For much of the past decade, the diversity, equity, and inclusion movement has held education in America hostage. The Left has used this ideology to justify countless absurdities in U.S. schools, including telling four-year-olds that this country is racist, allowing boys in girls’ sports, and firing teachers based on race, regardless of performance or seniority.When President Donald Trump took office for the second time, he issued two executive orders, one ending merit-based workforce balancing and another regarding radical indoctrination, to eradicate DEI practices from taxpayer-funded programs and activities. These executive orders sent shockwaves through the U.S.’s school districts and colleges. No longer could taxpayer-funded universities maintain DEI practices that discriminated based on the race of their students and faculty. The administration now requires these institutions to follow the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, which ruled that the Federal Constitution and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ban racial preferences in college admissions.
THE RULE CHANGE THAT COULD GUT THE LEFT’S FEDERAL FUNDING MACHINE
Indeed, in recent weeks, the Justice Department has moved to address racial discrimination against Asian and white people in the admissions process at numerous medical schools, including at Yale, universities of California, Los Angeles, and San Diego, Stanford, and Ohio State. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon declared, “This department will continue to shed light on these illegal practices, and demand that institutions of higher education comply with federal law.”
