The Trump administration announced it would withhold over $65 million in federal grants from magnet schools in New York City, Chicago, and Fairfax County due to their refusal to change policies on transgender students and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. These actions follow accusations that such policies violate civil rights laws by allegedly discriminating based on race and sex. The departments threatened to cancel funding after districts declined to overhaul their programs promptly. This enforcement exemplifies the administration’s ongoing stance against certain diversity programs in K-12 education.
