Bombshell Report Claims That Biden’s Education Department Spent $1 Billion on DEI
Parents Defending Education, a parental rights group, conducted a study that found the Department of Education of President Joe Biden spent at least one billion dollars on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives (DEI) since 2021.
Researchers found that $490 millions was spent on DEI hiring, $343 on DEI programs and $170 on mental health resources related to DEI.
The study highlights that several Education Department grants are “geared towards advancing race-based teacher recruitment, hiring and training including the use race-based affinity group.”
PDE also awarded many grants for youth activism programs used in ethnic studies classes on the far left:

The University of Iowa has received a grant of $1,261,718 for the training of 40 elementary teachers in “equity-centered education”.
The University of Missouri – St. Louis has been awarded a grant of $306,209 to train school counsellors in Trauma-Informed Antiracist Social-Emotional Learning.
[…]
The Department of Education (ED), from 2021 until the present, awarded 162 grants to universities, school districts and nonprofits totaling $1,002,522,304.81. This report includes only grants that included Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Restorative Practices, and/or Youth Activism as part of their programming.
Rhyen Staley is a PDE Researcher, author of GrantEd, and the author of the GrantEd Report.
The only groups or individuals who benefitted from the huge amount of grant money were the universities, administrators and DEI consultants at the expense to children’s education. Staley said that this needs to be changed by putting children’s education at the forefront, rather than prioritizing DEI and race-based policies.
