Stop DEI Law: A Push to Cut Race‑Based Rules in Colleges

A new bill from Representative Young Kim aims to bar federal money from colleges that use diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs as a cover for discrimination. Kim says the law will only fund schools that treat all students fairly, no matter their race or background. She points to California voters and Supreme Court rulings as proof that people do not want race‑based policies. Kim warns lawmakers are already trying to sidestep the court’s decision by creating loopholes in education.The bill is simple: if a school discriminates on the basis of race, sex, ethnicity, color or national origin, it loses federal funds. Kim says the act supports past executive moves to roll back DEI initiatives and will keep schools accountable across all federal funding streams. She argues that true opportunity depends on merit, not identity, and that the bill protects taxpayers by ensuring equal treatment for all students.
