Numerous groups and members of Congress have expressed deep concern over the recent report by Parents Defending Education revealing the Department of Education has spent over $1 billion for grants supporting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (D.E.I.) programs in schools around the nation. Such programs openly violate laws designed to end racial and sex discrimination in schools — laws that the Department of Education is charged with enforcing.
Examples of these statements of concern include:
The Parents Defending Education report reveals that since 2021, the Biden administration's Department of Education has spent over $1 billion for 229 D.E.I. grants.
The PDE report documents grants (including one to UConn) that were awarded amounting to $489,883,797 on D.E.I hiring efforts, $343,337,286 for D.E.I programming and $169,301,221 for Based Mental Health /Social Emotional Learning (SEL).
K-12 school districts across the country have implemented policies or plans that base the hiring and retention of teachers and staff on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. (D.E.I)
For example, the Illinois Math and Science Academy now requires “that every faculty opening requires interviewing at least two candidates who identify as a Black, Indigenous Person of Color.” The school also states that it will “incorporate best practices on diversity, equity and inclusion” in the hiring process which includes “critical race theory.”
Over the past four years, the Department of Education has allowed itself to become politicized by persons seeking to use the student loan program to gain favor among young voters to win their vote during the November 5 elections; to enshrine into law an unscientific and dangerous definition of “gender identity;” and now to instill un-American D.E.I programs in the nations’ schools.
No wonder so many are now calling for the abolition of the US Department of Education.
