The U.S. Department of Education under President Donald Trump has issued an ultimatum to all federally funded educational institutions: eliminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs within 14 days, or face the complete withdrawal of federal funding.
The directive, outlined in a letter from the Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR), comes in response to “pervasive and repugnant race-based preferences” that have turned America’s schools into indoctrination camps.
The letter explicitly warns schools, universities, and state education agencies that their reliance on DEI initiatives—which serve as racial discrimination—violates federal civil rights law.
According to the document, which cites the Supreme Court’s landmark 2023 ruling in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, the Department of Education has found that DEI programs not only promote racial division but also directly contradict federal anti-discrimination laws.
As of Saturday, the WCBOE had listed on it’s “Mission” Statement they followed DEI guidance on supposedly “non discrimination” policies.
This needs to be removed immediately. America is NOT going to stand for any policy that favors any race, gender, or any other category of people over another. We will judge folks on their merits and who they are.
The wording is slick though but at the end of the day EQUITY is NOT EQUALITY.
4:04 – Absolutely correct. If the Super had any real stones all the DEI advocates and supporters would be removed/demoted. This garbage is NOT what the majority ever wanted.
Maryland pay attention! Finally common sense is back!
