidency as a case study to show how and why racist rhetoric can be used to mobilize large numbers of U.S. voters; (2)… [Direct]

Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, v17 spec iss 2 p752-772. The present study offers a novel methodology for corpus-based discourse analysis that combines Kenneth Burke's (1968, 1969) dramatistic method of text analysis and the corpus techniques of keyword extraction and concordance reading. Applying the methodology, a two-stage analysis of Donald Trump's 2016 Orlando speech has been conducted: First, at a micro level, (i) the keywords used by Trump were identified in his speech as compared against the historical reference corpus of US Presidents through WordSmith Tools (Scott, 2012), and (ii) Trump's keyword lexical structures were described and interpreted in the pentadic ratios rhetorically motivated by the "terministic screens" that select and deflect representations of the gay-nightclub-shooting event in the speech; second, at a macro level, the process of substantiating the whole speech event of Orlando was implemented in terms of the different types of substance — geometric, familial, and directional — recognized in the… [PDF]

Anderson, Derek L.; Zyhowski, Joni (2018). Teaching Trump: A Case Study of Two Teachers and the Election of 2016. Social Studies, v109 n2 p101-111. This case study investigated how two 8th-grade teachers planned for, delivered, and reflected on their teaching of the 2016 Presidential Election. Data sources included classroom observations, teacher interviews, and lesson plans. Despite integrating student-centered lessons about the election with social and political events in US History from 1792-1861, one teacher, Ms. Smith, struggled to navigate burgeoning issues that galvanized students. During the six-week unit, both teachers maintained neutral positions on the candidates; however, after the election, Ms. Smith allowed her disdain for Donald Trump to seep into her teaching. Because exigent political events, such as presidential elections, hold great potential to accelerate students' political socialization, more needs to be learned about how teachers do and should manage the teaching of controversial issues in the social classroom….

Rosenzweig, Adam (2017). Understanding and Undermining Fake News from the Classroom. Berkeley Review of Education, v7 n1 p105-112 Jan. It's too soon to know what will define Donald Trump's presidency, but one of the defining characteristics of his campaign was a near-total disregard for facts. According to PolitiFact ("Donald Trump's file," n.d.), about 70% of Trump's statements have been either mostly false, completely false, or outright lies. Candidate Trump wasn't the only one dealing in dishonesty, but the ubiquity of falsehood surrounding his election contributed to the Oxford Dictionaries naming "post-truth" its 2016 Word of the Year. Fake news (Drobnic Holan, 2016) might be the most pernicious form of post-truth. PolitiFact called fake news its Lie of the Year, pointing out that fake news is "the boldest sign of a post-truth society" (para. 12) and that it "found a willing enabler in Trump" (para. 8). Americans should perceive this phenomenon as an existential threat to democracy. What truths remain self-evident if truth itself becomes counterfeit? A post-truth society… [PDF]

International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v30 n10 p912-919. In this article, we explore and conceptualize "counterwork" in education as a critical element for resistance and progressive social change in the era of Donald Trump's presidency. We first discuss education in the context of a Trump-DeVos administration, and how this milieu necessitates activist research and counterwork. Grounded in a sense of critical hope and part of a larger anti-hegemonic project, we describe our conceptualization of counterwork in education as unfinishedness and the critical imagination, human agency, and transformational resistance for liberation. This approach to education is committed to sustaining an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and a critical social justice agenda in education across the P-20 spectrum… [Direct]

Giroux, Henry A. (2018). What Is the Role of Higher Education in Authoritarian Times?. Scottish Educational Review, v50 n1 p3-17. Donald Trump's ascendancy in American politics has made visible a plague of deep-seated civic illiteracy, a corrupt political system, and a contempt for reason that has been decades in the making; it also points to the withering of civic attachments, the undoing of civic culture, the decline of public life, and the erosion of any sense of shared citizenship. Galvanizing his base of true-believers in post-election demonstrations, the world is witnessing how a politics of bigotry and hate is transformed into a spectacle of fear, divisions, and disinformation. Under President Trump, the scourge of mid-20th century authoritarianism has returned not only in the menacing plague of populist rallies, fear-mongering, hate, and humiliation, but also in an emboldened culture of war, militarization, and violence that looms over society like a rising storm. This article looks at the role of higher education in authoritarian times…. [Direct]

They reflect on their schooling experiences across countries, and how these challenges are compounded when they are new to learning in Spanish or indigenous languages in Mexico…. [Direct]

Abdullah, Nesaem Mehdi; Darweesh, Abbas Degan (2016). A Critical Discourse Analysis of Donald Trump's Sexist Ideology. Journal of Education and Practice, v7 n30 p87-95. Language is not always seen as a neutral vehicle which represents reality. It is sometimes described as a tool which is drawn on to discriminate, insult, abuse, and belittle others. This is evident in the case of sexism which is seen as language that discriminates against women by representing them negatively or which seems to implicitly assume that activities primarily associated with women are necessarily trivial. Thus, language is described as a potential that is drawn on strategically by sexists to devalue or marginalize women. The current paper is a critical discourse analysis of Donald Trump's negative evaluation of women. It sheds light on his sexist ideology to negatively represent and underestimate women. It aims to investigate the structural, lexical, and rhetorical strategies that are utilized for this purpose. For this end, the researcher will analyze some of Trump's opinions concerning women in different occasions drawing upon an eclectic model adopted from Mill's (2008)… [PDF]

Read, Barbara (2018). Truth, Masculinity and the Anti-Elitist Backlash against the University in the Age of Trump. Teaching in Higher Education, v23 n5 p593-605. The global rise of 'neo-populism', culminating in the election of the populist Republican candidate Donald Trump to the US presidency, has been accompanied by a notable backlash and resistance to what has been categorised as governing/dominating 'elites', including HE academic institutions. Populist critiques centre on a perceived climate of censorship on campus in the name of 'political correctness'. In this paper I examine some of the arguments put forward by proponents and detractors in these debates, utlising some examples from empirical data from a study of online student newspaper posts in 2016 and 2017 from campuses in the US and the UK. In doing so I will be exploring the ways in which the debates are underpinned by distinct gendered, classed and 'raced' discourses that are linked not only to differing conceptions of 'truth' but also the nature and purpose of learning in the university itself….

Barley, Ruth (2022). 'He Wasn't Nice to Our Country': Children's Discourses about the 'Glocalized' Nature of Political Events in the Global North. Global Studies of Childhood, v12 n2 p147-158 Jun. The accessibility of new media combined with emerging patterns of migration are challenging current definitions of community as we see a shift from close-knit face-to-face interactions to more diverse 'glocalized' networks that defines community as a social rather than a spatial dimension. These changes mean that social connections, and fundamentally a person's sense of belonging, have moved beyond a local neighbourhood to depend upon global networks. This was the case for the children in the current longitudinal ethnographic study that followed one class in a diverse primary school in the north of England every 2 years from their Reception year to Year 6. This article draws upon data collected while the children were in Year 6, aged 10 to 11.

Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, v20 n4 p350-362 Dec. On 8 November 2016, Donald Trump was elected President of the United States. During his campaign, Trump put on display long held sexist, racist, and bigoted views on women; people of color; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning/queer, intersex peoples, and Others. Media coverage in the U.S. and around the world was not limited to news cycles intended for adult audiences only.

