Judge strikes down anti-DEI grant policy at Education Department

In February 2025, the department moved to slash around $600 million in grants it didn’t like under the Teacher Quality Partnership and Supporting Effective Educator Development grant programs.
quote:
District Judge Angel Kelley said the directive was “arbitrary and capricious” due to its failure to explain the switch in grants that previously encouraged diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.
“Rather than confining the Directive to actions that are traditionally understood to constitute discrimination, the record instead reflects that Defendants terminated grants with topics such as ‘acknowledging … racism’ and ‘anti-racism’—activities expressly undertaken to oppose discrimination,” Kelley wrote.
She also objected to the directive due to the impact it would have on teacher preparation.
In 2009, Kelley was appointed to the Brockton District Court by Governor Deval Patrick and served until 2013
President Joe Biden nominated Kelley to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts
The Senate confirmed her on September 14, 2021, by a 52–44 vote, and she received her commission on September 15, 2021

The Hill has reached out to the Education Department for comment.
The challenge to the move came from Democratic states, which previously had the directive halted by a federal judge, but the Supreme Court in April 2025 said the department could continue the cuts while the case proceeded in court.
In 2025, the Education Department said the slash in funds was directed towards programs focused on critical race theory, DEI, social justice, anti-racism, white privilege and white supremacy.

These judges have no idea what their opinion mean because they are not writing them. The activist org attorneys are writing all these opinions and the judges are just signing them.
