Schools have 10 days to comply with Trump anti-DEI policy or face losing federal funds
Briefly

The Trump administration has intensified efforts to eradicate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices in U.S. schools, particularly by imposing a strict 10-day deadline for districts and states to certify their compliance. This memorandum could severely impact substantial federal funding, crucial for various educational services, including special education and school meals. Consequently, many Californian colleges have already removed DEI programs. The push represents a broader federal policy aimed at ending affirmative action across the educational landscape, reflecting a significant shift in the administration's approach to anti-discrimination enforcement.
The Trump administration is significantly ramping up pressure on K-12 schools nationwide, particularly in California, mandating a swift cessation of diversity initiatives with a looming deadline.
Federal funding for education, while complex, plays a crucial role, especially in California where districts like Los Angeles Unified School District rely on it heavily and face severe penalties.
