"#Washington’s top #education leader says he won’t sign the U.S. Department of Education’s recent letter ordering K-12 #schools to certify they’re in compliance with federal civil rights laws and are halting any “illegal” #diversity, #equity, and #inclusion programs.

The letter, sent to school leaders across the nation late last week, threatens to withhold federal funding from schools for “any violation” of civil rights law — including #DEI programs that “advantage one race over another.” It also requires schools to sign the certification and return it to the department within 10 days."

OPB · Washington schools chief says no to Trump, yes to DEIBy Sami West

Pourquoi reprendre le montage de la fresque « Howard Zinn, une histoire populaire américaine » ?

Parce qu’en 2025, l’histoire s’efface. Littéralement.

La photo de l’Enola Gay supprimée à cause du mot “Gay”.
Tuskegee Airmen, Navajo Code Talkers,
Les femmes pilotes du WASP effacées.
Black Panthers : rayés des archives.

What happens when #DEI becomes DOA in the #aerospace industry?
Last month a nonprofit that recognizes exceptional undergraduate #women and gender #minorities with #space and# aviation internships, the #BrookeOwensFellowship, announced its latest class of "#Brookies."
They may be the last class of Brookies to receive aerospace internships. The reason for this is an executive order signed by President Trump on Jan 20 to end diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, or DEI.
