A federal judge has directed the Trump administration to stop purging words it associates with diversity, equity and inclusion from Head Start grant applications and barred it from laying off any more federal employees in the federal Office of Head Start. The decision follows an April lawsuit by organizations representing Head Start providers and parents. They are challenging the Department of Health and Human Services' attempts to exclude children in the U.S. illegally and ban language associated with DEI efforts. A Health and Human Services spokesperson said he could not comment on the judge’s order.

The Trump administration is telling Head Start providers to avoid dozens of terms in federal grant applications, including “race,” “belonging” and “pregnant people.” The directive could reshape the early education program. A coalition of organizations representing Head Start providers and parents said in court filings last month that the Department of Health and Human Services told a Head Start director in Wisconsin to cut those and over a dozen other terms from her application. President Donald Trump’s administration associates the terms with diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, which it has vowed to root out across the government.
It's not just illegally affixing his name to the #KennedyCenter. The attack is much more: the #CivilRightsAct, #Vaccines, #USAID, #FoodStamps, #HeadStart, the Special #Olympics, etc. What we (we w/a conscience, empathy, & intelligence) hold dear.
& "who better to have on side in a crusade ag. Kennedy initiatives than a Kennedy? it also doubtless served a psychological need for the president. . . Trump must also be keenly aware that a Kennedy is subject to him."
