The move is the latest in a series of Education Department directives aimed at carrying out President Trump\u2019s political agenda in the nation\u2019s schools.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At her confirmation hearing in February, Education Secretary Linda McMahon said schools should be allowed to celebrate the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. But she was more circumspect when asked whether classes that focused on Black history ran afoul of Mr. Trump\u2019s agenda and should be banned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI\u2019m not quite certain,\u201d Ms. McMahon said, \u201cand I\u2019d like to look into it further.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">More recently, the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ed.gov\/media\/document\/frequently-asked-questions-about-racial-preferences-and-stereotypes-under-title-vi-of-civil-rights-act-109530.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Education Department said<\/a> that an \u201cassessment of school policies and programs depends on the facts and circumstances of each case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Programs aimed at recognizing historical events and contributions and promoting awareness would not violate the law \u201cso long as they do not engage in racial exclusion or discrimination,\u201d the department wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHowever, schools must consider whether any school programming discourages members of all races from attending, either by excluding or discouraging students of a particular race or races, or by creating hostile environments based on race for students who do participate,\u201d the Education Department said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It also noted that the Justice Department could sue for breach of contract if it found that federal funds were spent while violating civil rights laws.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The administration\u2019s view of those laws, including anti-discrimination requirements, was first raised as a potential condition for public school funding in a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ed.gov\/media\/109506\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">letter from the department<\/a> on Feb. 14, two weeks before Ms. McMahon <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/03\/us\/politics\/linda-mcmahon-education-secretary.html\" title=\"\">was confirmed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The letter indicated that the administration plans to enforce <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/06\/29\/us\/politics\/supreme-court-admissions-affirmative-action-harvard-unc.html\" title=\"\">a Supreme Court decision in 2023<\/a> that declared race-based affirmative action programs were unlawful. That ruling did not address related issues in K-12 schools, but the department made clear in the letter that the administration was interpreting the Supreme Court\u2019s decision \u201cmore broadly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAt its core, the test is simple,\u201d wrote Craig Trainor, the acting assistant secretary for civil rights at the Education Department. \u201cIf an educational institution treats a person of one race differently than it treats another person because of that person\u2019s race, the educational institution violates the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His letter drew on <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/democracyforward.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Amended-Complaint-Eugene-4J.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a lawsuit<\/a> from the American Federation of Teachers, the American Sociological Association and Democracy Forward, a liberal legal group, that has asked a federal judge to pre-emptively block the administration from withholding funding from schools. The plaintiffs argued that the threats in the letter would violate the academic freedom protected by the First Amendment and was so vague that it would breach the Fifth Amendment\u2019s right to due process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cNo one\u2019s life is being made better by these unlawful and unprecedented threats against America\u2019s public education system, its educators and students,\u201d said Skye Perryman, president and chief executive officer of Democracy Forward, said on Thursday of the lawsuit. \u201cThreatening teachers and sowing chaos in schools throughout America is part of Trump\u2019s war on education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Government-downsizing efforts led by Elon Musk, the world\u2019s richest man and a top adviser to Mr. Trump, has said that it canceled 70 grants in the Education Department for D.E.I. training programs worth $373 million.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In its first 11 weeks, the Trump administration has begun civil rights investigations into Denver Public Schools over an all-gender restroom in one high school, and into the state public education systems in California and Maine over policies aimed at prioritizing the safety of transgender students over requirements from unwanted disclosures to their parents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Simultaneously, Mr. Trump has insisted that the decisions about educating the nation\u2019s schoolchildren are <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/01\/us\/politics\/trumps-education-back-to-the-states.html\" title=\"\">best left to the states<\/a>. Mr. Trump has signed an executive order to begin dismantling the Education Department, which has drawn multiple lawsuits citing federal law that only Congress can shutter the agency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The federal government accounts for about <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ed.gov\/about\/ed-overview\/federal-role-in-education\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">8 percent of local school funding<\/a>, but the amounts vary widely. In Mississippi, for example, about 23 percent of school funding comes from federal sources, while just 7 percent of school funding in New York comes from Washington, according to the Pew Research Center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Project 2025, the right-wing blueprint for overhauling the federal government, called for transferring Title I programs to the Department of Health and Human Services and phasing out the federal funding stream over a 10-year period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cFederal financial assistance is a privilege, not a right,\u201d Mr. Trainor, said in a statement. \u201cWhen state education commissioners accept federal funds, they agree to abide by federal anti-discrimination requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside
