Why judges blocked the Trump admin's school DEI crackdown

Why judges blocked the Trump admin's school DEI crackdowntoggle caption Alex Brandon/APThree federal judges, in Maryland, New Hampshire and Washington, D.C., ruled Thursday that the Trump administration had overstepped when it ordered the nation's schools to stop all diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs as well as classroom teaching the administration might consider discriminatory. The Education Department did not respond to an NPR request for comment. The three opinions, in three separate cases, raise similar concerns – and suggest the Trump administration has work to do to convince the courts its anti-DEI efforts are legal. The administration "does not even define what a 'DEI program' is"McCafferty, in New Hampshire, faulted the Trump administration for its vagueness. The Trump administration is likely to challenge all three rulings.
