The U.S. Department of Education has mandated that state education agencies certify their schools are in compliance with a controversial interpretation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by stipulating that they do not promote diversity, equity, and inclusion practices as deemed illegal by the administration. Schools failing to comply within ten days could lose federal funding, which affects high-poverty districts more severely. This action follows the Supreme Court's ruling in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, echoing a larger trend against diversity initiatives in education.
The threat from the Trump administration mandates that state education agencies certify adherence to a restrictive interpretation of Title VI, risking federal funding for noncompliance.
Federal financial assistance is a privilege, not a right, reminding state education officials of their commitment to federal antidiscrimination requirements when accepting funds.
