The US Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision to support the Trump administration's freeze on $65 million in teacher-training grants intended to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The conservative majority expressed concerns over the administration's ability to reclaim the funds if they were spent before a lower court's order could be resolved. This ruling came after multiple states challenged the grant termination, arguing that it violated funding for essential teacher recruitment programs. Dissenting justices argued for the importance of maintaining state-level educational programs focusing on diversity and equity.
