Federal Judge Refuses to Block Alabama Law Banning DEI Initiatives in Public Schools

A federal judge ruled the Alabama law banning diversity, equity, and inclusion programs will remain while the lawsuit proceeds, restricting schools from funding or sponsoring DEI initiatives.

  • A federal judge declined a request to block an Alabama law that bans diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in public schools and the teaching of concepts related to race and gender.
  • The Alabama law prohibits public schools from funding or sponsoring any DEI program and from requiring students to assent to concepts like assigning fault or bias to a race or sex.
  • While the lawsuit argued the law violates the First Amendment by restricting what educators teach, the judge ruled that academic freedom does not override a university's decisions about classroom instruction.
