Mr. Speaker, a new report from Parents Defending Education, PDE, revealed that the Biden-Harris administration spent over $1 billion of taxpayer money on so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion programming. DEI is the woke addiction that the Biden-Harris administration simply cannot quit. Instead of becoming a more perfect Union, DEI turns our schools, communities, and cities into cesspools of divisiveness and hate. We know DEI bureaucracies are also notorious drivers of campus anti-Semitism. PDE's new report is jaw-dropping, and it confirms that this administration was more concerned about contorting the minds of America's future leaders rather than educating them. This relentless push to tell students what to think instead of how to think must stop. Fortunately for parents, students, and hardworking taxpayers, President Trump sees DEI for what it is: a cancer that is divisive, excessive, and ineffective. ____________________
