NAACP sues U.S. Education Department over DEI school funding cuts
Briefly

The NAACP has launched a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education, accusing it of trying to unlawfully cut funding for schools that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. This move is seen as part of the Trump administration's broader strategy to eliminate racial preferences in education. The NAACP's complaint asserts that the Education Department's recent directives violate civil rights laws and compromise educational fairness for Black students, as well as distort interpretations of the Constitution. The lawsuit arrives amid significant controversy and backlash against the lifting of such educational programs that foster inclusivity.
The NAACP argued that the Trump administration's push to end diversity, equity, and inclusion programs undermines educational equality for Black students and misinterprets civil rights laws.
The complaint highlights that the U.S. Department of Education's actions target curricula aimed at providing inclusive education and essential policies for equal access to educational opportunities.
