Supreme Court Allows Trump Administration To Cut Teacher-training Money, For Now

The Supreme Court on Friday granted the Trump administration's plea to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in teacher-training money as part of its anti-DEI efforts, while a lawsuit continues.

The justices split 5-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the three liberal justices in dissent.

The emergency appeal is among several the high court is considering in which the Justice Department argues that lower-court judges have improperly obstructed President Donald Trump's agenda.

Friday's order was the first time, in three attempts, that the nation's highest court gave the administration what it wanted on an emergency basis.

The Supreme Court previously sided against the administration in another lawsuit over nearly 2 billion in foreign aid cuts in another divided 5-4 ruling, with Justice Amy Coney Barrett in the majority in both cases.
