Federal Judges Block Trump's Cuts to Public Schools That Promote Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three federal judges on Thursday blocked Trump's plans to cut federal
funding from K-12 schools that have DEI - diversity, equity and
inclusion - programs. In one case, Judge Landya Mc Cafferty called
Trump's move "textbook viewpoint discrimination" and said the Education
Department "does not even define what a 'DEI program' is."
