Trump 2.0 ends federal funding for woke programs at universities.

/6 Comments/in /by

It’s long been apparent that the only way to rein in the radical left that dominates academia is to cut off their money. Although these actions certainly fit with color-blind conservative ideology, it does mention discrimination against Whites (and Asians) and specifically targets CRT which is nothing but anti-White hate. So I think the ruling is an important step in the right direction. From: “Education Department Cancels Another $350M in Contracts, Grants.”

On Feb. 10, the Trump administration said it canceled nearly $900 million in Institute of Education Sciences contracts. Then, on Thursday night—in a news release titled “U.S. Department of Education Cancels Additional $350 Million in Woke Spending”—the department announced the severing of the REL contracts.

“Review of the contracts uncovered wasteful and ideologically driven spending not in the interest of students and taxpayers,” the department said. It said REL Midwest “has been advising schools in Ohio to undertake ‘equity audits’ and equity conversations.”

… The release also said the department “terminated grants to four Equity Assistance Centers totaling $33 million, which supported divisive training in DEI, critical race theory and gender identity for state and local education agencies as well as school boards.” It didn’t hint at restoring this funding. …

On Thursday afternoon, [Christopher] Rufo, a senior fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute, posted on X a few examples of what he had telegraphed as “a trove of insane videos, slides and documents from the Department of Education. The whole department functions like a Ponzi scheme for left-wing ideologies.”

This should certainly help. And there’s also the ruling that DEI violates Civil Rights law by the Education Department’s Office of Civil Rights. Excerpt:

Ed Department: DEI Violates Civil Rights Law

In a sweeping and unprecedented letter issued over the weekend, the Office for Civil Rights declared race-based scholarships, cultural centers and even graduation ceremonies illegal.

 

The Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights issued a letter prohibiting all race-based programming and spending at colleges.

The Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights declared all race-conscious student programming, resources and financial aid illegal over the weekend and threatened to investigate and rescind federal funding for any institution that does not comply within 14 days.

In a Dear Colleague letter published late Friday night, acting assistant secretary for civil rights Craig Trainor outlined a sweeping interpretation of the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, which struck down affirmative action. While the decision applied specifically to admissions, the Trump administration believes it extends to all race-conscious spending, activities and programming at colleges.

“In recent years, American educational institutions have discriminated against students on the basis of race, including white and Asian students,” Trainor wrote. “These institutions’ embrace of pervasive and repugnant race-based preferences and other forms of racial discrimination have emanated throughout every facet of academia.”

The letter mentions a wide range of university programs and policies that could be subject to an OCR investigation, including “hiring, promotion, compensation, financial aid, scholarships, prizes, administrative support, discipline, housing, graduation ceremonies, and all other aspects of student, academic, and campus life.”

“Put simply, educational institutions may neither separate or segregate students based on race, nor distribute benefits or burdens based on race,” Trainor writes.

    We need something like that in Britain where English taxpayers are expected to fund our own demise.

    Incedible ingenious parasitic business model as tranny by conviction. This is a surefire way to cash in on the anti-German fake “state” – which is actually a deliberate misconstruction by the victorious powers to eliminate Germany. As a bonus, you are even allowed to use the ladies’ rooms of the courts, which will award you a rich, unearned extra income!
