In a up-to-date announcement it states that a review of the programs of the educational department showed that they violate the purpose of the Civil Rights Act, to prioritize with the policy of the department, merit and fairness, and were equipped with inappropriate exploit of federal money.
The cuts were published in a social media post by conservative strategist Christopher Rufo, who claimed that the money was used to advance the “left racistism and discrimination”. He published excerpts from several subsidies to set goals in order to set a certain number of non -white consultants or to pursue other guidelines for diversity, justice and inclusion.
“No slush fund for activists under the guise of mental health,” wrote Rufo.