McNaughtan, Elisabeth Day; McNaughtan, Jon (2019). Engaging Election Contention: Understanding Why Presidents Engage with Contentious Issues. Higher Education Quarterly, v73 n2 p198-217 Apr. In recent years, technology has made it possible, and in some ways critical, for college and university presidents to increase campus-wide communication. Following the 2016 US presidential election, many college presidents across the country sent campus-wide communications in response to the election, while others chose not to respond. The resulting reactions from campus and community stakeholders to these communications, or the lack of communication, from presidents was mixed due to the contentious nature of the election. In an effort to better understand a president's decision to communicate, this study utilised coded interviews with 12 US flagship institution presidents or vice-presidents for communication, providing insight into why presidents generally respond to contentious events and, more specifically, why presidents chose to respond to the 2016 election of Donald Trump. Four motivations that generally influenced presidential communications were identified (i.e.,… [Direct]

Harvard Educational Review, v89 n2 p251-276 Sum. With the rise of nationalism and the current contentious debate on immigration in the US, school leaders and educators are faced with difficult questions about how to negotiate sensitive political topics, including debates on immigration. In this article, Reva Jaffe-Walter, Chandler Patton Miranda, and Stacey J. Lee explore how educators grapple with the political policies and discourses surrounding immigration with marginalized students who are the subject of those politics. Drawing on research from two US schools exclusively serving recently arrived immigrant students, the authors explore how educators negotiate the teaching of immigration politics during two different time periods, in 2013 during the Obama era "Dreamer" movement and in early 2017 after the inauguration of Donald Trump. They consider how the unique conditions of each political context inform educators' strategies for "teaching into" political events and supporting their immigrant and… [Direct]

Michelson, Elana (2019). The Ethical Knower: Rethinking Our Pedagogy in the Age of Trump. Adult Education Quarterly: A Journal of Research and Theory, v69 n2 p142-156 May. This article seeks to begin a conversation about pedagogical responses to the current moment. Specifically, I argue that two of adult learning's most venerated practices–transformative learning and the use of personal narrative–are insufficiently nuanced to respond effectively to the political divisions and the epistemological chaos represented by the election of Donald Trump. I ask the adult learning community, first, to revisit the role of culture in our systems for making meaning and deepen our understanding of the relationship between personal identity, community membership, and attitudinal change. I then suggest that our focus on attitudinal change encourages us overlook aspects of our students' lives out of which a more bracing pedagogy might emerge. I make a case for distinguishing between the "hermeneutic" self-awareness cultivated in transformative learning and attention to "epistemological" ethics as a response to "fake news" and… [Direct]

Rabin, Colette; Smith, Grinell (2018). "Get the Mexican": Attending to the Moral Work of Teaching in Fraught Times. Schools: Studies in Education, v15 n1 p98-121 Spr. This article details a four-faceted approach we developed to help structure discourse about topics in partisan arenas, many of which intersect with issues of equity and social justice. The article's narrative centers on challenging and emotionally charged discussions that unfolded in a classroom management class in our teacher preparation program on November 9, 2016, the day following the election of Donald Trump. We offer the approach, which centers on addressing cognitive biases common in partisan discourse, as a robust, straightforward, and nontechnocratic way to help teachers (both teacher preparation instructors and teachers of children) mediate partisan discussions among their students and to help them situate their personal beliefs within a professional context. When practiced well, the approach invites discussants to engage fully and authentically with ideas even when discourse threatens to become fractious and can help students who may disagree actually hear one another,… [Direct]

Reiss, Michael J.; Scaramanga, Jonny (2018). Accelerated Christian Education: A Case Study of the Use of Race in Voucher-Funded Private Christian Schools. Journal of Curriculum Studies, v50 n3 p333-351. President Donald Trump has promised an expansion of voucher programs for private schools in the United States. Private Christian schools are likely beneficiaries of such an expansion, but little research has been conducted about the curricula they use or their suitability for public funds. This article describes and critiques the depiction of race in Accelerated Christian Education, a curriculum used in some voucher-funded schools in the United States, as well as in private schools in 140 countries. It employs content analysis and qualitative documentary analysis of the curriculum workbooks, and builds on Christian Smith and Michael Emerson's theoretical framework of white evangelicals' 'cultural toolkit' to explain the ideas about race in the curriculum. The paper finds that in addition to some overt racism, the system promulgates a worldview which does not have the capacity to recognize or oppose systemic injustice. It is argued that such a curriculum is not a suitable recipient of… [Direct]

McCorkle, William (2018). The Rationale and Strategies for Undermining Xenophobia in the Classroom. Social Studies, v109 n3 p151-166. In the last few years, xenophobic rhetoric and policies have sharply increased across the world and is especially apparent in the rise of far right political parties in Europe, the Brexit vote in Great Britain, and the election of Donald Trump in the United States. In these times, teachers have a responsibility to stand for values of inclusion and justice and be a voice of reason among the growing angst and fear-based policy decisions. This article explores the theoretical rationale for taking this position in the classroom in relation to the purpose of education, promoting the good of all students, and creating a classroom environment based on critical thinking and a strong analysis of current cultural and political trends. The article then looks at practical ways teachers can deconstruct this xenophobia in the classroom through instructional practices, creating a welcoming classroom environment, and curricular choices. Although these concepts are applicable in all subject areas,… [Direct]

Santamar√≠a Graff, Cristina C. (2017). "Build That Wall!": Manufacturing the Enemy, yet Again. International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v30 n10 p999-1005. The 2016 presidential campaign and the election of Donald Trump has amplified divisive anti-immigrant sentiment and has further positioned "Mexicans as enemy." Trump's "Build That Wall!" declarative has stoked nativist ire through manufactured narratives that rarely, if ever, consider the United States government's role in the increase of undocumented immigrants residing in our country. In this essay, the author connects the current administration's anti-immigrant, anti-Mexican proposals to historical legislation that, cloaked under the guise of "national security" or a return to "American values," has aimed to maintain White hegemony. Additionally, the author examines anti-Mexican narratives that aim to criminalize Mexican immigrants' behaviors to justify imperialistic and unjust policies that further serve dominant-White political elites and their constituents….

Courtney, Steven J. (2018). Privatising Educational Leadership through Technology in the Trumpian Era. Journal of Educational Administration and History, v50 n1 p23-31. This article focuses on the changes that the election of Donald Trump enables in education policy domestically and in education discourse internationally. I argue that Trump's own charismatic leadership style is a distraction from the privatisation that it is facilitating through Betsy DeVos, Trump's appointment as US Education Secretary. I draw on two contemporary examples of technology-enabled privatisation in education–cyber charters and predictive analytics using big data–to argue that in the Trumpian era, educational leadership may be shifting from corporatised forms, where professionals understood as "school leaders" fulfil corporate objectives through corporatised means. Instead, Trumpian-era privatised educational leadership retreats fully behind the technology boardroom door, where it renders superfluous lead professionals in education institutions, and where its objectives are to generate profit through re-conceptualising learners as data providers.

Challenger, Douglas F. (2021). Why Civic Education Is Key to Protecting Democracy. New England Journal of Higher Education, Feb. According to Douglas Challenger, American democracy just survived a near-death experience during the slow-motion coup that was the four years of Donald Trump's presidency. It culminated in his rejecting his electoral loss and pressuring officials and political allies to back his claims that the election was fraudulent and, at the end, inciting his supporters to storm the Capitol in an effort to stay in power. During his time as president, he attacked the press, undermined truth with lies and conspiracy theories, and flouted countless institutional norms such as the peaceful transition of power and the rule of law that American democracy has depended on to function. There are several important causes to the rise of Trump and his base including persistent personal and institutional racism, Christian nationalism, deindustrialization, rising economic inequality, and the inability of governing elites (of either party) during the neoliberal decades since Reagan to adequately address these… [Direct]

Finkel, Ed (2017). Forging Ahead. Community College Journal, v87 n5 p34-38 Apr-May. Community colleges always have played an integral role in training workers for infrastructure- and transportation-related fields like truck driving, construction, welding and electrical work. If the $1 trillion infrastructure package proposed by President Donald Trump comes to pass, these fields will grow significantly, at least for a while, which could affect community colleges and their programming. But two-year schools say they will be motoring ahead in any case. A report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce predicts that Trump's infrastructure proposal could create 11 million jobs but casts some doubt on how many of them would lead to sustainable employment. But for whatever period the jobs do last, the authors foresee a key role for community colleges in getting workers up to speed for that endeavor. This article describes the Trump plan and the infrastructure-related programming that is already in place…. [Direct]

Jason G. Ramage (2023). The Role of Partisan Politics on Support for Public Institutions of Higher Education. ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Arkansas. Over several decades, a greater share of the expense of earning a college degree has shifted to students and their families as appropriations to public institutions of higher education have declined as a percentage of the overall cost to educate a student. Tuition has greatly outpaced inflation during this period, while inflation-adjusted household income has remained relatively flat. Despite all the benefits that accrue to both the college graduate and society as a whole, for the less affluent, a college education is becoming increasingly difficult to attain. Many decide the financial barriers are simply too great and elect not to pursue a degree. Political partisanship influences spending on higher education at the state level; Republican lawmakers, in general, are less generous toward higher education than are Democrats. This study attempted to understand whether similar correlations exist between political preferences and support for higher education among adults who may… [Direct]

