Supreme’s allow Trump officials to stop teacher training grants over DEI

A divided Supreme Court on Friday cleared the way for the Trump administration to at least temporarily freeze up to $65 million in educational grants designed to address teacher shortages, which the government says fund programs that promote diversity, equity and inclusion.

The initiatives provide leadership development, teacher residency programs, training and other services. A coalition of Democratic-led states that challenged the funding freeze said it would trigger teacher layoffs and other harm to schools, weakening the teacher pipelines Congress intended to enhance when it created the programs.
