The Department of Education can’t enforce its anti-diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in K-12 schools just yet.
A New Hampshire District Court judge Thursday granted a preliminary injunction to the National Education Association. Any entity that employs an NEA member is shielded from enforcement of the Education Department’s Feb. 14 “Dear Colleague” letter and the request for states and school districts to certify that they were following the Trump administration’s orders intended to end DEI in K-12 education.
Because the NEA has over 3 million members, the court order effectively immobilizes the Education Department’s ability to revoke funding based on its anti-DEI orders.