Nicholas F. Russo (2022). The 2016 Presidential Election of Donald Trump and its Impact on the College-Going Experience for Then-Undergraduate LGBTQ+ Students. ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Seton Hall University. On November 8, 2016, businessman and mogul Donald J. Trump won the U.S. presidential election, sending shockwaves across the country given that polls indicated that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton would win the election. On U.S. college campuses, students reacted to the election win, and for LGBTQ+ undergraduate students, their marginalized identity was negatively impacted by Trump's win because of his rhetoric towards this population. Colleges and universities responded to the 2016 election results by sending out communications to affirm their mission and values for all their constituents, but this response was perceived as not supporting LGBTQ+ undergraduate students. This phenomenological, qualitative study investigated the retrospective experiences of LGBTQ+ undergraduate students on the night of the 2016 election and how they perceived university support before, during, and after the event. Using minority stress, a theory developed in 1995 by Ilan Meyer as the… [Direct]

International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v30 n10 p936-945. In this article the authors argue that Donald Trump is not simply a presidential figure, but the embodiment of white supremacy, capitalism, racism, neoliberalism, patriarchy, xenophobia, Islamaphobia, homophobia, and more. It is our belief that historically marginalized communities are in a state of constant terror as we try to make sense of how to navigate, live, and merely exist in a world where our livelihood is constantly under threat. In this article, we aim to showcase some of the ways in which people in our communities are coping and making sense of Trump's presidency and his spiteful rhetoric. The authors include personal reflections, and weave in art, poems, and Facebook statuses of Students of Color who are also responding to the current administration. By meshing many perspectives, we seek to understand glimpses of the totality and impact of this president in our daily lives…. [Direct]

Globalisation, Societies and Education, v20 n2 p86-109. Recursively in history, emotions such as social anger, moral satiety, distrust of the elite and the Establishment, among others, have all contributed to politicians' encouragement and exploitation of a rather emotionally charged discourse (Block, E., and R. Negrine. 2017. "The Populist Communication Style: Toward a Critical Framework." "International Journal of Communication" 11: 178-197). In their self-imposed capacity as mouthpiece for 'the People', populist leaders have successfully given vent to the expression of some of these emotions. The fact that emotion permeates all levels of linguistic description (Alba-Juez, L., and G. Thompson. 2014. "The Many Faces and Phases of Evaluation." In "Evaluation in Context," edited by L. Alba-Juez, and G. Thompson, 3-23. Amsterdam, PA: John Benjamins, 10-11) makes its examination a fascinating enterprise. In this paper, we discuss the role played by emotion in the production of populist discourse; to… [Direct]

Boyles, Deron; Scussel, Erin C. (2022). A Pandemic of Ignorance: Manufactured Ignorance and the COVID-19 Pandemic. Philosophical Studies in Education, v53 p41-55. While the study of ignorance is nothing new to philosophy, this article explores the origin and production of ignorance in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors link the question of a pandemic of ignorance to state education laws and policies that arguably manufacture ignorance. Their purpose is not to create a sense of paranoia or lead to conspiracy theories regarding the intentions of any one person or institution, but to argue that ignorance was manufactured by the Donald J. Trump administration during the COVID-19 pandemic, regardless of intent. The authors begin with a detailed explication of Proctor's three categories of ignorance, then provide evidence of convergence and divergence among and between the CDC/WHO and White House. The article ends with the argument that the biological pandemic was–and is–an agnotological pandemic, too, and that recent state education law and policy initiatives indicate the virality of manufacturing ignorance in schools….

Valenzuela, Angela (2017). Academia Cuauhtli: (Re)Locating the Spiritual, if Crooked, Path to Social Justice. International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v30 n10 p906-911. This essay doubles as a critique of the brutal violence visited upon the immigrant community in Austin, Texas, in the wake of Donald Trump's presidency, and a deeply personal account related to the establishment of Academia Cuauhtli, a language and culture revitalization project in Austin, Texas. It narrates our origins as a community-anchored, partnership-based effort that has culminated in a Saturday academy for east Austin fourth graders attending four elementary schools. With implications for community empowerment, culturally relevant social justice pedagogy, and spirituality, it illustrates what is possible when individual biography or circumstance intersects with caring friendships, politically astute community members, social justice initiatives, and a candid expression of need by community-anchored teachers. This timely and crooked path to social justice has situated those whose lives we touch with the kind of sustenance we all need to face the most significant political and… [Direct]

Smith, Reid Jewett (2020). Teaching Trump: A Frame Analysis of Educators' Responses to 'the Trump Effect' in American Schools. Education Policy Analysis Archives, v28 n144 Oct. This paper offers a frame analysis of educators' responses to the anti-democratic statements and actions of candidate-turned-president Donald J. Trump. It asks how educators responded to Trump, then answers by identifying three types of frames (motivational, diagnostic, and prognostic) that educators employed to make sense of the Trump phenomenon. Using democratic education theory and frame analysis, this paper finds that educators were motivated by legality, complicity, and morality to address Trump's anti-democratic statements with students. Educators framed the Trump problem in terms of historical precedent, present danger to democracy, and concern for the future. They framed the solution with new curricula, fact checking, and critical media literacy. This paper argues that educators assert collective democratic agency to uphold democratic norms in uncertain political times…. [PDF]

Azar, Alex M., II; DeVos, Betsy; Nielsen, Kirstjen M.; Whitaker, Matthew (2018). Final Report of the Federal Commission on School Safety. Presented to the President of the United States. US Department of Education In response to the February 14, 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, President Donald Trump established the Federal Commission on School Safety to review safety practices and make meaningful and actionable recommendations of best practices to keep students safe. The Commission conducted field visits, listening sessions, and meetings with hundreds of Americans all across the country. The input of these individuals–state and local policymakers, administrators, principals and teachers, law enforcement and healthcare professionals, students and their families–was critical in identifying best practices and the recommendations contained in this Report. The recommendations are predicated on the policies already working in state and local communities. They outline steps families, communities, schools, houses of worship, law enforcement, medical professionals, government, and others can take to prevent school violence and improve recovery efforts… [PDF]

Harrison, Laura M.; Mather, Peter C. (2017). Making Meaning of Student Activism: Student Activist and Administrator Perspectives. Mid-Western Educational Researcher, v29 n2 p117-135. College campuses have experienced a recent resurgence of student activism, particularly in response to some of President Donald Trump's executive orders as well as controversial speakers like Ann Coulter and Milo Yiannopoulous. Student activism presents both challenges and opportunities for higher education leaders seeking to engage productively in these often complex and highly charged issues. We conducted a phenomenological study of ten student activists and eight administrators at three universities to examine the meaning and goals they identify in their experience of campus activism. Findings indicated students identify their activist involvement as highly meaningful, especially with regard to what they feel they learn in college. Similarly, findings indicated administrators found their experience with student activists to be highly consequential in terms of both career satisfaction and dissatisfaction. We also found communication differences between student activists and… [PDF]

Bondy, Jennifer M. (2017). "Should We Carry Our Passports with Us?": Resisting Violence against Latin@s in Light of Political Rhetoric. Multicultural Perspectives, v19 n3 p166-171. In this article, Jennifer Bondy argues that educators should teach students about the emotions that drive racialized violence. In order to do this, she focuses on political rhetoric that locates Latin@s as illegal aliens, criminals, and questionably American. She begins with her professional experiences as a social studies teacher who has worked with Latin@ youth, and with her personal experiences with Latin family members. She then shifts toward a useful conceptual framework (Young, 2011) for understanding the conditions through which systematic violence against Latin@s is achieved. After highlighting media coverage of anti-Latin@ violence that has been inspired by Donald Trump's presidential campaign, Bondy demonstrates how broader anti-Latin@ political sentiments can be embodied in daily school interactions. Next, she provides examples for how teachers can support students to explore the emotions that drive violence and to create educational experiences that develop concern for… [Direct]

Catone, Keith C. (2017). Post-Election Apprehension, Activism, and Educational Justice. Voices in Urban Education, n45. Following the election of Donald Trump, the author, his wife, and colleagues from the Annenberg Institute for Social Reform (AISR) experienced different forms of apprehension: "anxious" apprehension, which can also be a moment of activist birth that sets the stage for a new level of consciousness to be awakened; "critical" apprehension, to learn more deeply about how to fight for racial justice in the world around us; and "angry" apprehension, which can simultaneously feel uneasy and clarifying, but that also motivates us to act. The author describes the motivation for this special post-election issue of "Voices in Urban Education" and shares the questions asked of key leaders representing a variety of stakeholders in public education. The author hopes that readers are motivated to act in the aftermath of this election and that the voices in this issue can serve as sources of inspiration and action…. [PDF]

Harney, John O. (2018). Back in the Shadows? The DACA Saga Continues. New England Journal of Higher Education, Mar. From 2012 to 2017, nearly 15,000 New England residents participated in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. DACA students are ineligible for federal financial aid programs, but state and institutional aid can flow to undocumented students. As of March 2017, 20 states, including Connecticut and Rhode Island, offered in-state tuition rates to undocumented students. However President Donald Trump announced in September that he would repeal DACA on March 5, charging that President Barack Obama had created it unconstitutionally through executive action. In February 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration's request to speed up its appeal of two federal judges' nationwide injunctions to keep pieces of DACA. As the "Chronicle of Higher Education" noted, "That's good news for the so-called Dreamers trying to avoid deportation.

