Trump Administration Abandons Appeal Over DEI Funding in Schools
TL;DR
The Trump administration dropped its appeal of a court ruling blocking its plan to withhold federal education funds from schools that refused to sign anti-DEI attestations, after a Maryland judge found the move procedurally faulty and potentially violative of free speech. The suit, brought by the AFT, the American Sociological Association, and a Eugene, Oregon school district, had halted the funding threat, but officials say there are other ways the administration may continue to push back on DEI programs.
