After federal judges ruled against the Trump administration’s orders to cut funding from schools with diversity, equity and inclusion policies, Arizona Superintendent of Education Tom Horne says he will wait for further steps from the federal government.
Horne also says the highest court in the land might step in.
“For further steps, we will seek further guidance from the federal government, but it’s my educated opinion as a former attorney general that the decisions by these district courts will be overturned by the United States Supreme Court," he said.
Schools had until last Thursday to comply with the anti-DEI orders by the Trump administration.
Horne says he will publish the schools that chose not to adhere to the orders on Monday.
