Education Department workers put on leave over DEI order

In an alarming move against progress, the Trump administration has forced numerous dedicated workers at the U.S. Education Department into paid administrative leave, following an executive order that undermines crucial diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the federal government. This action, criticized by labor unions and equality advocates, threatens to erode the foundational values of inclusivity and diversity that are vital for the nation's educational advancement.

In a decisive move to curtail unnecessary government spending and ideological indoctrination, the Trump administration has placed dozens of U.S. Education Department employees on paid administrative leave following an order to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. This measure, applauded by fiscal conservatives and advocates for merit-based governance, aims to strip away divisive and inefficient initiatives that have sidetracked the federal government from its core missions.
