TRUST Network Early Warning Bulletin
Hate In Our Schools: Impact of DEI Cuts, Curriculum Changes, and Advocacy Group Influence on Social Cohesion and Violence Risk Date: April, 2025 Issued by: CEWAP Early Warning Division
This report evaluates the impact of recent policy changes, including the removal of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) components from curricula and severe DEI funding cuts. Additionally, it provides an academic analysis of advocacy groups, such as Moms for Liberty and Project 2025, whose campaigns shape the sociopolitical landscape. The analysis concludes that these shifts may heighten hate incidents, weaken social cohesion, and increase political polarization, with both short- and long-term consequences.
Introduction
The current administration’s education reforms, compounded by conservative advocacy campaigns, have restructured DEI policies nationwide. This analysis highlights the key players and their impact on societal tensions.
These moves come against the background of hate crimes within educational settings that have garnered significant attention due to their profound impact on students' well-being and the overall school environment. Analyzing data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Center for Education Statistics provides insight into the prevalence, nature, and trends of these incidents in schools across the United States (Federal Bureau of Investigation, 2023; National Center for Education Statistics, 2023).
