Citing concerns about DEI, the Department of Education has halted funding for programs that support students with combined hearing and vision loss in eight states. “How low can you go?” one advocate asked. “How can you do this to children?” By @jodiscohen.bsky.social @jsmithrichards.bsky.social

CHRISTIAN 'MERICA!!!!...... Evangelicals support and Defend all this Bull 💩.
In my kids' district, they have halted magnet funding, which helps lower income children. Pending a civil rights review, citing DEI.
Alabama’s Helen Keller Museum is likely to shut down and she will be erased. One good thing and person from the state is going to be erased. Many more to come.
They can always play pinball I guess
But they aren’t the mean ones.
This is straight out Nazi procedure Oppress those who are not perfect
WTF!
If they'll allow them to be MURDERED in school, what makes you think taking away their resources to LEARN anything would be beneath them?
So if you support deaf and blind children, you are guilty of DEI?! What the hell?! I guess MAGAs want only perfect people. Perfect means white, straight, non-handicapped males, does it?
The 'master race'. www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/art...
THEY ARE EUGENICISTS
The worst billionaires, the Christian nationalists and techno fascists are straight up enemies of the American people
Hashtag all people but yeah, absolutely.
This is the truth. One only has to look at the tripe being tweeted by Elon.
If you have a Dem Rep or Senator call & tell them that the bipartisanship that Jeffries/Schumer are selling is totally unacceptable
Besides the fact that the Education “Secretary” should not be allowed around children-she was named in a lawsuit filed against her company claiming she ignored the sexual assault & trafficking of minors, she could also learn something about “inclusion” from these kids. www.npr.org/2023/03/03/1...
The cruelty is always the point with that crowd.
Study up everyone, they’re about to restart Aktion T4 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aktion_T4
Sooooooo…is the ADA considered DEI in their book…? 🤷🏻♂️
They also gave notice today that funding for Year 4 of the Title VI National Resource Center and Foreign Language and Area Studies grants will not be dispersed because they do not align with this administration's views.
They can go very low and then ever lower and then lower still. It’s kind of the brand.
Also, very on-brand for a bunch of eugenicists.
Monsters
Disgusting. Search for keywords without context and just plain hate. This administration does not represent the United States.
I've been angry all day watching the martyrization of a racist misogynistic piece of crap But this broke me. I knew nonprofits for people with disabilities were having a very tough ride with all of the TrUNT cuts.This makes it so much worse. I'm literally now in tears. I officially hate America.
The Nazis & the Broligarchs HATE Children. Especially handicapped, female, non-rich, and non-white children. They think there should ONLY be rich white men. And they believe they can become trans-human and live forever, served by robots and AI They are fully demonic psychos.
The United States is so evil man this country is appalling
I'd note, from UK, like everywhere, it's only those at the top and those they sanction who are culpable. Those who are aghast at such cruelty, ought not to be defined by those who care nothing for human beings. We have a duty to speak up though, and protest. #Trump au.news.yahoo.com/disabled-peo...
If helping students with vision or hearing loss is "illegal" then we truly are lost.
Tragically, this affects students who have both disabilities.
True. I should have said "and/or"
I think it really does apply to the relatively small population that has both disabilities?? I may be wrong, but that’s how I read it… Sickening!
what the fuck is wrong with these fucking people and of course they pretend to be christian
Cruelty is their brand.
We have sunk lower than I ever thought possible.
👍👍
Disgusting. You have to be reptilian to do something like that.
Most cruel administration in history.
Looks like the World Wrestling lady is in charge.
Fucking wut
Can you say Evangelical..
In my best Grug voice, “humane bad, fucking people over good”
📌 #whotheyreallyare
Pedophile-in-chief and his cult are predators. They prey on the disabled, sick, starving and anyone else they deem undesirable. They like Luminal.
Ok so having a hearing or vision impairment isn’t a medical condition which requires additional educational support? What the hell???
DEI is about equity for people who need support. It’s not just a way to make racism legal; it’s about denying help to people with disabilities.
FWIW theconversation.com/disabled-peo...
OMG-“transition” in special education denotes a specific requirement for all students during their time in secondary school to have IEP (individualized) goals that prepare them for educational opportunities, employment, and or independent (to extent possible) living after high school. I just can’t.
😭😭🤬
AI doing the work instead of the ppl they fired is working out really well 🙄 “Transition — transitioning from childhood to adulthood. Privilege came up because a parent wrote a glowing review of staff that said what a privilege it was to work with them.”
This is fucking insane.
Because children needing hearing and sight advantages are part of the inclusion. WTF is wrong with these morons. Shall we go back to blind and deaf schools? Shall we warehouse children?
Jesus H. Christ - Donald Trump and LInda McMahon are Mr. and Mrs. Scrooge.
So when are they going to tear down the ramps in Texas’ capitol?
