Swift<p>My child has not been in school for 2 months suffering with <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/mentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mentalHealth</span></a> problems. Yesterday I went to a <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/parents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>parents</span></a> evening and talked with most of his <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/teachers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>teachers</span></a>. Every one of them offered something: special classes, sending work home, suggested timetable changes, <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/school" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>school</span></a> swaps, video calls... And they all expressed their sadness that my child wasn't able to be in class. </p><p>Teachers have a HARD job, so to offer all this was amazing, I was moved to tears by the care and humanity they showed.

Judge halts enforcement of Trump administration’s anti-DEI orders in education</p><p>The ruling bars the administration from proceeding with its plans for a so-called “End DEI” portal and a certification requirement. It applies to any entity with ties to the plaintiff organizations.</p><p>By Steven Porter Globe Staff,Updated April 24, 2025, 1:03 p.m.</p><p>CONCORD, N.H. — "A federal judge in New Hampshire issued a preliminary injunction on Thursday blocking the Trump administration from following through on threats to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/defund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>defund</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/schools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>schools</span></a> that defy its directives on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/diversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diversity</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/equity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>equity</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/inclusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>inclusion</span></a>.<br> <br>"In an 82-page order, Chief Judge Landya B. McCafferty said the administration’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiDEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AntiDEI</span></a> interpretation of federal law, as expressed in a letter the US Department of Education distributed in February, fails to give teachers clarity about what exactly the government requires of them.</p><p>" 'When a law fails to provide ‘minimal guidelines’ governing its enforcement, it may sweep in so much conduct that enforcement decisions become based on the ‘personal predilections’ of the person or entity bringing the enforcement action,' she wrote, ruling that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed in proving the directives are unconstitutionally vague.</p><p>"McCafferty wrote that the February letter, in combination with the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EducationDepartment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EducationDepartment</span></a>’s public statements about it and the launch of an '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EndDEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EndDEI</span></a>' portal, 'raise the specter of a public ‘witch hunt’ that will sow fear and doubt among <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/teachers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>teachers</span></a> lest they be publicly branded as peddlers of ‘divisive ideologies’ based on the Department’s — or even private parties’ — subjective assessments.'</p><p>"What’s more, teachers would face the risk of professional consequences whether they comply with the federal government’s anti-DEI directives or not, she added. The certification requirements for English teachers in New Hampshire, for example, require educators to consider <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>literature</span></a> 'through various <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriticalLenses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CriticalLenses</span></a>,' such as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ethnicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ethnicity</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>religion</span></a>, or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SocioEconomic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocioEconomic</span></a> conditions, she noted.</p><p>"This lawsuit was first filed by attorneys with the National Education Association [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NEA</span></a>] and the American Civil Liberties Union [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACLU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ACLU</span></a>], who allege the administration is violating the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DueProcess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DueProcess</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSpeech</span></a> rights of teachers. </p><p>"Sarah Hinger, deputy director of the ACLU’s racial justice program, hailed Thursday’s ruling as a win for academic freedom.</p><p>" 'Every student deserves an education that reflects the full diversity of our society, free from political interference,' Hinger said in a statement. 'The federal government has no authority to dictate what schools can and cannot teach to serve its own agenda, and this ruling is an important step in reaffirming that.'</p><p>"The Center for Black Educator Development and six public school districts in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NewHampshire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NewHampshire</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Vermont" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vermont</span></a> have since agreed to sign on as plaintiffs as well. </p><p>"State education commissioners were given until Thursday to submit certifications that their schools are complying with the federal government’s interpretation of the law, but McCafferty’s ruling bars the administration from proceeding with that certification requirement. It also bars the government from using its 'End DEI' portal as planned.<br> <br>"The New Hampshire Department of Education required school districts and public charter schools to submit their certifications by last week, and most have done so, according to a list published on the state’s website.</p><p>"Rather than issue a nationwide injunction, McCafferty said the protections in her order apply to the plaintiffs in this case, their members, and 'any entity that employs, contracts with, or works with' at least one member of the plaintiff organizations. </p><p>"The NEA alone reports having 3 million members employed in a wide variety of educational settings, so McCafferty’s order could apply to a broad swath of entities.</p><p>"A federal judge in Maryland presiding over a similar lawsuit from another major labor union, the American Federation of Teachers, issued a similar order on Thursday.</p><p>"Judge Stephanie A. Gallagher wrote that she takes no position on whether the disputed policies are 'prudent or foolish,' but she must scrutinize the way the policies were made and has concluded the government didn’t follow the law.</p><p>"McCafferty was appointed by former president Barack Obama.
