“Title VI requires that all students — regardless of their ancestry or race — receive equal treatment under the law at federally funded colleges and universities,” said @AAGDhillon. “Higher ed policies and practices that tolerate antisemitism or favor certain racial groups over others, frustrate our color-blind justice system. The Civil Rights Division commends UNC for its cooperation in meeting its obligations under federal law without the need for litigation; we hope other institutions will take note and do the same.”

Sending monitors to election polls does not sow distrust in elections—quite the contrary!

It will take time and diligence to uproot the woke DEI programs entrenched in American academia.
Our @CivilRights team is proud to spearhead this effort, and we plan to put DEI hustlers out of business!

As @AGToddBlanche mentioned, we are proud of the lawyers in @CivilRights IER section for leading the way investigating PERM abuses as a form of employment discrimination. Glad to partner with Labor & EEOC on these important cases!
.@AGToddBlanche on fighting Visa fraud and protecting American workers:
"This announcement today should send and does send a strong signal to every single employer in the United States that the Trump Administration will not tolerate discrimination against American workers. For too long employers have engaged in tactics to protect, and some cases prefer, foreign workers for all types of job opportunities."

It is the fundamental, natural right of parents to govern their children’s education. The weaponization of the DOJ in the prior administration was unconstitutional, and this @TheJusticeDept revoked the memo and will continue to protect parental and student privacy rights for all!

The Biden DOJ attacked parental rights and labeled them “domestic terrorists.” At this @CivilRights Division @theJusticeDept, we proudly enforce federal laws, such as FERPA and PPRA, protecting children and parental rights nationwide!
DOJ Civil Rights Division retweeted
The Biden DOJ branding parents as “domestic terrorists” was just one of many abuses from that era. This @theJusticeDept has flipped the script — we are committed to giving parents the respect they are due under federal law, and protecting children’s rights!
