New York state officials have told the Trump administration that they will not comply with its demands to end diversity, equity and inclusion practices in public schools, despite the administration’s threats to terminate federal education funding.

New York’s stance differed from the muted and deferential responses from other major institutions to the administration’s threats.

The New York State Education Department said it won’t adhere to Trump administration demands that the state cut diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives from schools in exchange for billions in federal funding.
