Recently, three federal judges in Maryland, New Hampshire, and Washington, D.C., ruled that the Trump administration exceeded its authority by attempting to curb diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in schools. These rulings prevent the U.S. Department of Education from penalizing schools that do not comply with the administration's demands, which could affect essential funding for disadvantaged students. The judges underscored the importance of academic freedom and highlighted legal failures in the government's approach to implementing its DEI restrictions.
U.S. District Judge Landya B. McCafferty emphasized the need to protect academic freedom, arguing that government actions threatening diverse viewpoints fundamentally undermine these principles.
Judge Stephanie A. Gallagher highlighted the importance of scrutinizing governmental policy implementation, concluding that the Trump administration failed to comply with legal requirements regarding DEI programs.
