ICE thought they would get up early this morning and grab parents as they walked their kids to school in the Jackson Heights neighborhood.

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."

NY public schools tell Trump administration they won't comply with DEI order
New York state school officials have told the Trump administration that they will not comply with its demands to end diversity, equity and inclusion practices, despite the administration’s threats to terminate federal education funding. New York officials say there are no federal or state laws prohibiting DEI programs, and they questioned whether the federal Department of Education has the authority to demand states comply with its demands on DEI. The U.S. Department of Education did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment. The Trump administration on Thursday ordered K-12 schools nationwide to certify that they are ending DEI practices, as a condition for receiving federal money.
