California will not comply with Trump order to certify its 1,000 school districts have ended diversity, equity and inclusion programs -- risking federal dollars.

Trump's Department of Education gave public schools, universities until April 24 to certify compliance with his federal mandate to strip all DEI policies or face federal funding cuts.

The Education Department’s demand that K-12 districts and state officials certify their schools are free of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs is being met with open defiance from blue states and open arms by red ones.