Howley, Aimee; Howley, Craig B. (2018). How Blue Was My Valley? Invited Paper for the AERA Special Interest Group on Rural Education. Journal of Research in Rural Education, v33 n4. Did rural America bring Donald Trump to the presidency? As a phenomenon related to the rise of Trump, the authors try, in this paper, to explain the conservatism that surrounds them personally, as rural residents and rural education scholars. Their neighbors are (mostly) conservative; in part it defines them; it is part of their culture. They have suffered loss across generations, so they are interested to hold on to familiar ways of living. The schools play a contradictory role in this, as rural scholars (worldwide) know well. The authors present four explanations of Trump-related conservatism, all of which, they believe, are apt to some degree. They may not add up convincingly, but they might be a start. First, they explain voting for Trump as a "weapon of the weak" (see, e.g., Scott, 1985). Second, they deal with the Republican allegiances of many rural voters as a variant of "false consciousness." Third, they examine the "rural resonance with… [PDF]

Friedman, Jonathan Z. (2018). Everyday Nationalism and Elite Research Universities in the USA and England. Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, v76 n2 p247-261 Aug. The reinvigoration of popular nationalism in the USA and UK has largely been framed as counter to the cosmopolitan globalization associated with their elite universities over the past decade. Opposing these two sets of values may be too simplistic, however, given the cultural and political ties long institutionalized between elite universities and the nation. This article endeavors to highlight these entanglements–which were present before the election of Donald Trump or the fateful vote for Brexit–by drawing on interviews conducted with personnel at four elite research universities in these two countries from 2013 to 2014. In particular, this article focuses on the way these individuals invoked symbolic boundaries drawn along national lines as common sense, natural, and enduring, seeing their universities as embodying national characteristics, and as obliged to serve national interests. In providing ontological order to the world, the presence of this "banal" or… [Direct]

Comunicar: Media Education Research Journal, v26 n55 p39-48. This article aims to identify how digital public opinion was articulated on Twitter during the visit of the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to Mexico City in 2016 by invitation from the Mexican government, which was preceded by the threat to construct a border wall that Mexico would pay for. Using a mixed methodology made up of computational methods such as data mining and social network analysis combined with content analysis, the authors identify conversational patterns and the structures of the networks formed, beginning with this event involving the foreign policy of both countries that share a long border. The authors study the digital media practices and emotional frameworks these social network users employed to involve themselves in the controversial visit, marked by complex political, cultural and historical relations. The analysis of 352,203 tweets in two languages (English and Spanish), those most used in the conversations, opened the door to an… [PDF]

Jing Yu (2022). A Critical Study of Chinese International Students' Experiences of Race and Racism in the Age of COVID-19. ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, University of California, Santa Barbara. Chinese international students' lived experiences have garnered substantial attention in US higher education research due to the ever-increasing numbers of such students as well as the tense relationships between the US and China, yet this research rarely considers issues of race and racism. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed underlying structural inequalities, reinvigorated old stereotypes, and unleashed new manifestations of Sinophobia. As a consequence of Donald Trump's racist rhetoric during his presidency, hate crimes against Asian ethnic groups in San Francisco increased by 500% in 2021 and Chinese scientists who were accused of being a threat to US national security were criminalized. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with US-China rivalry and anti-Chinese sentiment, Chinese international students currently face multiple challenges. There is therefore a pressing need to make sense of Chinese students' experiences around US higher education–and in doing so,… [Direct]

Le, Cindy; Schulmann, Paul (2018). Navigating a New Paradigm for International Student Recruitment. Report 10. World Education Services In the nearly two years since the election of U.S. President Donald Trump, multiple studies have documented declines in international student enrollments at U.S. institutions. Entities that track developments in higher education have reported increased enrollments in other countries, especially those where costs are lower, quality and access are on the rise, and social and political environments are more welcoming. To better understand how these shifts affect enrollments, applications, and international recruiting at U.S. institutions, the World Education Services research team surveyed more than 270 higher education professionals in early 2018. The goal was to gain evidence-based insights into changes in enrollment patterns and to develop a set of practical recommendations. Key findings include: (1) Enrollments and applications are down on the majority of campuses; (2) Most respondents felt that the political environment is a cause of their international recruitment challenges; and… [PDF]

Cattaneo, Kelsey Hood (2018). Applying Policy Theories to Charter School Legislation in New York: Rational Actor Model, Stage Heuristics, and Multiple Streams. Educational Policy Analysis and Strategic Research, v13 n2 p6-24 Jun. With renewed calls for charter schools by Donald Trump's new Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, a review of dominant policy theories and their usefulness in analysing policy decision making once again becomes relevant. This paper evaluates the policy case, of the adoption of Charter School Legislation in New York in the late 1990s, making use of Allison and Zelikow's (1999) example of evaluation of a policy case through multiple lenses. Through the meso-, micro- and macro-level perspectives of the Rational Actor Model, Stage Heuristics, and Kingdon's Multiple Streams policy theories, we may be able to discern whether they accomplish their intended goal: To provide a perspective of the policy making process. Once the theories are described, they are each applied to Charter School Legislation of New York in 1998. Working through each lens, this paper describes the policy process, potential actors, and influencers with support of historical data, and draws conclusions about the… [PDF]

Donnor, Jamel K. (2020). Understanding White Racial Sovereignty: Doing Research on Race and Inequality in the Trump Era (and Beyond). International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v33 n2 p285-292. This essay concerns the political and social psychological roots of the White American electorate's decision to elect Donald J. Trump as the 45th president of the United States in 2016. The author explains how the Trump presidency is an iconoclastic reaction by the White American electorate to the country's first African American president, Barack Hussein Obama, and situates the Trump presidency as a White nationalist project dedicated to ensuring that the United States remains a "Herrenvolk" democratic society in which race is the dividing line between equality and racial subordination. Based on this reasoning, the author contends that scholars of color are 'free' to unapologetically pursue race-centered research and scholarly studies committed to the dismantling of White supremacy. The essay concludes with a discussion of why scholars of color and social justice activists must adopt what historians refer to as the "longue dur√©e" in the quest to end White… [Direct]

Hess, Juliet (2017). Equity and Music Education: Euphemisms, Terminal Naivety, and Whiteness. Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education, v16 n3 p15-47 Nov. In this paper, I advocate for the use of explicit language for discussions of race and call for music education to move out of terminal naivety (Vaugeois 2013) toward a heightened consciousness of political issues and racial oppressions. Employing critical race theory (CRT) as a theoretical framework, this paper examines race-related silences and the importance of using direct language to identify structural and systemic racism. I offer practical suggestions for initiating "race talk" in school music, in postsecondary music education, and in music education scholarship. These practical implications emerge from the experiences of four Toronto teachers who participated in a multiple case study on social justice and anti-racist work in music education (Hess 2013), the literature on race and silencing inside and outside music education, and my own experiences as a former public school music teacher and music teacher educator. With the surge of hate crimes and unmasked white… [PDF]

Research-publishing.net, Paper presented at the Conference on Telecollaboration in Higher Education (2nd, Dublin, Ireland, Apr 21-23, 2016). The Paris and San Bernardino attacks in autumn 2015, along with various retaliatory incidents, and Donald Trump's suggestion that Muslims should be banned from entering the US, have reminded us again of the deep misunderstandings and resentments that often exist between the Muslim and Western worlds. In order to improve intercultural and interreligious understanding, students at the University of Sousse, Tunisia, took part in an online exchange programme with students from Villanova University in Pennsylvania, USA. Using student diaries and end of course reflection exercises, this study investigated both the benefits and limits that the exchange had in developing understanding, as well as the impact the process had on the outcomes. The findings showed numerous positive developments in intercultural and interreligious understanding, but also limits to the depth of discussion, particularly concerning conflict situations. The diaries also revealed some cases of limited communication,… [PDF]

Harney, John O. (2016). Sanctuary … and Other Notes from the "NEJHE" Beat …. New England Journal of Higher Education, Nov. How will higher education fare under a President Donald Trump? According to this author, the campaign's misogyny shouldn't sit well with a student body that is now majority female, its disavowal of climate changes won't impress research universities, and the xenophobia won't help economies and cultures bolstered by foreign enrollment. The number of foreign students in the U.S topped 1 million in 2015-16. But experts worry that Trump's election could dampen foreign enrollment as 9/11 had done 15 years ago. Here at home, "college Canada" and "university Canada" were searched more than twice as much in the U.S. on the day after the election than on any other day in the past five years, according to Google.

