On Friday, Attorney General Josh Kaul and 19 attorneys general, filed a lawsuit challenging the U.S. Department of Education’s threat to withhold federal funding from state and local agencies that refuse to abandon lawful programs and policies that promote equal access to education in K-12 classrooms. On April 3rd the Department of Education informed state and local agencies that they must accept the Trump Administration’s new interpretation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or risk immediate loss of federal education funds. The U.S. Department of Education provides Wisconsin with $554.1 Million in financial support each year. The lawsuit asserts that the Department of Education’s attempt to terminate federal education funding violates the Spending Clause, the Appropriations Clause, the separation of powers, and the Administrative Procedures Act.
