The Trump administration has launched an “End DEI” portal on the Education Department website, which will allow parents to report instances of diversity, equity, and inclusion at public schools.
Following President Donald Trump’s order to eliminate DEI initiatives, the portal is for parents, students, teachers, and community members to submit reports of race- or sex-based discrimination, according to an Education Department press release.
The portal can be found at EndDEI.Ed.Gov and reads, “Schools should be focused on learning,” in bold letters. Reports submitted through the portal will help the Education Department identify areas for investigation.
“For years, parents have been begging schools to focus on teaching their kids practical skills like reading, writing, and math instead of pushing critical theory, rogue sex education, and divisive ideologies,” Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice said, “but their concerns have been brushed off, mocked, or shut down entirely.
“Parents, now is the time that you share the receipts of the betrayal that has happened in our public schools,” Justice added.
The Education Department has long been a topic of conservative ire, with Republicans continuously calling for it to be shut down.
Trump issued an executive order on his first day in office calling for an end to DEI programs in the federal government.
“The previous administration has embedded deeply unpopular, inflationary, illegal, and radical practices within every agency and office of the Federal Government,” the order reads. It accuses DEI initiatives of replacing hard work, merit, and equality with a divisive preferential hierarchy, and also criticizes climate policies, claiming they contributed to inflation and overburdened businesses with regulation.”

The anti-DEI push has included calls for people to report their colleagues or neighbors for trying to keep them going under the radar.
Trump previously sent a memorandum to federal employees, giving them 10 days to report changes in contract or personnel position description made since Election Day and warnings that they could see “adverse consequences” if they failed to do so.
