New York State officials told Trump administration that they would not comply with their requirements for the completion of diversity, capital and practices of inclusion in public schools, despite threats to the administration to abolish the federal funding for education.

Daniel Morton-Bentley, a lawyer and deputy commissioner of the State Education Department, said in the letter from the Friday Federal Department for State Officials that state officials did not believe that the Federal Agency has authorizations for such requests.

“We understand that the current administration seeks to censure anything that considers” diversity, capital and involvement, “he wrote.” But there are no federal or state laws that prohibit the principles of DEI. “

Morton-Bentley also wrote the civil servants of any authority, the Federal Education Department must require that the states agree with their interpretation of court decisions or repeals without a formal administrative process.

The U.S. Department of Education did not immediately answer the comment requests for comment.

The Trump Management on Thursday was ordered by K-12 schools throughout the entire pipes within 10 days to follow Federal Laws on Civil Rights and end every discriminatory practice of DEI, as a condition for receiving federal money. Federal funding consists of about 6% of total funding for New York K-12 schools.

“Federal financial assistance is a privilege, not right,” Craig Coach, which operates the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, told the statement when the request was made. He said that many schools aroused their legal obligations, “including the use of the DEI program to discriminate against a group of Americans to favor the other.”

The certification request was requested by state and school leaders to sign the “reminder of legal obligations” recognizing their federal money was conditional on respect for the Federal Law on Civil Rights. It also requires compliance with several pages of legal analysis written by the administration.

Demand is especially threatened to finance titles and sending billions of dollars a year in American schools and targets with low incomes.

Morton-Bentley wrote that the State Education Department has already been certified by the Federal Government on several occasions to be respected by the owner of the Law on Civil Rights from 1964. years, recently in January. He said that the Federal Department is based on its demands for the completion of the DEI program on the defective legal interpretation.

“Given the fact that you already have guarantees by NYSED to have and in accordance with the title you, further certification will not be upcoming,” he wrote.

He also said that the position of the Administration “abrupt shift” from the one took over the first trump card, in terms of comments 2020. year, which made the then Secretary, Betsy Devos, that they were diversity and inclusion of “high organizational performance. He wrote the administration that he did not provide an explanation of why he changed positions.

Certification demand critics said that in conflict with Trump’s promises that education will recover schools and states.

The threat of financial sanctions is similar to those who are exploited by the Management against the faculties in their efforts to break the protests against Israel to consider anti-Semitic.