Field, James Colin (2018). Curriculum in the Post Truth Era: Is Truth Dead?. Canadian Social Studies, v50 n2 p44-48. "Trump has discovered something about epistemology in the 21st Century. The truth may be real, but falsehood often works better" (Scherer, M., "Time", April 3, 2017). Ironically perhaps, I took what the Donald has discovered about Western epistemology in our age to be true, so my first cautious answer to the question posed in the title is a qualified yes: Truth might indeed be dead, or at least dying, in the same way that Nietzsche proclaimed, more than 100 years ago, that God is dead. I think it's important to note that Nietzsche wasn't proclaiming that God did not exist, rather, he was stating that his existence has ceased to matter in the sense of bringing order, commitment, and a sense of purpose to a secular society. So, the question for me is not does truth exist? That is, can we sort truth from lies, or the "fake news" from the factual reporting of important events, and from the false histories constructed through colonial, imperial, racist, or… [PDF]

Burkett, Jerry; Hayes, Sonya (2018). Campus Administrators' Responses to Donald Trump's Immigration Policy: Leadership during Times of Uncertainty. International Journal of Educational Leadership and Management, v6 n2 p98-125 Jul. Donald J. Trump was elected the 45th President of the United States in November 2016, after more than a year of campaigning on many major issues. Among the key issues presented during then-candidate Trump's campaign was immigration reform. While Latinos make up the largest ethnic group of non-citizens in the U.S., most of these individuals have resided in the U.S. for a long period of time, have strong family ties, and have children who are lawful U.S. citizens (Baum, 2010; Almeida, Johnson, McNamara, & Gupta, 2011; Sharpless, 2017). The Trump administration's early days involved a flurry of executive orders and other measures aimed at increasing the enforcement of immigration laws and blocking admission to the U.S. by individuals from specific countries. The purpose of this exploratory research study was to interview principals who lead Hispanic-majority elementary, middle, and high schools to determine how students and school communities are reacting to President Trump's… [PDF]

This article is about the lead-up to the 2020 US General Election and appears in the last edition of this journal before the vote takes place in that momentous event on November 3. In the article, four specific and inter-related existential threats and dangers are identified that would arise from the re-election of Donald J. Trump: the destruction of democracy in the US; a continuation of the ongoing coronavirus catastrophe in the United States and Trump's callous attempts to promote US capitalism and his own capitalist interests by refuting and/or ignoring the dangers from this or future viruses; a worsening of world-threatening climate change destruction in the light of its denial by Trump; and the increased possibility of (nuclear) war. First, however, some brief comments are made about the Trump persona. The article uses the concept of public pedagogy to explore Trump's rhetoric, pronouncements and associated policies and practices that threaten and promote hatred and fear,… [PDF]

Benner, Meg; Brown, Catherine (2017). The Stakes Are Too High to Ignore the Trump-DeVos Agenda. Center for American Progress In the wake of the 2016 presidential election, some advocates and philanthropists are shifting their focus and energy from the federal level to the state and local level in the hopes of maintaining the momentum of gains made by the Obama administration. Since the nation's founding, states and the school districts they created have been in the driver's seat when it comes to education policy; they are central to the academic outcomes and well-being of children nationwide. At the same time, the federal government also plays a critical role in the education sector. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos and President Donald Trump have the potential to affect student achievement and well-being. Advocates, policymakers, and philanthropists should consider the importance of the federal role in education before diverting all energy to state and district policies. Staunch advocacy can temper the Trump-DeVos agenda by offering alternatives to Congress, forcing the administration to adopt less… [PDF]

Education for Information, v34 n3 p185-197. Based on recent political happenings, such as Brexit (UK) and the election of Donald Trump (USA), it has become clear that political marketing has been using 'Big Data' intensively. Information gathered from social media networks is organized into digital environments and has the power to determine the outcome of elections, plebiscites and popular consultations. New advertising and persuasion mechanisms have been created to undermine the reliability of traditional mass media communication that are familiar to the general audience. Consequently, 'fake news' and 'alternative facts' have emerged along with the notion of 'post-truth', which defines the state of affairs represented in public opinion that has been contaminated by these strategies. Based on the pragmatic-semiotic concepts developed by Peirce, such as belief, mental habits, controlled action, final opinion, truth, and reality, we argue that the 'global village', (McLuhan, 2008) may be at a dangerous fork in the road.

When teachers discuss the 2020 presidential election with students, now and in future years, they will, appropriately, place front and center the ramifications of the baseless challenges by Donald Trump and his supporters to Joe Biden's victory. Even as state and federal courts across the nation tossed out lawsuits challenging vote counts, the frenzy whipped up over false allegations of fraud and irregularities nevertheless culminated in the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, the first real threat since the Civil War to the peaceful transition of power. However, in addition to considering with students this challenge to the electoral system, social studies teachers should also incorporate into the lessons an examination of the dominant theme of the Republican campaign–that the Democrats have become the party of "radical socialism," and that a Democratic victory would lead to the end of American society as we know it. Investigating such charges by Republicans… [Direct]

Martin, Adrian D.; Strom, Kathryn J. (2017). Thinking with Theory in an Era of Trump. Issues in Teacher Education, v26 n3 p3-22 Fall. This introduction to this special issue on "Thinking with Theory in Teacher Education" dedicates considerable space to broadly discussing the current U.S. political context to emphasize why, at this precise moment in history, educators, teacher educators, and educational researchers are in dire need of different ways to understand the world and our connections and interactions with/in it. The authors argue for the need to use these emergent understandings to become and live differently–as well as to shape systems of schooling and educate differently. They first situate this introduction in the global movement (at least in parts of the Western world) toward extreme right wing and ultra-conservative political ideologies. Drawing on the case of Donald Trump's election in the U.S., they present an argument that "good and common sense"–that is, rational ways of knowing–is woefully inadequate to build the needed justice movement to resist the implications of a… [PDF]

Berryman, Anthony; Brenes, Tizoc; Diera, Claudia; Franke, Megan; Geller, Rebecca Cooper; Ishimoto, Michael; Rogers, John; Yun, Jung-Eun Ellie (2017). Teaching and Learning in the Age of Trump: Increasing Stress and Hostility in America's High Schools. UCLA IDEA This report examines whether the substance and tone of national political discourse during the first four months of the Trump administration affected U.S. public high school students. Throughout his campaign and in his presidency to date, Donald Trump has addressed a number of "hot-button" topics that call into question the status or rights of many different groups in American society. The charged political rhetoric surrounding these and other issues often has been polarizing and contentious. Many would agree that, since Donald Trump has moved into the White House, national political discourse has become a more potent force in shaping the consciousness and everyday experiences of Americans. It is important to ask if this new political environment has impacted high school students. The authors consider the following questions: (1) Have national political debates on topics such as immigration enforcement increased students' stress and heightened students' concerns about their… [PDF]

(2019). The First Step Act of 2018: Risk and Needs Assessment System. US Department of Justice On December 21, 2018, President Donald J. Trump signed the First Step Act of 2018 into law. Title I of the First Step Act of 2018 (FSA or the Act) is focused on reforms to reduce recidivism among the federal prison population. Many of Title I's reforms hinge on the creation of a risk and needs assessment system. Under the FSA, the Attorney General is charged with developing and releasing a risk and needs assessment system for use in the federal prison system. With this report, Attorney General William P. Barr releases the First Step Act of 2018 Risk and Needs Assessment System. This report outlines the work of the Department of Justice to develop and implement the Risk and Needs Assessment System (System). It also introduces the new System that the Federal Bureau of Prisons will deploy in its facilities. And the report announces the Department of Justice's strategic plan to evaluate, validate, and enhance the System over time…. [PDF]

Burke, Lindsey M.; Jeffries, Shavar (2018). Forum: Trump and the Nation's Schools–Assessing the Administration's Early Impact on Education. Education Next, v18 n3 p58-65 Sum. Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump did not emphasize education policy during his campaign, though he proposed a $20 billion program to promote school choice, derided Common Core, and even floated the idea of eliminating the U.S. Department of Education. As for higher education, Trump expressed concern over student debt and proposed a partial loan-forgiveness program. Observers suggested that, as president, he might roll back Obama's tough enforcement guidelines on campus sexual assault. How have Trump's policies stacked up against promises in his first year as president? What effect has his administration had on the nation's schools and colleges so far? In this forum, Lindsey M. Burke of the Heritage Foundation's Center for Education Policy argues that the administration has already made some positive strides, while Shavar Jeffries, president of Democrats for Education Reform, contends that Trump's policies have only harmed children and schools….

