Federal judge temporarily blocks the Trump administration's effort to ban DEI from K-12 education
A federal judge has blocked Trump administration directives that sought to cut funding for public schools with diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
U.S. District Court Judge Landya McCafferty stated that the directives were unconstitutionally vague and could violate teachers' free speech rights.
Randi Weingarten, president of the AFT, described the actions as a grave attack on students and honest history.
The lawsuit was initiated by the National Education Association and the American Civil Liberties Union, claiming unconstitutional guidance from the Trump administration.
