#NY public schools tell #Trump administration they won’t comply with #DEI order

By DAVE COLLINS
Updated 3:14 PM EDT, April 5, 2025

Excerpt: "The demand specifically threatens #TitleI funding, which sends billions of dollars a year to America’s schools and targets #LowIncome areas.

"Morton-Bentley wrote that the state Education Department has already certified to the federal government on multiple occasions that it is complying with #TitleVI of the #CivilRightsAct of 1964, most recently in January. He said the federal department is basing its demands to end DEI programs on a faulty legal interpretation.

"'Given the fact that you are already in possession of guarantees by NYSED that it has and will comply with Title VI, no further certification will be forthcoming,' he wrote.

"He also said the administration’s stance is an 'abrupt shift' from the one taken by the first Trump administration, citing comments in 2020 made by then-U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos that #diversity and #inclusion were 'cornerstones of high organizational performance.' He wrote the administration has provided no explanation of why it changed positions."

A répondu dans un fil de discussion

En #France "4 500 institutions ont signé la #CharteDeLaDiversité, « mais, en réalité, ce n’est pour beaucoup qu’une pétition de principe. Du moins pour les #discriminations liées aux #origines. …on parle désormais du #genre, des #LGBTQ+ et des personnes #trans, mais on ne parle toujours pas des #Noirs et des #Arabes », estime #YazidSabeg, ancien commissaire à la #diversité et à l’#égalitéDesChances (2008-2012)."

🤬 #SCOTUS allows #Trump officials to freeze #teacher training grants over *#DEI*

A divided #SupremeCourt on Fri cleared the way for the admin to at least temporarily freeze up to $65M in #educational grants designed to address #TeacherShortages, which the govt says fund programs that promote #diversity, #equity & #inclusion [as they should, though the Trump admin’s definition of DEI is humanity].

More of this please:

The #NY State #Education Dept issued a defiant response to #Trump’s threats to pull federal #funding from #PublicSchools over #diversity, #equity & #inclusion programs, a remarkable departure from recent conciliatory approaches of other institutions. A day earlier, the federal govt issued a memo to education ofcls across the nation, telling them to confirm the elimination of all programs it argues *unfairly* promote #DEI.

A US attempt to stop diversity initiatives in Europe faces backlash.

Efforts by the US government to eliminate diversity initiatives have not been well-received in Europe, after companies in France received a letter saying Trump's rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives could also apply outside the US.

France, Belgium and Spain are pushing back against the letter.

France slams US 'interference' in firms' diversity programs: 'France and Europe will defend their values'.

France's trade ministry condemned "unacceptable" US interference on Saturday after the US embassy in Paris sent several French firms letters warning against using the diversity programs known as "DEI", a frequent Donald Trump target.

"Of all the trends at the fall runway shows, including the uptick in fur (or fur-alike) clothing, the rise of clothing with built-in power curves and the preponderance of black leather, the single most ubiquitous one was the worst: the erosion of size inclusivity.

Ironically, as fashion embraces (and creates) faux womanly figures by design, the actual bodies inside the clothes are shrinking."
