The Department of Education revealed in a recent report that it will consider grant applications, in part, based on how "equity" is incorporated into grant proposals.
The "2022 Agency Equity Plan related to Executive Order 13985," published Thursday, is part of one of President Joe Biden's first executive orders, the "Executive Order On Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government."
The "executive summary" of Thursday's 19-page report reads, "As we enter a new era of possibility for our nation, education must be at the forefront of our recovery, rebuilding and resiliency efforts. To meet this potential, our nation’s education system must reckon with and address the long-standing disparities that students from underserved communities face in achieving equal education opportunity."
The report said the DOE has an "opportunity and a responsibility" to support efforts to deliver on "America's promise of education."
"[DOE's] stated mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access," the report read. "To fulfill this mission, the agency must embed equity throughout its operations and mission to meet the needs of every learner. Under the Secretary’s leadership, the Department has established strategic priorities based on feedback obtained directly from those whom we serve: children and students of all ages, educators in all roles, parents and families, and their communities."

OOPS!
But I wouldn’t be surprised if the other DOE isn’t doing the same thing.
America needs to disband Carter’s Department of Education once and for all.
There is nothing in our Constitution that gives the Federal government the power to run education.
Heck, I get confused between BLM and BLM.
I suppose there is a limited number of TLAs....

More racist government.
Fully agree!
Dump the DoEd. and the EPA. Combine the BLM and DoEnergy, after severely restricting their regulatory authority.
