Summary
New York officials told the Trump administration they will not comply with its order to end diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in public schools, rejecting threats to cut federal funding.
In a letter, state education counsel Daniel Morton-Bentley said the U.S. Department of Education lacks authority to mandate such changes or withhold funds without due process.
The administration demanded schools certify compliance with federal civil rights laws within 10 days.
Critics say the order contradicts Trump’s promise to return control to states.
Oh? THAT is all that “critics” have to say? Nothing about the blatant racism and cruelty? Of using our children as political fodder? Of overstepping his authority?
Just “muh states rights”?
Those complaints are all “woke.” That one might get through to some idiots.
