States begin falling in line with Trump’s mandate to strip DEI from schools ahead of looming deadline

President Donald Trump extended the deadline until April 24 for the states and educational provinces to ratify compliance with his executive order prohibiting the DEI policies, and a spokesman for the Ministry of Education confirmed to Fox News Digital.

“Federal financial assistance is a privilege, not really,” Craig Trinor said in a statement.

“Unfortunately, we have seen a lot of schools flowing or violating these obligations directly, including the use of DEI programs to discriminate against a group of Americans in favor of another based on the characteristics of identity in a clear violation of the sixth bank.”

Until now, several states have either accused of compliance with it or indicated their intention to do so, while the blue states such as New York, Minnesota and Illinois have challenged this week in the face of the threat of management financing. The Minister of Education, Linda McMahon, praised Puerto Rico in a post on X “because he is the first to repel that discrimination or allocating the harmful race is not permitted in your classroom.”

“Every state that wants to continue receiving federal funds must follow,” McMahon said on Tuesday.

On Monday, Willie Gate, the Minnesota Education Commissioner, said that the Dei’s financing threats “without support in the law or the requirements in force display major programs that depend on students and schools every day.”

The Illinois Education Council also issued a huge response to the threats, saying that the administration “once again threatens to finance the children of Illinois and try to exercise power on every region in the country – even claiming that it belongs to education to the states.”

“Illinois will never hesitate to commit to the help of every child from every society, background, social and economic situation, sex, and race – which is compatible with federal laws and state laws and values,” the board of directors said in a statement.

Federal financing represents 16 % of the Chicago public school budget – more than one billion dollars – and 6.4 billion dollars at the state level, according to a report issued by Axios on Thursday.

Wisconsin also deceives Trump’s demands, and the Ministry of Public Education published in the state message Raise “Many Fears” with the requirements of the president’s certificate on Wednesday.

Benjamin Jones, a lawyer who represents the Ministry of Public Education in Wisconsin, wrote in a letter that Wisconsin had “approved assurances of compliance with federal law”, including “federal laws Concerning not discrimination“

He described Trump’s order as “unauthorized, unconstitutional, and a mysterious constitutional.”

“We are very worried that that [certification requirement] The federal bureaucracy is allowed to threaten the loss of decisive education financing in order to dictate the policies of the local education agency and decisions on what is better for children, “the letter said.

But Trump is gaining support from other countries led by Republicans, and many of them are already pushing for a tougher ban on Dei’s initiatives in public colleges. She studied states such as Western Virginia, Iowa, Indiana, Texas, Ouhayu, or developed measures to restrict DEI programs, training and scholarships. In Ohio, the state’s Senate passed a bill to eliminate Dei’s activities, while the Senate in Indiana suggested legislation prohibiting faculty members of DEI support for non -compliance penalties.

The Ministry of Education in New Hampshire advised school leaders to evaluate their DEI programs to comply with the new federal directives, and the Ministry of Education in Indiana announced that it will collect signatures from the regions and schools that come true.

The certificate document cited the ninth admission, which indicates that no one “on the basis of race, color, or national origin is excluded from participation, is rejected from the benefits, or is subject to discrimination under any program or activity that receives federal financial assistance.”

The certificate comes after the letter of Aziz, a colleague of the Civil Rights Office of the Ministry of Education, was sent in February to inform educational areas and universities K-12 to end all “admission, employment, promotion, compensation, financial assistance, scholarships, awards, administrative support, discipline, housing, renewal, and all other aspects of students, academic camps” based on the race.

In January, Trump released “the extreme end of K-12 education”, an executive matter, which is prohibited from K-12 schools of educational materials that are hostile to America or enhance “gender ideology” and critical race theory. The law stipulates that the law enforcement is the investigation of educational institutions suspected of strengthening such content and the trial of criminal teachers who help in the social transition of minors.
