Two federal judges have restricted the Trump administration's enforcement of anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) directives aimed at schools and colleges. The rulings, from judges in Maryland and New Hampshire, were prompted by lawsuits from the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association, among others. They argue that the department overstepped its authority with the directives, noting also that the restrictions curb academic freedom. Judge Stephanie Gallagher said: “The government cannot proclaim entire categories of classroom content discriminatory to sidestep the bounds of its statutory authority,” highlighting the administration's procedural missteps. Judge Landya McCafferty noted that the vagueness of the directives could lead schools to eliminate DEI programs to avoid penalties. The Education Department's perceived lack of clarity on what constitutes impermissible DEI practices has raised concerns among educators. The unions hailed the rulings as a victory for educational freedom and equity. The case will now proceed as the court considers whether to permanently block the Department’s directive.

Texas lawmakers have approved SB 2, a significant $1bn education bill that allows families to utilize public funds for private school tuition. This legislation, which has garnered support from President Donald Trump, is seen as a major win for school voucher advocates. Gov. Greg Abbott is expected to sign the bill into law promptly. The program aims to assist up to 90,000 students in its first year, with potential growth to nearly $4.5bn annually by 2030. Supporters argue that the vouchers will enable parents to move their children from underperforming public schools, while critics contend that it will undermine public education by diverting essential resources. As Abbott noted, “the push in Texas had failed in the face of stiff resistance,” but this new measure marks a turning point in the ongoing debate over educational choice.
