Dozens of education department workers are put on leave over Trump's anti-DEI order
Dozens of employees at the US department of education were placed on paid administrative leave following President Trump's executive order banning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. While the exact number and reasons for leave are unclear, many of those affected had participated in voluntary diversity training. This move comes amid broader efforts to reduce federal programs and workers. Trump’s order aims to eliminate DEI staff across the government, which he claims are part of a "radical" agenda.
