The measure, known as the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2022\/06\/23\/us\/gun-control-senate-supreme-court\/senate-gun-control-bill?smid=url-share\" title=\"\">broke a decades-long impasse<\/a> between congressional Republicans and Democrats on addressing gun violence by focusing largely on improving mental health support for students.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But just as some of the mental health programs are starting, the Education Department canceled the funding this week and informed grant recipients that they would have to reapply for the money because of potential violations of federal civil rights law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The department did not specify a civil rights law or provide the grant recipients with any evidence of violations, according to the notice reviewed by The New York Times.<\/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\">An Education Department spokeswoman confirmed that the grants had been discontinued because of a particular focus on increasing the diversity of psychologists, counselors and other mental health workers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cUnder the deeply flawed priorities of the Biden administration, grant recipients used the funding to implement race-based actions like recruiting quotas in ways that have nothing to do with mental health and could hurt the very students the grants are supposed to help,\u201d said Madi Biedermann, the department\u2019s deputy assistant secretary for communications. \u201cWe owe it to American families to ensure that taxpayer dollars are supporting evidence-based practices that are truly focused on improving students\u2019 mental health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Biedermann declined to provide applications that the department viewed as discriminatory, citing privacy laws. Instead, she offered examples of specific provisions pulled from lengthy applications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A provision in one application set a \u201cdiversity goal\u201d of hiring eight nonwhite counselors out of a total of 24. A line in an additional application included training for mental health professionals that included helping counselors \u201crecognize and challenge systemic injustices, antiracism and the pervasiveness of white supremacy to ethically support diverse communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Another highlighted the importance of handling \u201cracial stress and trauma\u201d of students. One applicant\u2019s training included understanding \u201cthe influences of racism and white privilege in education practice.\u201d<\/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 grant cancellations were <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/school-mental-health-grants-trump-biden-dei-00bec2d96371f023ac56fe3f32f3e92f\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">reported earlier by The Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Senator Christopher S. Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat who helped negotiate the legislation, said it was illegal for any president to halt funding approved by Congress and called on Republican supporters to stand up for the law. Three Republican senators, John Cornyn of Texas, Susan Collins of Maine and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cornyn.senate.gov\/news\/cornyn-tillis-collins-op-ed-the-bipartisan-safer-communities-act-is-cause-for-optimism\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">wrote a column<\/a> in support of the law three years ago, did not return calls seeking comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI\u2019m raw about this because I sat in the room for a long time negotiating a really delicate compromise on a really tough issue,\u201d Mr. Murphy said in an interview. \u201cWhat\u2019s the point of being in Congress and writing laws if the president can just ignore them? So, I\u2019m angry that my Republican partners are not out there raising objections to what the president is doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Christopher Rufo, the conservative activist who has spearheaded the assault on critical race theory and diversity, equity and inclusion programs, posted screenshots on social media this week of some grant applications, which he said was proof that the program was \u201cbeing used to advance left-wing racialism and discrimination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cNo more slush fund for activists under the guise of mental health,\u201d Mr. Rufo <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/realchrisrufo\/status\/1917314079406055660\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Mary Wall, a former deputy assistant secretary for education involved in setting up the process to solicit bids for the program under the Biden administration, said it was a \u201cgross overstep\u201d to equate mental health services with the radicalization of children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The application process favored programs that reflected the communities they served, she said. Programs aimed at training mental health professionals for predominantly minority communities, for example, received extra consideration if they could show how the training would be aimed at professionals with similar backgrounds. Ms. Wall said this was \u201ca common-sense practice\u201d with proven results.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cOne of the first questions after every single school shooting is whether the student had access to mental health support and services,\u201d Ms. Wall said. \u201cIt is no stretch to say that taking away this support introduces the risk of harm to school communities and students.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
