Judge rules against Trump administration's plan to end DEI efforts

A federal judge has struck down two Trump administration actions aimed at eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion programs at the nation’s schools and universities. In her ruling on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher in Maryland stated that the Education Department violated the law when it threatened to cut federal funding from educational institutions that continued with DEI initiatives. The judge’s ruling followed a motion for summary judgment from the American Federation of Teachers and the American Sociological Association, which challenged the government’s actions in a February lawsuit.

Trump’s DEI Executive Order: Only the Beginning of Attacks on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

President Trump’s recent executive order (EO) terminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives is a shattering setback for communities of color, the disabled, LGBTQ+ individuals, and women. By dismantling policies designed to promote equal opportunities and create diverse workplaces that look like America, this order undermines decades of progress toward a more inclusive society.

two things happened this week at school. one was that one of the students in the MDS classroom dressed up as Santa Claus and was brought around to every classroom, unannounced, with a Christmas tree ornament for each teacher

the other is that one of our staff spoke at an assembly using language that some teachers considered "preachy," which means it included "amens" and "yesses" as callbacks

I heard complaints about the latter, but not the former
