The Department of Education has introduced [1] a new public portal designed to combat Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in publicly funded K-12 schools.
The move follows the administration’s recent efforts to dismantle DEI programs across federally funded institutions.
In a press release, the department announced the launch of EndDEI.Ed.Gov, a platform where parents, students, teachers, and community members can report instances of race- or sex-based discrimination occurring in schools.
“The secure portal allows parents to provide an email address, the name of the student’s school or school district, and details of the concerning practices,” the statement explained.
“The Department of Education will use submissions as a guide to identify potential areas for investigation.”
The initiative has been met with strong support from parental rights organizations, including Moms for Liberty.
Tiffany Justice, co-founder of the group, praised the portal as a critical tool in holding schools accountable for pushing political agendas instead of focusing on education.
“For years, parents have been begging schools to focus on teaching their kids practical skills like reading, writing, and math, instead of pushing critical theory, rogue sex education, and divisive ideologies—but their concerns have been brushed off, mocked, or shut down entirely,” Justice said.
“Parents, now is the time that you share the receipts of the betrayal that has happened in our public schools.”
Justice added that the webpage underscores President Trump’s commitment to putting power back in the hands of parents when it comes to their children’s education.

It’s hard to take Reid seriously with that hair.

The portal launch follows the Department of Education’s ultimatum last month, which directed all federally funded educational institutions to eliminate DEI programs within 14 days or risk losing federal funding.
The order cited Supreme Court precedent, stating that schools cannot legally treat students differently based on race for broad goals like diversity, social justice, or equity.
“The law is clear: treating students differently on the basis of race to achieve nebulous goals such as diversity, racial balancing, social justice, or equity is illegal under controlling Supreme Court precedent,” the department stated.
“All students are entitled to a school environment free from discrimination. The Department is committed to ensuring those principles are a reality.”
Meanwhile, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, is awaiting Senate confirmation.
