Why US teachers say Trump’s anti-DEI order is silencing them in the classroom

After President Trump’s return to office, a new executive order targeting DEI in US schools is prompting fear and self-censorship among educators. Teachers report being monitored and silenced through the federal End DEI portal, which allows parents and students to report classroom content. While groups like Moms for Liberty support the changes, many educators warn it threatens free speech and inclusive teaching. NPR reports teachers are unsure of what’s now considered controversial in the classroom.
