Education Department backs away from addressing Black kids' civil rights
Under Trump administration, efforts to address deep-rooted inequities for students of color are being cast as discriminatory against white students.

Programs that withstood legal scrutiny are now quick to be deemed “illegal” examples of diversity, equity and inclusion by the White House. Schools that fail to comply have faced threats to their funding and in some cases have lost federal grants.
