Biden DOJ Allocated Over $100 Million for DEI and SEL Programs in K-12 Education, Affecting 3 Million Students Across 36 States

A recent investigation by Defending Education has revealed that the Biden Department of Justice allocated over $100 million in grant funding from 2021 to the present towards initiatives promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), Social Emotional Learning (SEL), and Restorative Justice in K-12 classrooms. The report indicates that a total of 102 grants were awarded across 36 states, impacting more than 3 million students. Critics argue that this funding could have been better utilized for enhancing school safety measures, such as hiring resource officers, rather than promoting what they describe as 'woke ideology.'
