Judge Blocks Trump's School DEI Ban as Unconstitutional
A federal judge issued an injunction blocking Trump's executive order banning DEI programs in K-12 schools, ruling it violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments. The court found the administration had overstepped its authority by conditioning federal education funding on ideological conformity. The ruling protected schools from losing federal aid for maintaining diversity programs.
