The Department of Justice (DOJ) has allocated over $100 million in grants to school districts across the country for programs focused on restorative justice, social emotional learning, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). A new report by Parents Defending Education (PDE) details the spending and raises concerns about the potential impact of these programs on education.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) spent over $100 million over the last four years on education programs related to restorative justice, social emotional learning and diversity, equity and inclusion ( DEI ), according to a new report. The Parents Defending Education (PDE), a right-leaning organization aiming to 'reclaim our schools from activists imposing harmful agendas,' released its latest findings Thursday.
The report found the DOJ awarded and distributed $100,113,942 in grants to over 900 school districts across 36 states between 2021 and 2024. According to the report, which was first reported by the Daily Wire, the DOJ spent $45,207,178 on 'project proposals that broadly mention restorative practices or social emotional learning,' $32,084,529 spent on 'proposals that discuss diversity, equity, or inclusion or explicitly explain how the project is intended to improve outcomes for a specific demographic group' and $19,881,347 spent on certification for consultants that 'often promote divisive concepts such as critical race theory, critical gender theory and queer theory.' Another $10,296,100 was spent on proposals on hiring new administrators, including a 'restorative justice facilitator.' Some highlights included nearly $2 million being given to the Minnesota Department of Education to 'create safe learning environments where practices of anti-racism and anti-oppression are embedded' and nearly $1 million given to New Jersey’s Ocean County to reduce violence while equating 'teasing' to 'oppression and all forms of violence.' The report also highlighted the DOJ’s STOP School Violence Program, which the group warned aimed to 'improve school climate' by switching from disciplinary actions to 'social emotional learning
