The Department of Education sent letters on Thursday to state education commissioners, warning them to end unlawful diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at K-12 schools or face loss of federal funding.
The letters, sent to all state commissioners overseeing state education agencies, told the officials that they must certify within 10 days their compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws and the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down affirmative action. If schools retain programs with identity-based stipulations, their federal funding could be slashed, the education department warned.
