The ACLU, along with six early childhood organizations, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, accusing it of unlawfully dismantling the Head Start program without necessary Congressional approval. The suit highlights that the administration's decisions to strip the program of its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts lack clarity and violate teachers' free speech. Additionally, the changes are alleged to infringe upon Congressional mandates regarding funding and staffing levels, as specified by the Head Start Act. This legal action emphasizes the significant impact on 800,000 low-income families served by the program.
The American Civil Liberties Union, representing organizations including six early childhood programs, has sued the Trump administration, alleging it has unlawfully dismantled Head Start.
The lawsuit cites violations of the Head Start Act, claiming the Trump's administration's actions do not have Congressional backing and risk federal funding.
