ACLU, Teachers’ Union files lawsuit against US Education Department for anti-DEI order

The US Department of Education ordered federally funded schools to eliminate DEI programs within 14 days or risk losing funding. The directive, backed by Trump, bans race-conscious policies in admissions, hiring, and scholarships. In response, the ACLU and teachers’ union sued, arguing it violates First Amendment rights. The case may reach the Supreme Court.
