Arizona Will Remove DEI From Public Schools

The Arizona Board of Education will remove language from K–12 curricula and policies that promote progressive racial and gender ideology and violate Civil Rights laws, state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne said this week.

The move complies with President Donald Trump’s executive order prohibiting DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) practices in education, which also includes preferential hiring based on race; affinity groups organized by race, gender, and religion; and mandatory diversity training.
