Trump officials bar 'race,' other terms in Head Start grant applications
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.

#USCongress is pushing through so many proposals. The #houseofrepresentatives just approved by 2 votes (214-212) HR4 which claws back $9.4b in funding for #PBS #USAID and other items.
I watched as much of the debate as I could, but it was just pure animus and cruelty. The loss of funding will affect #EmergencyManagement for rural areas that rely on these public broadcasts and alerts for fire and weather danger.
