Zuckerberg Shutters Schools for Communities of Color as Trump Cracks Down on DEI

The Primary School, a tuition-free school founded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and pediatrician Priscilla Chan in 2016, announced its closure due to funding shortfalls. The decision coincides with growing scrutiny from conservative factions within the Zuckerberg camp, reminiscent of President Trump's crackdown on diversity efforts. Families reliant on the school for resources like healthcare and education face significant disruption, as contributions dropped by nearly half in a year alone. While the school offered modest financial aid, its closure leaves many families without much-needed support, especially considering the high costs of other private schools.
