Donald Trump’s imperialist fantasy knows no bounds. His latest executive order? Renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America.”
But here’s the truth: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has already declared the obvious: The rest of the world will continue to call it the Gulf of Mexico. International maps, leaders, and institutions won’t bend to Trump’s bullying. Now, we must ensure that our schools don’t either.
This isn’t an absurd vanity project, it’s a direct attack on American education.
Trump’s decree is designed to force American schools to embrace his imperialist agenda by rewriting global geography, erasing non-American contributions, and stoking nationalist propaganda.
We’ve fought back against Trump’s authoritarian agenda before, and we’ve won. We’ve stood up against book bans, fought for science-based climate education, and protected the integrity of our public schools.
Now we must protect our classrooms and our children’s right to a fact-based education by keeping Trump’s Gulf of America propaganda out of our schools.
