New York public schools tell Trump administration they won't comply with DEI order

Ah, let's rewrite history once again.


Okay. Post the audio or video where Trump said the suckers and losers line. If you post it, I will apologize and permanently leave the board. Fair?
 
'New York state officials have told the Trump administration that they will not comply with its demands to end diversity, equity and inclusion practices in public schools, despite the administration’s threats to terminate federal education funding. Daniel Morton-Bentley, counsel and deputy commissioner of the state Department of Education, said in a letter dated Friday to the federal Education Department that state officials do not believe the federal agency has the authority to make such demands.

“We understand that the current administration seeks to censor anything it deems ‘diversity, equity & inclusion,’” he wrote. “But there are no federal or State laws prohibiting the principles of DEI.” Morton-Bentley also wrote state officials were “unaware” of any authority the federal Department of Education has to demand that states agree with its interpretation of court decisions or to terminate funding without a formal administrative process.’


Very good.

New York public schools is on the right side of history.

More states need to stand up and defy the fascist Trump regime.
This is great news! Trump will end DEI and cut the state off. May New York rest in peace. Maybe they should secede to Canada.
 
Trumps EO gets rid of DEI, and everything that entails. Even inclusion for disabled veterans.

As they say, be careful what you wish for, or write into broadly worded executive orders.

You can't even see the plane that dropped the first atomic bomb since it was scrubbed off government websites.
Because it was DEI.
Would it be easier for a computer program to find key words and delete, then to pay someone to try to find it? Even then, when a mistake occurs, it can be put back on the website.
 
And they were served by "DEI" programs and personnel..
If you get rid of DEI, you get rid of the people who serviced disabled veterans.
Totally incorrect ... ending the ridiculous DEI programs does not rescind the affirmative action requirements related to veterans and individuals with disabilities. These groups will continue to benefit from longstanding federal protections that remain in effect (i.e. The Veterans Preference Act, Americans with Disability Act, Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act) and are completely independent from DEI.

But they just fired the people who provide the services! How does that ensure veterans get what they’re owed?

He said it off camera. All because he didn't want to get his hair wet.

Federal funding from a department that’s closing? Looks like Trump is getting hoisted by his own picard!
