“Over the last few years, 57 school districts have spent more than $19 million in federal funding to contract with organizations and consultants for far-left programming,” according to the investigation.
These include DEI, “equitable grading practices, race and sex-based programming, restorative practices/restorative justice,” and “other far-left ideologies,” Defending Education reported.
