Trump's Education Agenda Sees Boost as Ballot Initiatives on Transgender Student Policies Pass in Multiple States

Despite a challenging Election Day for the Republican party, several education policy initiatives championed by President Donald Trump, particularly those concerning transgender student-athletes, fared well in state ballot measures. Initiatives in Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, and Washington that would restrict transgender girls' participation in female sports or expand existing limitations were projected to pass or were passing. Additionally, Alabama saw the projected passage of measures allowing student-initiated prayers and requiring the display of the national anthem in schools.
