Parents across the country were among the many diverse constituencies that delivered a historic victory for President-elect Donald J. Trump. Many of those parents have grown cynical about politicians of all stripes, but now have hope that Trump will pursue policies that edify, rather than undermine, the nuclear family.

Among those policy initiatives is the promise to dismantle the United States Department of Education (DOE). While that would be a good start, it isn’t nearly enough. Specifically, the administration must take a close look at the anti-parent movement and direct the Department of Justice to enforce civil rights and other federal laws to hold institutions and individuals accountable.
