My son's school just lost $2 million… because they ‘care too much’?

I never thought I’d say this, but our school is being punished for trying to help kids. My son’s middle school just lost $2 million in federal education funding. Why? Because the district offers “too many DEI programs.” (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion—God forbid we teach kids to be decent human beings.) Let me tell you what we lost: The free after-school tutoring for kids falling behind? Gone. The only Spanish-speaking school counselor? Let go. Mental health workshops for teens with anxiety? Canceled. Books about different cultures in the library? Removed “just in case.” All because some official in a suit thinks it’s “woke.” 👉 When did compassion become a political issue? These programs saved my son last year. He was bullied for his stutter. The counselor helped. He joined the diversity club and finally made friends. Now that’s all gone. And no one even asked the parents. Let’s call this what it is: Playing politics with our kids’ futures. And I won’t stay quiet. #StopDefundingSchools #DEIMatters #EducationNotPolitics #ParentsForChange #SchoolCutsHurtKids #EveryChildMatters #MiddleSchoolReality
