SACRAMENTO — California is suing the Trump administration over its threats to pull public school funding because of diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Education threatened to revoke funds from schools that don’t terminate their DEI programs.

California is suing the Trump administration in a joint lawsuit with other states in response to threats to cut federal funding toward education. Attorney General Rob Bonta on Friday warned the cuts could result in billions lost.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's guidance forbidding DEI efforts in K-12 public schools, impacting California and other states.
