Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx criticized the Biden-Harris administration for spending over $1 billion on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programming. Her statement follows a report from Parents Defending Education (PDE).
Foxx expressed her disapproval by saying, “DEI is the woke addiction that the Biden-Harris administration simply cannot quit. 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."
She further added, "Fortunately for parents, students, and hardworking taxpayers, DEI, like the rest of this administration, is being bagged up and placed on the curb come January – it’s time to take out the trash.”
The report by PDE has sparked a debate on how taxpayer money should be spent in education.