Blair, Keron (2017). Education Activism: A Moment to Stand Up. Voices in Urban Education, n45. In this article, the author asks the question: what are the real implications of living in a Trump America? He thinks as it relates to public education, people see this as a call to really stand up, and say, "Our schools will be safe places. Our schools will be sanctuaries. We will have good public schools in our communities, and we will fight for them." He thinks people are becoming sensitized to the kind of risks, the kind of momentum that we have to build in order to make sure that, at the end of these four years, we have strong public education and public schools in the communities that are most vulnerable. He discusses priorities, such as invalidating claims around the role of the private sector as it relates to education, and building infrastructure that can run strong campaigns at the local and state level. He asks questions and provides some advice for those that are concerned about the new political reality they find themselves in. He highlights some local… [PDF]

(2020). Compilation of Information about Successful State and Institutional Efforts That Promote Timely and Affordable Completion of Postsecondary Education: An Annotated Bibliography. US Department of Education On March 21, 2019, President Donald J. Trump issued Executive Order (EO) 13864, "Improving Free Inquiry, Transparency, and Accountability at Colleges and Universities" which, among other things, required the Secretary of Education to compile information about successful State and institutional efforts that promote students' timely and affordable completion of a postsecondary program of study. Additionally, the EO asked that the Secretary publish a compilation of research results that addresses: (1) how some States and institutions have better facilitated successful transfer of credits and degree completion by transfer students; (2) how States and institutions can increase access to dual enrollment programs; and (3) other strategies for increasing student success, especially among students at high risk of not completing a postsecondary program of study. This report presents an annotated bibliography of studies that have examined state efforts to improve postsecondary… [PDF]

Kohli, Rita; Nev√°rez, Arturo; Pizarro, Marcos (2017). The "New Racism" of K-12 Schools: Centering Critical Research on Racism. Review of Research in Education, v41 n1 p182-202 Mar. While organizing efforts by movements such as Black Lives Matter and responses to the hate-filled policies and rhetoric of President Donald Trump are heightening public discourse of racism, much less attention is paid to mechanisms of racial oppression in the field of education. Instead, conceptualizations that allude to racial difference but are disconnected from structural analyses continue to prevail in K-12 education research. In this chapter, our goal is to challenge racism-neutral and racism-evasive approaches to studying racial disparities by centering current research that makes visible the normalized facets of racism in K-12 schools. After narrowing over 4,000 articles that study racial inequity in education research, we reviewed a total of 186 U.S.-focused research studies in a K-12 school context that examine racism. As we categorized the literature, we built on a theory of the "new racism"–a more covert and hidden racism than that of the past–and grouped the… [Direct]

Troy D. Washington (2023). Cloak of Racial Oppression Theory in Education. Educational Foundations, v36 p99-114. The more immediate concern of social injustice should explore the significant barriers Black men face in society. Although White America would like you to believe that things have improved, the current climate proves otherwise. The amount of hate toward people of color has been made obvious because of the Donald Trump administration. And one can even make the argument that most whites have ignored the enormity of racial tension escalating right before their eyes. It is easier for them to ignore the reality of racism, than to address it openly and honestly. But the barriers that Black men face are pushed even further to the outskirts of the minds of society to completely devalue their existence. These barriers may be more challenging to uphold if there's a framework like the cloak of racial oppression theory to identify the systemic barriers that exist in educational institutions. The cloak of racial oppression theory will likely generate discussions to encourage White America to… [PDF]

Freas, Adam; Limon-Guzman, Jesus (2017). Made You Look: Reflecting on the Trump Election and Patterns of False Response. Berkeley Review of Education, v7 n1 p95-101 Jan. Before the start of this past fall semester, a large Northern California community college, celebrated its 100th anniversary. One of the lead programs featured a panel of current faculty, staff, and students, in addition to a former Japanese American student who attended the college during World War II. Her story offered an opportunity for to contextualize the college's current role as a public institution of education. Instead, however, the panel and campus at large responded minimally to this conversation; it may have been startling or inspiring in the moment, but few actions or outcomes were attached. Most attendees returned to the normalcy of preparing for the upcoming semester and did not fully reflect on the relevancy of her story. Yet fast-forward to the middle of the fall semester, and the presidential election uncovered the beliefs and practices of the larger society, creating a crucial time for educational institutions and spaces to hold exactly these conversations about… [PDF]

Wells, Christian (2019). Staff and Administrator Training to Promote College Completion of Undocumented Students. ProQuest LLC, D.Phil. Dissertation, Mercer University. This qualitative study investigated the experiences of staff and administrators who worked with undocumented students attending college in a southern region of the United States. Staff and administrators were unaware of the unique challenges that undocumented college students face when pursuing their college degrees. The researcher conducted a constructivist epistemological, grounded theory study and utilized the Latino/a critical race theory as the framework. Through 11 semi-structured interviews with staff and administrators who worked with undocumented college students in the southern region, the participants discussed the challenges they experienced while helping undocumented students with resources to help them complete college. The data revealed many barriers that undocumented college students face while completing college. The staff and administrators discussed how undocumented students wanted to pursue the "American Dream". However, while pursuing their college… [Direct]

Velautham, Leela (2017). Designing an Intervention to Promote Critical Thinking about Statistics in the General Public. Berkeley Review of Education, v7 n1 p113-119 Jan. "One in five American households do not have a single member in the labor force." This was a statistic heralded by President-elect Donald Trump (Appelbaum, 2016, para. 2), in a speech during the election campaign, to illustrate the apparently huge number of unemployed Americans and, thus, to expose the perilous state of the American economy. However, if considered critically, this is also a statistic that is incredibly misleading. Trump may be correct that fewer Americans, as a percentage of the total population, are engaged in traditional employment today compared to previous decades. However, the statistic above is not proof that more Americans are unemployed and, indeed, is more indicative of the fact that 20% of American households are headed by retirees (Jacobson, 2016). In this statistic, Trump is tacitly classifying retirees, 16-to-17-year-olds, and stay-at- home parents as being within the ranks of the unemployed. Although this classification may be technically… [PDF]

Journal of College Access, v4 n1 Article 9 p75-79 Jun. The "Moving on Up? What Groundbreaking Study Tells Us About Access, Success, and Mobility in Higher Ed" report by Stephen Burd seeks to raise awareness of the data published in a paper, "Mobility Report Cards: The Role of Colleges in Intergenerational Mobility." This paper was released at the same time that Donald Trump began his presidency, therefore, it may not have received as much attention as it could have, considering the findings. New America published a blog series highlighting the information from the Mobility Report Cards paper and versions of those posts have been reprinted in this report. The paper and this report gathered data from de-identified tax records from students, who attended college between the years 1999 and 2013, as well as from their parents.

In the analysis of the data obtained from the parental interviews, typological analysis was used. Opinions about the subject were given directly, without intervention. As a result of the… [PDF]

Henry A. Giroux (2018). Higher Education and the Politics of the Radical Imagination. Prism: Casting New Light on Learning, Theory & Practice, v2 n1 p23-43. In this paper, I address the vital civic principle that democracies cannot exist without informed citizens and that education itself must be about more than training and is essential to creating critical and engaged citizens. Such an understanding is imperative at a time when democracy is under siege all over the globe. As an example of both the rise of authoritarianism and the challenge it poses to higher education, I focus on not only the election and presidency of Donald Trump but also an emboldened culture of manufactured illiteracy that exhibits a disdain for any notion of education wedded to the pursuit of the truth, science, and the public good. I argue that the Trump administration is engaged in not simply a neoliberal political project designed to consolidate wealth and power in the hands of the financial elite, but also is reworking of the very meaning of education both as an institution and as a broader cultural force. Democracy and politics itself are both in crisis and… [PDF]

Wayne, Earl Anthony (2019). North America 2.0: A Workforce Development Agenda. Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars As new technology reshapes workplaces and jobs across North America, the United States, Mexico, and Canada need to reinvent the ways that they educate, train, and re-skill their workforces. With Mexico and Canada now the United States' two largest economic partners, more than ever the three countries need to work together to effectively and equitably manage the massive transformations ahead in the skills needed by tomorrow's employees. Already, employers across the continent are having difficulty filling jobs with suitable candidates: 50% of Mexican CEOs face that challenge, as do 46% and 41% of U.S. and Canadian employers respectively, a recent Manpower survey finds. Furthermore, The World Economic Forum's 2018 Future of Jobs report says that CEOs surveyed expect that up to 54% of workers will require significant "reskilling" (largely for those displaced from jobs) or "up-skilling" (largely for those still employed but whose jobs are evolving) by 2022….

