AP News · Judge rules against Trump administration's plan to end DEI effortsA federal judge has struck down two Trump administration actions aimed at eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion programs at the nation’s schools and universities. In her ruling on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher in Maryland stated that the Education Department violated the law when it threatened to cut federal funding from educational institutions that continued with DEI initiatives. The judge’s ruling followed a motion for summary judgment from the American Federation of Teachers and the American Sociological Association, which challenged the government’s actions in a February lawsuit.

"The White House’s recently-unveiled “AI Action Plan” wages war on so-called “woke AI”—including large language models (LLMs) that provide information inconsistent with the administration’s views on climate change, gender, and other issues. It also targets measures designed to mitigate the generation of racial and gender biased content and even hate speech. The reproduction of this bias is a pernicious problem that AI developers have struggled to solve for over a decade.

A new executive order called “Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government,” released alongside the AI Action Plan, seeks to strong-arm AI companies into modifying their models to conform with the Trump Administration’s ideological agenda.

The executive order requires AI companies that receive federal contracts to prove that their LLMs are free from purported “ideological biases” like “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” This heavy-handed censorship will not make models more accurate or “trustworthy,” as the Trump Administration claims, but is a blatant attempt to censor the development of LLMs and restrict them as a tool of expression and information access."

I think many would agree that today we find ourselves in a situation where many things we hold dear and thought were settled over the past 75 or even 100 years are now under attack and threatened to be dismantled. I think about me as a person with disabilities. Many employment opportunities available through #DEI programs are now gone. Disability rights in general are being weakened because we need to bow to the needs and wants of business. And then there’s #SCOTUS nuking #Roe and almost certainly setting their sites on #SameSexMarriage next. And why stop there? Why not get rid of #Miranda and #Gideon while they’re at it? Perhaps even #Loving to boot? And also decide that maybe the #Confederacy was victorious after all? I think I’m in need of lunch and possibly an attitude adjustment.

Speaking of teaching:

(1) ICE will be on our school campuses this Fall. Some Superintendents & principals are saying they won't cooperate, but what happens when the storm troopers force their way into our classrooms or nab students and parents from the curb before school? Are teachers trained & ready to resist?

(2) Trump has refused to allow $8 billion of Congressionally-approved money to come into California's school system. This will harm the most marginalized students in our schools-since that is where most federal funding goes.

(3) Curriculum attacks will continue, both with Trump's demand that we end all "DEI" programs & curriculum AND witht SCOTUS ruling allowing parents to opt their students out of specific lessons.

#Nonprofit Refuses $1.5M #Science #Grant Due To New Federal #DEI Rules
#TheCarpentries, a nonprofit that has trained over 100,000 researchers in coding and data skills, turned down a $1.5 million #NSF grant after being asked to strip diversity-related content from its programming. For an organization with just three months of cash on hand, it was a decision that threatens the organization’s very existence.
