The Department of Education has released a new website allowing users like parents to submit discrimination complaints.
The website, EndDEI.Ed.Gov, was launched hours before the White House set a deadline to end discrimination practices in public education or risk potential federal funding interruptions.
As recently reported in The Dallas Express, pushback against DEI continues to grow in both the private and public sectors, especially since the new administration took office in Washington. In early February, Google became one of the latest major American companies to axe its DEI recruitment program. The tech giant highlighted the Trump administration’s move to dismantle DEI initiatives and pivot back to meritocracy.
A February 27 release from the Department of Education states that the new portal will allow parents, students, teachers, and others to submit details of race or sex-based discrimination in publicly funded schools for grades K-12. The department says it will use the submissions to drive potential investigations.
“For years, parents have been begging schools to focus on teaching their kids practical skills like reading, writing, and math, instead of pushing critical theory, rogue sex education and divisive ideologies—but their concerns have been brushed off, mocked, or shut down entirely,” said Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Moms for Liberty and one of the leading figures behind the sites creation.
“Parents, now is the time that you share the receipts of the betrayal that has happened in our public schools. This webpage demonstrates that President Trump’s Department of Education is putting power back in the hands of parents,” she said in the Education Department release.
Justice said the website had been years in the making and credited President Trump’s Department of Education with restoring parents’ control over their children’s schooling.
“DEI needs to go. DEI has re-segregated our schools in many ways, and our children are forced to see race in ways that they never did,” said Justice, per ABC News.
