Federal judge temporarily blocks the Trump administration's effort to ban DEI from K-12 education

A federal judge blocked the Trump administration's effort to cut funding for schools maintaining diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, citing potential First Amendment violations.
The Trump administration's directives lacked clear definitions, leading to confusion over what constitutes a DEI program, according to Judge Landya McCafferty.
Two separate lawsuits, including one from the American Federation of Teachers, led to rulings that postponed the implementation of anti-DEI guidance from the U.S. Department of Education.
Randi Weingarten stated that the court's decision protects the integrity of education and free speech.
