DOGE Slashing More Than $100 Million in DEI Funding at Dept. of Education
“DEI was never about ‘equity’—it was about enforcing ideological conformity and institutionalizing discrimination.”
This is fantastic. Musk and DOGE are taking a wrecking ball to progressive propaganda in education.

DOGE slashes over $100M in DEI funding at Education Department: ‘Win for every student’
The Department of Education (DOE) is canceling more than $100 million in grants to fund diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training as part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) sweep of “wasteful” spending.
DOGE, the department led by Elon Musk to cut costs within the federal government, announced the termination of 89 DOE contracts totaling $881 million in a post on X Monday night.
Of the nearly $1 billion, DOGE identified $101 million that was being used for DEI training, including teaching educators to “help students understand/interrogate the complex histories involved in oppression, and help students recognize areas of privilege and power on an individual and collective basis.”
“Your tax dollars were spent on this,” Musk wrote of the DOE spending.
According to DOGE, the education department spent another $1.5 million on a contractor to “observe mailing and clerical operations” at a mail center, which was also terminated in the recent spending sweep.
“DEI was never about ‘equity’—it was about enforcing ideological conformity and institutionalizing discrimination. Shutting down these wasteful, divisive programs is a win for every student,” Nicki Neily, founder and president of Parents Defending Education, said in response to the spending cut.
“More states need to follow suit,” Neily said.
Erika Donalds, wife of Republican Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida, also wrote in response that “the kids can’t read.”

What?
With the Federal government, many state governments, and lots of companies suddenly shedding DEI personnel and DEI contracts, the DEI industrial complex must be in a complete free fall. It would be interesting to see an accounting of the sum total of funds more or less instantly removed from the DEI market as well as well as a narrative of the effects.
Does the DEI industry attempt to rebrand, or do they slide into something less controversial but related, or do they disband and disappear?
Schools are not shedding DEI so fast. I think they are actually doubling down on the ideology, nay, theology. They treat it like a religion and are willing to destroy the blasphemers who won’t accept it.
They will rebrand. Other articles I’ve seen report the use of terms like “Resiliency” but is the same steaming pile of useless manure. And eventually many will realize that posting their nefarious deeds on social media (like a lot of pre-school “teachers”) is a bad idea that may get them fired; these will keep going without advertising it.
Lets get video cameras in all classrooms so that principals, school boards and even parents can see what’s happening in classrooms. Of course, many principals and school boards are on-board with the trans and other DEI garbage; that’s why parents must be able to check it out as well.
