Kevin Costner said that he wants President Donald Trump to emphasize history in educational curriculums moving forward.

The Dances With Wolves actor-director on Tuesday told the AP – amid rash changes the president is moving toward in the educational arena – ‘I wish we would have a giant shift in education where history dominated more than math.’

The Academy Award-winning actor said that the ‘people that are really good at math, they’re going to search out math anyway – cause that’s who they are, they’re just built that way.’

History was an important subject to emphasize, Costner said, as ‘everybody can understand where they come from.’

Costner, who’s explored passions such as the old West and America’s national pastime of baseball in his projects, graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a business administration degree in 1978.

Kevin Costner said that he wants President Donald Trump to emphasize history in educational curriculums moving forward.

Costner, who played the role of John Dutton on the hit series Yellowstone, has played his cards relatively close to the vest in recent years amid turbulent political times for both political parties.

Earlier this year, Costner – who had a scene in his 2014 football drama Draft Day opposite Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs – attended a Super Bowl bash in New Orleans this past February 8.

Speaking with Fox News, Costner stressed that Hollywood and Washington D.C. essentially need to be firewalled from one another.

Filmmaking should have ‘nothing to do with politics,’ Costner said, adding that film producers have to work with ‘the audience in mind’ in taking sharp political stances.

Costner told the outlet, ‘I think you make the best movie you can for an audience and understand that…you have a chance.

‘Every so often you have a chance to do something meaningful.

He added, ‘And sometimes it’s just pure fun. Movies don’t have to be important, but they have to have an audience in mind.’

Costner said that when it came to the moviegoing experience, he didn’t think it mattered ‘about party in office,’ but instead ‘about the people sitting in the dark.’

He added: ‘It’s got nothing to do with politics.’

Costner did return to his college campus in March of 2007, as he spoke for 450 people on the campus in Fullerton, California.

Other notable names to attend Costner’s alma mater of Cal State Fullerton include superstar singer Gwen Stefani, a native of nearby Anaheim, California; singer Adam Lambert; and Athletics manager Mark Kotsay.

‘Movies – when at their best – are really about moments we’ll never, ever forget,’ the Bull Durham actor said in the appearance.

Speaking at the school, Costner advised students to ‘listen to your inner voice’ and follow intuition in their lives and careers.

‘You’ll need to listen to your inner voice,’ he said. ‘There’s no blueprint for success … What’s really interesting is how you’re going to do it.’