S√°nchez, Damien M. (2018). Concientization among People in Support and Opposition of President Trump. Educational Technology & Society, v21 n1 p237-247. Civic engagement in the United States has increased since the election of President Trump. This increase is evident online as people are using Twitter to assert their digital citizenship by voicing their opinions regarding President Donald J. Trump and demonstrating solidarity with various civic movements. President Trump's election has caused many people to recognize how policies impact their daily lives and shed previous understandings as described by Freire (2005) as concientization. This study employed a Content Analysis to classify Tweets from #DisruptJ20 posted during inauguration week according to concientization and Support or Opposition of President Trump. A Sentiment Analysis revealed that supporters of President Trump were much more negative than those who oppose President Trump. Results of the Logistic Regression found that variables related to network structure (Friends, Followers, and Likes) were more likely to predict Retweets than concientization. Results of… [PDF]

Jasim, Raid Muhammad; Mustafa, Sabah S. (2020). A Semantic and Rhetorical Study of Manipulation in Two English and Arabic Political Speeches. Arab World English Journal, v11 n4 p426-444 Dec. Manipulation is a discursive phenomenon used by speakers to affect the thoughts ( and indirectly the actions) of the recipients. This study is concerned with manipulation in two political speeches; one in English delivered by the American President Donald J. Trump, while the other in Arabic delivered by the Iraqi President Barham Salih to be the study's data. Each one of these two speeches is divided into serial-numbered extracts( henceforth Ext.). The study aims at investigating the semantic and rhetorical devices utilized as manipulation strategies in these speeches. To this end, the qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis will be followed in this study. The significance of the study stems from how the ideological dimension based on bettering off the speaker's image and derogating others' image plays a vital role in the political speeches. This study draws on Van Dijk's ideological approach to Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of political discourse, and accordingly, it is… [PDF]

Baxter, Graeme (2014). Open For Business? An Historical, Comparative Study of Public Access to Information about Two Controversial Coastal Developments in North-East Scotland. Information Research: An International Electronic Journal, v19 n1 Mar. Introduction: This paper compares public access to information about two controversial coastal developments in North-east Scotland: the construction of a gas terminal by the British Gas Council and Total in the 1970s, and the current development of "the world's greatest golf course" by the tycoon Donald Trump. Method: Data has been collected from a range of sources, including: the records of local and national government, the developers, and environmental interest groups; academic and other literature; the press; and interviews and correspondence with key figures involved in the two developments. Analysis: The content of these sources was analysed in order to identify what information was, and was not, made publicly available during the two projects, and to explore what impact this may have had on citizens' engagement in the planning and decision-making processes. Results: The provision of information, and of opportunities for participation, has been more extensive in the… [PDF]

Grundy, Margaret S. (2018). The Power of 37 Words: Title IX in the Era of Heightened Enforcement. ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, University of Pennsylvania. Few issues have taken U.S. higher education by storm in the way Title IX did over the course of the era of heightened enforcement (defined for the purpose of this study as the period between the issuance of the Office for Civil Rights' Dear Colleague letter on April 4, 2011 and Donald Trump's inauguration as President in January 2017). The Dear Colleague letter and subsequent regulatory actions elicited a wide range of reactions from stakeholders: the White House; federal, state, and local lawmakers; university faculty and administrators; activists and advocacy groups; defenders of due process; students and their parents; the media; and the general public. While understanding official guidance documents from the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is critical to comprehending what happened during the era of heightened enforcement, by themselves, they do not offer a complete picture of the pressures faced by institutions grappling with their responsibilities under the law and their desire… [Direct]

Islas, Liliana (2018). The Role of Facebook in Latino Transfer College Adjustment. ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, University of California, Los Angeles. Latinos are the largest minority in the U.S., yet they hold the least number of conferred college degrees compared to their total population. Despite these low numbers, Latinos have grown exponentially in colleges and universities. Presently, the University of California has six out of its nine undergraduate campuses designated Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). HSIs require a Latino student population of 25 percent or higher. It is important to note, however, that these institutions are structurally and culturally white. Latinos have been found to experience a culture shock when entering higher education (Yosso, 2005). Sixty-percent of Latino students begin their post-secondary education at community colleges, and they, too, experience what is known as transfer shock: a dip in students' GPA when entering their senior institution. As such, tools that may mitigate these various adjustments are explored. Most college aged students do not know of a time before the world wide web. More… [Direct]

Salas, Rachel G. (2018). Under the Shadow of Trump: Portrayals of Undocumented Youth in Young Adult Fiction from 2016-2017. Forum on Public Policy Online, v2018 n1. The current president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, has consistently disparaged immigrants entering the U.S. but he has saved his most vitriolic language to describe undocumented immigrants who come from countries south of the U.S. border. He has called this Latinx population criminals, rapist, drug dealers, and animals among other derogatory terms (Davis, 2018). In referring to undocumented immigrants Trump maintains a constant barrage of dehumanizing language that permeates print, digital and social media. He has fomented an atmosphere of hate, intolerance and xenophobia. It is under this verbal avalanche of denigration and vilification of undocumented immigrants that emanates from the Trump administration that I sought to explore how undocumented Latinx immigrant youth were portrayed in young adult literature written near the end of the Trump presidential campaign and into his first term (2016-2017).

Giroux, Henry A. (2019). Authoritarianism and the Challenge of Higher Education in the Age of Trump. Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education, v18 n1 p6-25 Mar. Henry Giroux begins this discussion by observing that he thinks there is a lot to be learned about what happens to higher education when authoritarians win elections and a liberal democracy morphs into something else. Giroux believes that under the regime of Donald Trump, higher education is under siege, and its stated purpose to produce the formative cultures necessary to support critical thinking, civic courage, expand the radical imagination, and nurture individual and social agency has been abandoned. He writes that at the same time, the growing crisis of higher education is expanding across the globe and increasingly echoes H. G. Wells' remark in 1920 that "History is becoming more and more a race between education and catastrophe." Giroux further argues that Trump's brand of authoritarianism has emerged at a time in which there is an over abundance of information, coupled with the rise of new digital and visual media whose cognitive models reinforce the assumption… [PDF]

De La Cruz-Caldera, Lisa (2017). "Systems Not Built for Me": A Case Study Exploring Undocumented College Student Experiences Influenced by Environmental Factors in the Trump Era. ProQuest LLC, Ed.D./HE Dissertation, Azusa Pacific University. The recent election of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States of America has incited unprecedented fear and uncertainty throughout undocumented college student populations. Although political barriers to a higher education exist for those who identify as being undocumented, there is a population of undocumented individuals currently enrolled in college and working toward a degree. Absent from political and social dialogue is the topic of how college environments influence undocumented college student development given their personal contexts and needs. Using Bronfenbrenner's (1979) Ecological Systems Model and the concept of the White Architecture of the Mind (Collins & Jun, 2017), this study explored how a college environment influenced undocumented college student experiences. Research questions included: How does a college environment shape the college going experiences of undocumented students? Which environmental components have the greatest impact as an… [Direct]

Hagen Gray, Tricia Michelle (2017). "Hear Us, See Us": Constructing Citizenship in the Margins. ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, The University of Nebraska – Lincoln. The meatpacking industry has drawn an increasing number of immigrants to the Midwestern community of Washington River from Mexico and Central America, making it a New Latino Diaspora (NLD) receiving community. Demographic change amidst the sociopolitical landscape of neoliberalism, declining civic engagement, and polarized partisan politics has forced interaction between longstanding residents and newcomers who are socially, culturally, and linguistically different. Historically marginalized groups have sought to claim rights—especially since Donald Trump's election in 2016—resulting in a deeper fissure of the social landscape. Washington River High School provided a context in which to explore questions about how students construct citizen identities: How do high school newcomer students construct citizen identities in social studies? Who are key individuals who influence the construction of citizenship and how do they influence students? Given the institutional nature of… [Direct]

