The Department of Education, which will be reduced in a major way if President Donald Trump’s government efficiency campaign proceeds as he has planned, has in the interim opened a portal for people to report discrimination in K-12 schools.
In an announcement, the agency said it’s EndDEI.Ed.Gov website is for parents, students, teachers and community members “to submit reports of discrimination based on race or sex in publicly funded K-12 schools.”
“The secure portal allows parents to provide an email address, the name of the student’s school or school district, and details of the concerning practices,” the agency said. The information will then be evaluated for “investigation.”
“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, of Moms for Liberty. “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.”
A report at the Center Square said agency spokeswoman Julie Hartman explained the portal “is an invitation for parents to make their voices heard after being ignored.”
“One of the greatest priorities of President Trump’s agenda has been to end the illegal discriminatory ideologies and practices which have been poisoning our schoolchildren under the banner of ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,'” Hartman added.
Online, the department explains it is now “committed to ensuring all students have access to meaningful learning free of divisive ideologies and indoctrination.”
