The Trump administration has mandated that K-12 schools and universities in the U.S. cease all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs within two weeks or risk losing federal funding. This includes the decision to cancel $600 million in grants for teacher training on race and social justice topics. Critics, including education scholar Julian Vasquez Heilig, warn this could lead to a significant shift in the education structure, likening the current situation to a crisis reminiscent of McCarthyism as the administration seeks to reshape educational policies to align with its political agenda.
The Trump administration has issued a two-week ultimatum for schools and universities across the United States to end all programs related to diversity, equity and inclusion - DEI - or risk losing federal funding.
This comes as President Donald Trump has said he wants to abolish the agency and tapped major Trump donor and former professional wrestling executive Linda McMahon to carry out that goal.
