Trump’s war on DEI reaches America’s deafblind students
The Trump administration has cut federal funding for deafblind education programs in eight states, citing “divisive” DEI language in grant applications. The $1 million loss dismantles a 40-year support network serving over 1,000 children. Advocates warn the decision abandons America’s most vulnerable students, turning a political war on diversity, equity, and inclusion into a devastating blow for families.
