Education association sues Trump admin over DEI guidance
Briefly

Legal disputes against the Education Department's directive requiring colleges to eliminate race-based programming continue to escalate. The National Education Association and the American Civil Liberties Union, following a lawsuit by the American Federation of Teachers, are contesting the enforcement of the February guidance. They argue that this directive threatens public schools' role in fostering democracy by imposing vague restrictions that could lead to discriminatory practices. The NEA seeks a court ruling to block the Department from enforcing the guidance, claiming it endangers students' rights and educational values.
The Trump administration is threatening to punish students, parents, and educators in public schools for fostering inclusive classrooms where diversity is valued, history is taught honestly, and every child can grow into their full brilliance.
The NEA alleges that the Dear Colleague letter imposes vague and viewpoint discriminatory prohibitions, invites arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement, and causes substantial, irreparable harm.
