New York Attorney General Letitia James, alongside 18 other state attorneys general, is suing the Trump administration over its recent directive to end diversity, equity, and inclusion practices in schools. The mandate from the U.S. Department of Education threatens funding for schools that do not comply, which James argues is unlawful and unconstitutional. New York and other states have refused to sign a certification required by the Department, emphasizing their commitment to civil rights compliance. The coalition seeks a court ruling to reverse the implementation of this directive.
Attorney General Letitia James stated that the Education Department's actions are 'unprecedented and unlawful,' putting at risk vital funding for low-income students.
The coalition of attorneys general argues that the Education Department's mandate compromises civil rights laws and penalizes schools adhering to diversity and inclusion.
