A study conducted by parental rights organization Parents Defending Education (PDE) found that President Joe Biden’s Department of Education spent at least $1 billion on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives since 2021. Researchers found that $490 million was spent on DEI hiring efforts, $343 million on DEI programming and $170 million on DEI-related mental health resources.
Key takeaways from the study include the fact that multiple Education Department grants “feature programming that advances race-based teacher recruiting, hiring, and training, including the use of race-based affinity groups.”

Despite this, the Teacher’s union could not keep Kamal afloat in the election

Probably even more. Paying racist idiots to twist the hiring and promotion policies against white folks.

I believe it. At my alma mater there is both a Vice President and a Vice Provost for Diversity. And the yearly form used to evaluate everyone from the president to toilet scrubber asks: In the past year what have you done to foster diversity? At many colleges and universities The Big D is more important that what the campus looks like from google Earth, how ranked is the football team, etc. Because it is directly related to how much fed money you can get. I hope President Trump will pull the plug on this nonsense.

It is any wonder that our children have increasingly failed in learning the basics? It was not considered important.

All the president and his executive branch really need - - are Defense, Treasury, State, and Justice.
There should be a fire sale on all the rest of the crap. Everything Must Go!!!

Looks like a good place to start saving money is with the elimination of the Dept. of Education. Obviously the department actually has no education in mind. I remember when a member of a local education department told me that the organization was not about the education of children. It's about spreading the money around. I worked in the education field for 31 years and he spoke the truth. We are doing our children no favors by trapping them in the public school system. I know a lot of educators who belong to the union for only one reason. For the support of an attorney if necessary. That's it. Everything else they do is not appreciated.

I would be surprised if the costs were that low. It's not over yet since many of those hired to push DEI are still employed and still doing mental health damage. It's not a curriculum they are teaching, it's a false religion. Kids may get through school with "F" grades but they will love George Floyd and that's what counts.

This is why Democrats should never be in charge of anything.

There was a time when the Democrat Party was "the loyal opposition". Not now...corrupt, power mad and Marxist. They have done massive damage to this country especially in the last four years and should never be allowed to be in charge of anything except cleaning the toilets and I am not so sure about even allowing them to do that.

Most likely went to high salaries, travel junkets, and lavish dinner meetings.
Everyone was feeding at this trough.

You spend a billion dollars, the libs could have elected Kamala for less money (but
not much less, given the way Kamala likes to spend money)

With DEI hires: Don't Expect Intelligence, because they Didn't Earn It. A billion here, a billion there; pretty soon you're talking a wasted or stolen fortune.

A billion dollars to promote racism and racial division. If racism stopped, the democrats would be out of business.

DEI = Divisive Education Initiatives. Perpetration of divisions and mistrust is all that DEI accomplishes.

It’s the pop up training companies who latch onto a cause, slap together a class or seminar, and then blackmail companies into paying $10-20k per day to indoctrinate their employees.

If these people are soooo educated...then why did they get caught with their fingers in the cookie jar....sending education back to the states is the answer and eliminating the teachers union....that's the starting point...Washington DC is not the best place to center governmental activity...the constitution names three places in DC to govern...the White House and the House...and the Senate... that's it...no teacher's union and planned parenthood....

The GOP lead House can't create a GOP lead budget, so this is the junk we end up with.

In case you thought the Department of Education was completely useless, here we discover that they are worse than useless, actively promoting divisive and harmful philosophies. Waiting for DOGE to go after this low hanging fruit.