Andrew Camp; Gema Zamarro (2021). Determinants of Ethnic Differences in School Modality Choices during the COVID-19 Crisis. Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness A growing body of research and popular reporting shows racial differences in school modality choices during the COVID-19 crisis, with white students more likely to attend school in person. This in-person learning gap raises serious equity concerns. In our paper, we use unique panel survey data from the Understanding Coronavirus in America Tracking Survey (UCA) to document racial differences in how students from different racial backgrounds engaged in school in the 2020-2021 academic year and to study potential factors associated with the observed racial differences. Using data collected between September 30 and October 27 2020, we corroborate significant racial gaps in mode of schooling. Nationally, a majority (68%) of American parents used some sort of remote learning (fully remote or hybrid) but there exist significant differences by race. 77% of Black and Hispanic parents report using fully remote or hybrid learning options for their children, as compared with only 61% of white… [Direct]

Watson, Terri Nicol (2017). Effective School Leadership and New York City's Immigrant and Migrant Children: A Study. International Journal of Educational Management, v31 n5 p622-632. Purpose: This paper provides insight into the effective education of immigrant and migrant children: many of whom are classified in New York City's public schools as English language learners. It also highlights the ways in which New York City prepares school leaders and the policies that govern their actions. Design/methodology/approach: Literature review. Findings: The practices of New York City's school leaders are governed by the Chancellor's Regulations. These comprehensive mandates consist of four components and address issues related to students in grades K-12, school-based budgets, personnel matters, and parent and community engagement. In relation to students, including those classified as immigrant, migrant, and English language learners the Chancellor's Regulation A-101 makes it clear: children may not be refused admission to a public school because of race, color, creed, national origin, gender, gender identity, pregnancy, immigration/citizenship status, disability,… [Direct]

(2019). Federal Financial Literacy Reform: Coordinating and Improving Financial Literacy Efforts. US Department of the Treasury The federal government spends an estimated $273 million annually on financial literacy1 and education programs and activities across 23 federal agencies and entities. These programs are designed to educate Americans about a wide array of financial literacy and education topics. However, in 2012, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report (GAO Report) that found that federal financial literacy efforts lacked meaningful coordination with multiple programs with similar goals and activities. Furthermore, very few federal agencies appear to monitor the effectiveness of their programs and only a handful of these programs have been formally assessed or evaluated for impact. The Department of the Treasury (Treasury) prepared this report, in part in response to the June 2018 plan by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to reform and reorganize the executive branch entitled "Delivering Government Solutions in the 21st Century" (OMB report).

Pizmony-Levy, Oren; Saraisky, Nancy Green (2021). Why Did They Protest? Stability and Change in the Opt-Out Movement, 2016-2018. Teachers College Record, v123 n5. Background/context: One of the most prominent educational social movements in the United States during the past two decades has been the opt-out movement, in which parents and caregivers refuse to have their school-aged children sit for federally mandated tests. Although early responses by government officials framed the movement in terms of race, class, and gender, in truth we know little about the actual motivations that drive opt-out activists. We also know little about the extent to which the movement was affected by recent seismic changes in the political and policy spheres (e.g., the election of Donald J. Trump and the collapse of the Common Core State Standards). Purpose/objective: In this study, we build on social movements theories to examine who was opting out and why, as well as whether these participants or their motivations changed over time. By doing so, we seek to build upon the existing literature by synthesizing the two primary theoretical perspectives on social… [Direct]

Layng, Jacqueline M. (2009). Consulting on Negotiation: Teaching Business Students Basic Techniques. Business Communication Quarterly, v72 n3 p341-344. The art of negotiation is understood by few people or regularly utilized, and yet most people negotiate several times a day. Each time a person buys a product or service, an internal as well as external negotiation occurs. People barter professionally, personally, and psychologically with little or no thought of improving this much-needed skill. Many different universities, including Harvard Law School, offer seminars and classes on negotiation. In addition, journals and professional books, such as Donald Trump's bestseller \The Art of the Deal,\ discuss the issue, and yet college students lack this skill. For this reason, the author added an activity to her professional business communication class that deals with salary negotiation. In this article, she describes an activity that focuses on the practice of salary negotiation…. [Direct]

(2017). The University as a Sanctuary. Pullias Center for Higher Education Soon after the election of Donald J. Trump as President-elect of the United States, many faculty, students, and staff throughout the country campaigned to have their campuses designated as "sanctuaries." Although the concept of a sanctuary dates to the ancient Greek and Roman empires, it has special historical significance for the United States. For decades, sanctuaries have offered a wide range of individuals–including conscientious objectors to war and faith-based social activists–protection from targeted political prosecution (Lippert, 2013). Nevertheless, the call for a college or university to become a sanctuary is relatively new. The impetus for the call concerns President-elect Trump's repeated demand to reverse the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) immigration policy and deport all undocumented individuals from the United States. Approximately 730,000 individuals who have applied and been approved for DACA are amongst those who might be deported… [PDF]

Kaufman, Andrea Kayne (2005). You're Fired! Donald Trump, No Child Left Behind, and the Limits of Dissonant Leadership in Education. Journal of Women in Educational Leadership, v3 n3 p193-212 Jul. Imagine a scenario in which an individual gets up every day and goes to work in fear–in fear of performing the difficult tasks at work–in fear of the colleagues who perform better. The individual is in fear of the boss who is omnipotent, larger than life and constantly judging, evaluating, and sentencing employees to a lifetime of failure. The individual knows that someone is going down, and at any moment, it is likely the individual will hear those dreaded words, "You're fired!" This is not Donald Trump's reality television program, "The Apprentice." Although it follows a similar formula, this is the reality of public school teachers on a daily basis obliged to follow the fear-inducing mandates of the "No Child Left Behind Act" of 2001 (2002). Like Donald Trump, the "No Child Left Behind Act" compels the managers of schools, superintendents and principals, to use hierarchy, competition, and fear to motivate their most important employees,… [Direct]

Rodriguez Vega, Silvia (2018). Praxis of Resilience & Resistance: "We Can STOP Donald Trump" and Other Messages from Immigrant Children. Association of Mexican American Educators Journal, v12 n3 p122-147. In 2018 there have been constant anti-immigrant rhetoric, policies, and enforcement. Most recently, Trump referred to immigrant children as "future criminals" who needed to be kept in prison-like detention centers and "tender age facilities" (Min Kim, 2018). Meanwhile, the 4.5 million children of immigrants already in the US continue to face possibilities of family separation due to this enforcement-focused political system (Su√°rez-Orozco et al., 2015). The goal of this article is to provide insight into the lives of one of the most vulnerable and fastest growing populations in the U.S.–immigrant children. As a researcher and educator, I developed an art-centered methodological and pedagogical tool that can serve those working with immigrant children and vulnerable populations. Over a two-year period, I used artistic tools such as drawings, storyboards, Teatro Campesino's "actos," and various techniques from Theater of the Oppressed (Boal, 2000) to work… [Direct]

Kinnick, Katherine N.; Parton, Sabrena R. (2005). Workplace Communication: What \The Apprentice\ Teaches about Communication Skills. Business Communication Quarterly, v68 n4 p429-456. This article reports the results of a content analysis of the debut season of the reality television show, \The Apprentice.\ All 15 episodes were examined to determine the role that communication competencies played in competitors' success or elimination. Results indicate that the ability to persuade effectively was most critical to winning tasks, but leadership skills and interpersonal skills were the most common sources of praise and criticism from teammates and Donald Trump and his associates. Women appeared to be judged more critically for their interpersonal skills than men, whereas evaluations of men focused primarily on their leadership abilities. (Contains 2 tables.)… [Direct]

Dantley, Michael E. (2017). Critical Citizenship and Anger: A Reconstructionist Resistance to the Election of Donald J. Trump. International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v30 n10 p929-935. Almost like never before, the place and role of citizenship in a democracy is at the forefront of my thinking. The Trump administration, that in a month's time has attempted to turn the presidency of the United States into an autocracy, demands that citizens become actively engaged in ensuring that the hallmarks of living in a democracy and the ethical efficacy of the checks and balances system that is to undergird the governmental process are being forthrightly enacted. This season brings into much higher focus what it actually mans to live in a democracy and what it means to be a critical citizen in such a time as this…. [Direct]
