A federal judge has overturned a state directive that tied teacher training grants to compliance with anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, ruling it unconstitutional. The decision reverses a policy that had previously led to the suspension of funding for professional development programs in public schools. Legal challenges had argued the restrictions violated free speech protections for educators. Schools affected by the grant cuts may now seek reinstatement of the funding.
