1. N.Y. public schools tell Trump administration they won't comply with DEI order
New York state officials have told the Trump administration that they will not comply with its demands to end diversity, equity and inclusion practices in public schools, despite the administration's threats to terminate federal education funding.
Daniel Morton-Bentley, counsel and deputy commissioner of the state Department of Education, said in a letter dated Friday to the federal Education Department that state officials do not believe the federal agency has the authority to make such demands.
The Trump administration on Thursday ordered K-12 schools nationwide to certify that they are ending DEI practices.
