A Judge appointed by a trump in Baltimore on Thursday blocked the Department of Education by withdrawing billions of dollars in federal funding from public schools, which continues to practice the initiative of diversity inclusion-giving a significant blow for the anti-DEEI initiative of the Plant administration, although the High Courts should be appealed for review.
Memo of two education departments released earlier this year was issued, threatening to withdraw the funding of unrestrained billions of dollars from schools that failed to air their DEI programs, a major issue for the department in Trump’s second term. Those efforts hurriedly caused federal cases and requests for emergency relief earlier this year.
In a sharp, 76 pages Ruling On Thursday, US District Judge Stephanie Galagher said that efforts of the Trump administration to reduce funds from educational institutions kept the DEI initiative, participated as the Administrative Procedure Act, and threatened the free speech security under the first amendment.
“The administration is entitled to express its approach and promote the alignment policies with those attitudes,” said Galagher. “But this should be done by the Congress within procedural boundaries. And it cannot do so at the cost of constitutional rights.”
The Education Department has warned that public schools will have to remove DEI policies or lose federal funds.

While the ruling in itself is unlikely to change anything in the near period, as the anti-DEI push was already temporarily stopped by several federal courts earlier this year, Galagher’s decision officially ruled that the education department’s efforts were illegal, and ordered the administration to reverse the syllabus.
Trump officials are almost certain to kick the case to the HGIHER courts for review, the issue was tied to the courts for the future.
“The government not only reminded the teachers that discrimination is illegal: it introduced a maritime change as to how the Education Department controls the educational practices and classroom conduct, making millions of teachers appropriately fears that their legitimate, and even beneficial, speech may be the reason for punishing them or their schools,” he said.
The ruling followed a proposal for a summary decision from the American Federation of Teachers and the American Social Association, which challenged the government’s functions in a February case.
Memorandum of two Education Department has been sent earlier this year, which ordered schools and universities to end all “breed-based decision making” or to face punishment for the total loss of federal funding.
Friday’s decision is unlikely to change anything in the near period, as the education department’s efforts to abolish the DEI programs were already temporarily blocked by several federal judges, including Galagher at the beginning of this year.
But the Trump administration will definitely appeal to the high courts for reviewing the case, so that the dispute is unlikely to resolve at any time.
In February, the department ordered schools and universities to abolish all “breed-based decisions” or stop punishment and federal funds. In April, the department requested the state education agencies and boards to certify that they were not using “illegal DEI practices”. The violations raised the risk of losing federal funds and prosecuting under the Act of false claims, the Memo said.

A statement by the Education Department said on Thursday that it was disappointed in the judgment, but “judicial action has not stopped our ability to separate our ability to separate this guidance at an unprecedented level to implement the title VI security for students.”
In April, a federal judge at New Hampshire already stopped the Trump administration from cutting funding, which maintains diversity programs.
