New! Help Us Stop DEI in San Diego County! Report Here»

14% of your School Districts budget comes from Federal Funding. You have the opportunity to force the change that two-thirds of parents have been demanding by making sure we SHINE THE LIGHT on these rogue schools and leverage the threat of losing federal funding if they fail to comply with lawful Presidential executive orders.

The US Department of Education has created a new portal to report schools that have not removed DEI in all its forms on school campuses in compliance to President Trump’s executive order. Report Here»

The U.S. Department of Education is committed to ensuring all students have access to meaningful learning free of divisive ideologies and indoctrination. 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.

How to Identify DEI Programs at a Public School

  1. Official Policies or Mission Statements: Check the school district’s website, handbooks, or strategic plans for terms like “diversity,” “equity,” “inclusion,” “belonging,” or “cultural responsiveness.” A DEI commitment might appear in a vision statement (e.g., “ensuring equitable opportunities for all”) or a dedicated DEI policy page.

  2. Staff Roles: Look for positions like “Diversity Officer,” “Equity Coordinator,” or “Inclusion Specialist.” These roles often oversee DEI implementation, training, or compliance.

  3. Training and Professional Development: Schools may offer mandatory workshops on topics like “unconscious bias,” “anti-racism,” or “culturally responsive teaching.” Notices of such sessions in staff emails or calendars are a clue.

  4. Curriculum and Materials: DEI can surface in lesson plans emphasizing multicultural perspectives, social justice themes, or revised history/social studies content to highlight marginalized groups. Textbooks or reading lists prioritizing diverse authors or experiences also signal this focus.

  5. Student Programs and Groups: Affinity groups (e.g., Black Student Union, LGBTQ+ Alliance) or extracurriculars tied to identity often reflect DEI priorities. Look for events like “Diversity Day” or “Equity Forums” on school calendars.

  6. Discipline and Access Policies: Practices like restorative justice (replacing suspensions with dialogue) or targeted support for underrepresented students (e.g., tutoring for low-income kids) suggest equity efforts.

  7. Data Tracking: Schools may publish reports on achievement gaps by race, gender, or socioeconomic status, indicating a focus on equitable outcomes—a hallmark of DEI.

  8. Community Engagement: Outreach to parents from underserved groups or translated materials in multiple languages can point to inclusion efforts.

Names of Programs or Practices Indicating DEI Policy

DEI programs often carry branded names or use specific terminology. Here are examples commonly seen in public schools, drawn from educational trends and state-level initiatives:

  • Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT): Training or pedagogy ensuring lessons reflect students’ cultural backgrounds (e.g., New Mexico’s handbook on this).

  • Equity Audits: Assessments to identify disparities in discipline, grades, or access to advanced courses.

  • Student Equity Councils: Student-led groups advising on inclusion policies.

  • Restorative Justice Programs: Discipline models emphasizing community repair over punishment, often tied to reducing racial disparities.

  • Affinity Groups/Employee Resource Groups (ERGs): Clubs like “Latino Student Alliance” or teacher groups for shared identities.

  • Anti-Bias Education: Curriculum or training to combat stereotypes (e.g., Washington State’s CCDEI standards).

  • Inclusive Excellence: A framework for embedding DEI in school culture, often seen in strategic plans.

  • Project READY: A program for racial equity in discipline and academics, used in some districts.

  • Safe Space Initiatives: Designations or training (e.g., GLSEN’s Safe Space Kit) for supporting LGBTQ+ students.

  • Multicultural Education Programs: Courses or events celebrating diverse histories (e.g., Illinois’s inclusion of underrepresented groups in social science standards).

DEI Hiding in Plain Sight

Since DEI has faced backlash—evidenced by Trump’s January 20, 2025, executive order banning federal DEI programs and state-level rollbacks—some schools rebrand efforts to avoid scrutiny. Watch for coded language like “belonging,” “community culture,” “access,” “allyship,” or “sensitivity,” which X posts suggest are DEI proxies post-rebranding.

Practical Steps

To confirm DEI presence, review school board minutes (often online) for budget allocations to these programs, scan staff directories for DEI-related titles, or attend open meetings where policies are discussed. Cross-check with local news or parent forums for mentions of controversial DEI initiatives—especially amid 2025’s heightened political climate, like the U.S. Department of Education’s “End DEI” portal launched February 27, encouraging public reports.
