The Department of Education launched a portal on Thursday to allow for the reporting of sex and race-based discrimination in K-12 schools.
The new “End DEI” portal includes the opportunity to provide contact information and incident details directly to the Trump administration.
“The U.S. Department of Education is committed to ensuring all students have access to meaningful learning free of divisive ideologies and indoctrination,” the portal notes.
“This submission form is an outlet for students, parents, teachers, and the broader community to report illegal discriminatory practices at institutions of learning. The Department of Education will utilize community submissions to identify potential areas for investigation,” it continues.
Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, celebrated the new initiative in a press release from the Department of Education on Thursday.
“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,” Justice stated.
“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,” she added.
The new portal also comes as U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi stopped federal lawsuits from the Biden administration against police and fire departments over diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) hiring policies in the ongoing crackdown against discriminatory practices.
The Justice Department’s Office of Civil Rights sued local first responders for hiring based on merit only instead of implementing the Biden administration’s requirements.
“Despite no evidence of intentional discrimination – only statistical disparities – the prior administration branded the aptitude tests at issue in these cases as discriminatory in an effort to advance a DEI agenda,” the Justice Department wrote in a press release.
“And it sought to coerce cities into conducting DEI-based hiring in response and spending millions of dollars in taxpayer funds for payouts to previous applicants who had scored lower on the tests, regardless of qualifications,” it continued.
