How much has the Department of Education spent on DEI programs?
According to the House of Representatives’ Committee on Education & Workforce, the Department of Education spent $1 billion on DEI programs in schools during Biden’s presidency.

Trump needs legislation to do so.

Needs to repeal “The Department of Education Organization Act is a United States federal law enacted in 1979, which created the Department of Education”.

Bill signed by Jimmy Carter.
