President Trump is ordering U.S. schools to stop teaching what he views as "critical race theory" and other material dealing with race and sexuality or risk losing their federal money.

The measures seek to fulfill some of the Republican president's core campaign promises around education, though it's unclear how much power he has to enact the proposals.

President Donald Trump has signed two executive orders on school funding that fulfill promises he made on the campaign trail. The orders take action to stop schools from teaching the so-called "critical race theory" and other topics on race and sexuality.
