A federal judge in New Hampshire barred the Education Department from pulling federal funds from schools that don’t eliminate DEI programs.

SACRAMENTO — California is suing the Trump administration over its threats to pull public school funding because of diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Education threatened to revoke funds from schools that don’t terminate their DEI programs.

Teachers unions and civil-rights groups sued to prevent the Education Department from cutting funding to K-12 schools and universities that did not cease what it called "discriminatory" DEI initiatives.
