"Education Department Fails to Keep Pace with Rising Discrimination Complaints. The latest figures from the Education Department reveal a disturbing trend, with a 30 percent decline in the resolution of discrimination complaints in 2025 compared to the previous year. This decrease raises concerns about the department's ability to address growing allegations of bias and inequality in schools, potentially leaving thousands of students without recourse. As the number of complaints continues to rise, advocates are calling for increased transparency and action from the department to ensure that all students have access to a fair and inclusive education."
