Executive Order #14173, signed by President Trump on January 21, 2025, ends illegal discrimination and restores merit-based opportunity.
This order applies not only to the federal sector but to public schools as well since they receive federal funds. Any public school in the U.S. that has DEI policies, programs, practices, resource materials, or the like is not only in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 but also risks losing federal funding if they do not cease these practices or teachings. Those districts that do not comply with President Trump's Executive Order are also at risk of being sued.
If you believe your school district is engaging in DEI in any way, shape, or form, you can submit a complaint to the U.S. Department of Education to launch an investigation.
Examples of DEI include, but are not limited to; hiring practices based on identity, books or other resource materials that contain messages that treat one group of people differently than another, a Comprehensive Equity Plan (many schools have this), allowing biological males in private female spaces and sports (this also violates Title 9 and can result in losing federal funding), teaching gender ideology (violates EO 14168), teachers adorning their classroom/library with LGBT memorabilia, morning announcements advocating students and staff to join/support the LGBT movement, applying different rules/punishments to students/teachers based on race/sex, having an Affirmative Action Officer in your school district, etc.
Affirmative Action is tied into DEI because it puts identity ahead of merit. A recent Supreme Court ruling, Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, 600 U.S. 181 (2023), made it clear that Affirmative Action for college admissions are illegal as it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and the same would apply to public schools that engage in Affirmative Action, which can also result in a loss of federal funding and being sued.
The time to be engaged and file complaints is now! The first two years of the current administration term is when we can get the most done in a short period of time since we have no idea what the outcome of the upcoming midterms will be. Below is the link to file your complaint, and you can file as many as you need to. Be sure to provide details, links and upload a document containing evidence to back up your claims. Share this with others as well. The more people who file, the more likely it'll be a priority for this administration and their Department of Education to investigate and enforce anti-discrimination violations.

Editor's note: The Center for Garden State Families has received numerous complaints and incidences of New Jersey government schools, a.k.a. public schools, continuing to discriminate against teachers, students, and parents using Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). DEI is a Marxist invention and extremely discriminatory to those who hold any other worldview. DEI, by its operation, gives preferential treatment to marginalized groups such as the self-identified LGBTQIA – XYZ plus-plus-plus, which have no biologic scientific justification. There is copious psychological and sociological evidence that the alphabet labels are developmental gender identity disorders.
