Thomas Jeffersons point on education is that he did not want to go out and have a state-wide tax paid for schools across the state of Virginia. Jefferson looked at what education was like growing up what it meant to himself and how he tried, often unsuccessfully, to improve education in Virginia. He had a troublesome time creating the University of Virginia because the idea of making another college other than his alma mater was all over the place. Jefferson wanted to make the University of Virginia an education for the elite of Virginia and to try and get it to help the state abolish slavery which the University still seems to struggle with today. What made it hard for Jefferson to make a University was his lack of education growing up and being young he never had a great education it was hard for him to really start a University or any other public school.
The way that Donald Trump looks at education is very different from Thomas
JeffersonΒs in that he wants everyone in the country to have the same education. The Trump administration went to school vouchers to help kids who have parents who dont have the income to send them to school, also allowing students to use funds from the taxpayers to go to private schools. In the state of Colorado, their state Supreme Court in the Public Education v. Douglas County School District found that the school district violated a religious belief in schools to base admissions. Trump and Jefferson have different ideas on state education Donald Trump is all about having taxpayers help pay for lower-income families kids to go to school whereas Jefferson thinks more on the side that you only go if you can really afford it. The Trump administration also has been a part of the financial aid which is to help lower-income students pay for education but the private schools have been using that as a way to exclude low-income students.
