Trump's Education Department is backing away from addressing civil rights for Black students
The Trump administration is shifting away from addressing civil rights for Black students, framing efforts to promote equity as discriminatory against white students. This has led to investigations and funding threats against schools implementing diversity programs. Civil rights advocates argue that these actions undermine historical progress and harm entire school communities.
- ▪The Trump administration has labeled long-standing equity programs as 'illegal DEI'.
- ▪Schools that do not comply with the administration's stance have faced funding threats and lost federal grants.
- ▪The Education Department stated that programs must follow the law prohibiting racial discrimination.
