President Trump Petitions Supreme Court to Halt Teacher Training Grants Linked to DEI Initiatives

President Donald Trump is requesting the Supreme Court to suspend the allocation of millions of dollars in federal grants intended to mitigate teacher shortages. The administration asserts that these funds have been misappropriated to support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, which it aims to dismantle. This move aligns with the administration's broader strategy to eliminate DEI initiatives across various sectors.

The grants in question are part of the Teacher Quality Partnership (TQP) and Supporting Effective Educator Development (SEED) programs, designed to enhance teacher recruitment, training, and professional development. . .
