DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado will not remove any diversity, equity and inclusion practices in the state’s K-12 school districts despite pressure from the Trump administration to eliminate them while following civil rights law.
On April 3, the U.S. Department of Education issued a letter to state education departments, including Colorado’s, threatening to remove federal funding from public schools that do not stop diversity, equity and inclusion practices. The letter allowed 10 days for the states to sign and return the notice, but some states have already said they will not comply.
