Educators sue US Department of Education over ban on diversity practices, citing free speech violations
A lawsuit was filed by educator groups challenging the US Department of Education's new civil rights guidance on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The groups argue that the guidance misinterprets the law, threatens free speech, and could hinder race-related educational activities. The plaintiffs claim the guidance is vague and oversteps the department's authority, calling it a violation of First Amendment rights and civil rights protections for students and educators, as reported by Chalkbeat.
