State Superintendent Ryan Walters says starting April 25, he will begin withholding education funds from school districts that have Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs – also known as DEI.

The Title VI assurance was originally mandated by the U.S. Department of Education.

In a statement, Walters says, “Under the leadership of President Donald Trump and Secretary McMahon, we've set a national standard that protects our children from discriminatory practices under the guise of DEI."
