Schools K-12 facing the main Trump test on the DEI request

Requesting the Ministry of Education with estimates from the province of K-12 and state officials that their schools are free of diversity, shares and integration programs (Dei) The open challenge from the blue states and the weapons open by Al-Hamra.

With the highlight of a blatant gap on this issue, the states including New York and Minnesota tell the federal government that they will not sign any such certificate, while many red states already collect signatures from their regions.

The case raises the first major test of the local states and regions that are mistaken in the agenda of President Trump, which showed an ready aggression in the follow -up of colleges and universities that are believed to be outside the line.

“I am in reservation, to a large extent … I mean, all we do is Dei,” said a director of a country led by the Republicans and supervises the school of 95 per cent of the indigenous Americans, which asked not to reveal its identity due to the sensitivity of the matter.

“We don’t already have a plan for it,” the director added on the certification letter. “In speaking to some other provinces officials, it is a kind of situation,” we will see what happens when it is settled in the courts. […] “We will worry about it when the time comes,” “Not everyone thinks.” It is just a kind of disbelief, which is really frustrated. “

April 3 letter was sent to state officials and regions to ratify that institutions “comply with anti -discrimination obligations”, including clearance of Dei programs, which Trump hates and expanded to the judiciary through executive procedures.

On the extended date, the Ministry of Education now says that their officials are until April 24 to comply.

If the programs do not disappear, the administration can be withdrawn from the K-12 areas. Federal funds constitute about 10 percent of financing for public schools, with some differences based on the need, and at the level of sexual intercourse, Trump targeted the speed of schools that disturb him.

“Unfortunately, we have seen many schools flowing or violating these obligations directly, including using Dei programs to discriminate against a group of Americans in their favor in favor of identity characteristics in a clear violation of the sixth bank,” wrote Craig Treenor, Acting Minister of Civil Law in the Ministry of Education, in the letter of certification.

“For some states, this will be an issue,” said Sasha Bodelski, director of the Da`wah at the School Supervisors Association.

“I think it is important to realize that there will be a lot of diversity in how countries respond to this and how to inform them of the provinces, or how it links the responsibility of the boycott in responding to this,” said Budelsky.

Republican -led states, including Indiana and Akla, publicly said they would comply with the guidance. Other red countries are likely to agree that many of them, including Florida and Texas, have laws on books that are already divided into Dei.

“We will guarantee to understand all educational areas and adhere to the law accordingly,” said Ryan Walters, Director of Oklahoma, Ryan Walters.

But other countries, including Colorado and Minnesota, are digging.

Minnesota sent a letter to respond to the Ministry of Education, saying that the certificate “seeks to change the terms and conditions of federal financial assistance granted to MDE without an official administrative process.”

The states say that there is no official definition of Dei and that Minnesota schools are all followed by federal law.

“As mentioned in the beginning, the MDE has already provided the desired guarantee that it has and will comply with its sixth address and its implementation, and this includes our guarantee that we are doing it and we will agree with the cases of the Supreme Court that it explains. We send this message to serve as our response to this specified request.”

The hill continues to the Ministry of Education to comment.

The K-12 Certificate Memorandum came after the administration sent a message “Dear Colleague” on February 14, which told universities to get rid of Dei programs or risk federal financing.

The National Education Association, which was already challenging the message of the “dear colleague” of colleges in the court, added a certificate of K-12 to the case.

The organization and the Ministry of Education reached an agreement not to take any enforcement action on any of the messages until April 24, as the case continues.

Bodelsky said that some of the provinces were already discussing this issue after the message of “Aziz Al -Zamil” in February to universities, assuming that it would face something similar.

According to the documents of the Ministry of Education that were issued as part of the lawsuit, if the program is used specifically, it is the words of diversity, fairness or inclusion, it does not matter the administration in that it violates the sixth address.

“Schools may not manage policies or programs under any name that treat students differently based on race, engaging in racist stereotypes, or creating anti -students from certain races. For example, schools that focus on interests that focus on all students, and assume the areas in the world,”.

“However, schools must think about whether any school programming does not encourage members of all races from attendance, either by excluding or discouraging students in a specific race or races, or by creating hostile environments on the basis of race for students who participate,” he added.

David Le Lu, the director of Minnesota, said, after the response of its government officials, that schools are waiting only to know what is happening and have not changed any of their programs, adding, “Part of the executive order that talks about” Di Al -Dhari “, I think that if I spoke to my colleagues throughout the state, there is a question about that exactly? Because we do not think, we do not think that we are doing Di harm in our schools.”

Some schools in the Republican Party countries play the same waiting game, but without supporting leaders at the state level.

“I think part of the position of some stakeholders above me is that we will fly under the radar, and this scares me a lot as a professional […] “We cannot rely on flying under the radar, because this will not save my license,” said the director in the red state, which described her area in her area.

In her school, the principal said that there are programs for new teachers to understand cultural standards due to the high percentage of indigenous Americans, and the school has events on issues such as indigenous women.

“It is not a designer to make people feel a kind of road, which is depicted in the news about the brainwashing and exposure to them for all these ethically suspicious things about transgender people and such things that you often hear about the news. This is not a kind of training that we offer when we talk about cultural sensitivity, but we use the attachments to pay to speakers in payment. The director added.
