Dept of Education rips AP for 'inaccurate, dangerous' claim that it neglects Black students

The Department of Education criticized the Associated Press for labeling its actions as 'inaccurate and dangerous' after AP accused the administration of neglecting Black students. AP highlighted the Trump administration's reversal of historical efforts to address racial inequities in education, including cutting funding for diverse magnet schools and investigating programs targeting Black student success in Chicago and Los Angeles. The ED defended its civil rights investigations, arguing they apply to all students, not just Black students.
