A close look at the Department of Education's grant funding shows that millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent at universities to train social workers to push Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at K-12 schools.
Now that President Donald Trump has banned that kind of funding, schools will have to find workarounds or drop the programs altogether.
The parental rights group, Parents Defending Education, released a report this week showing over $100 million in Education Department "social work" awards for colleges and universities that has increasingly been used to push DEI ideas into the classroom.
Trump's executive order may push the social work DEI programs to become less obvious, avoiding certain radioactive phrases but pursuing many of the same goals.
Many of these schools now have a choice: Drop the DEI social work model altogether or go underground.
How these operations pivot with the ban on DEI funding remains to be seen.