Doesn’t the governor use a wheelchair? Maybe ramps are safe for now.
lol! I think you may have missed my sarcasm…😊
“How low can you go?” is a very dangerous suggestion for this administration
If deaf and blind children expect special help in this world they should have thought about that in the womb.
Despicable creatures running our country
Because nothing says DEI like vision and hearing loss. This administration is the most heartless and incompetent ever imagined. And when you see it reached its lowest point, think again. There is no bottom.
All blue states, I presume.
Cruelty is the point
Trump is against helping anyone but himself, period. Even if he helps someone else, it's only done because it's necessary for him to gain something by doing so. Once you come to grips with that, everything he does makes sense through that lens.
I am repeating myself but. Yet another example of eugenics. We want the fittest, the strongest..the rest can suffer or do our bidding...it's disgusting
because you elected a despot - a criminal - expect nothing less from him and expect more of the same to come
I bet they go lower.
Helen Keller would like a word.
Did you count the ratio of blue to grey states? Oops ....I mean't blue to red states..
You know you don’t have to legitimize it by saying “concerns about DEI” you can just call it eugenics
“apparently the administration is going through past grants & two words were flagged: One was transition and one was privilege. Transition — transitioning from childhood to adulthood. Privilege - because a parent wrote a glowing review of staff that said what a privilege it was to work with them.”
Well, that's because children don't matter to the trump admin. After all, little innocent children are murdered every day in USA. Forgotten the next day until the next shooting. That's how low they can go.
Nazi eugenicists.
Evil eugenicists.
I want to scream, "How can regular conservative voters support this??" But they never see it. Or RW outlets tell them "investigations allude" the $ was being spent on leftist ideology.
"Regular conservatives" see it. They either support it or tolerate it because they get tax cuts.
So true, as a special education teacher, I know a lot of my parents are MAGAs. I can’t understand why, but they watch nothing but Fox News so they think all these cuts are simply going to hurt “those people” and not their own loved ones.
Democrats are letting the right win by making DEI a bad word. Jesus. Get out there and at least try and make it right.
From what I see, they do at every opportunity. It's trivial to confront this shit in person by pointing out what dei stands for and probing what they don't like about it. They back off immediately and rant about nothing, so you calmly bring them back to the topic and rub their face in it.
You still think they disagree on the big questions?
This is either just a bot or a provocateur. Ridiculous.
Hilarious that you think the democrats aren't cheering for it happening because it means another thing to fundraise off of.
Its their eugenics plan, not DEI
I cannot begin to explain the depths of hell I wish for these nazis in power
Lucifer and Mazekeen would enjoy torturing them
Sadly, their cruelty is the point.
This regime cares about indoctrination, not children. 😒
Great. So they’ll be begging on street corners to get enough food to eat?
ADA not DEI you fricking morons!!! I hope Helen Keller haunts them
Well, the obvious answer is that children can't fight back. The sad answer is that adults won't.
Preposterous! They have less than no shame. Stop using DEI as an excuse to steal our money!
They want to strip funding to anything that mentions Diversity, Inclusion or Equality/Equity. Um special education is all about inclusion and equality so they’re lying to parents about special education funding.
That bitch should have stuck with rasslin’, and give her a super duper su-plex on her kanoggin.
If you know the story about Trump’s nephew, this wouldn’t surprise you.
This is disgusting. There is no bottom.
This baseless idiocy now hurting kids with hearing and vision loss. Are we great again yet?
📍
Lowest part of all this? Them pretending like this wasn’t part of the plan from the beginning. We all read your new shitty Bible.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
This is precisely what Diversity, Equity and Inclusion entails. How can we be surprised when children are denied the help they need? This is what DEI is. That is why DEI must be defended and why liberals have to be proud of DEI.
But they just want to change one letter in the word: defend > defund. Why is that a problem? /s
Friends at ProPublica - please look into the letter McMahon sent to Minority Serving Institutions grantees today. And, as always, thank you for your work. This is the press release. www.ed.gov/about/news/p...
Isn’t there an ADA claim that can be made here?
I’m surprised That they haven’t already repealed the law. It is probably considered “woke” or something.
Well, it is most definitely DEI in the best sense of the word.
If they could get away with right now, the regime would round 'em up and put them in death camps.
👍😭🤬🤬
On brand www.disabilityscoop.com/2025/06/17/w...
I'd bet that's a case @marcelias.bsky.social would love to be on
THIS!!
Oh I guarantee they can keep going much lower
Some of those parents voted for Trump. Hope your kid plays a mean pinball. Because you made sure he/she will have nothing else.
Considering that they actually want to euthanize them along with all other disabled people— they can go lower and will if we don’t put a stop to this
The Lady wrestler "Heel" strikes again.
Is truly embarrassing the President and senators and the court system, Supreme Court have No spine and will not stand up for the American people. Follow the money
Truly disgusting.
Republicans, by and large, are just mean. To pick in handicapped kids? These turds must have been those kids who pulled the wings off of flies, just for the fun of it. Fucking assholes. 🖕😑🖕
