Biden Education Department doled out over $1 billion in DEI-related grants
 
President Joe Biden’s Department of Education dolled out over $1 billion in diversity, equity, and inclusion grants since 2021, a new Parents Defending Education report shows.

Almost half, $489,883,797.81, went to DEI hiring while over 30%, $343,337,286, went to DEI programming, and another $169,301,221 went to DEI-based mental health and social-emotional learning programs.

"You reap what you sow, and it is very clear that this Administration’s Department of Education has been incentivizing the advancement of far-left ideologies into American schools in place of rigorous, proven methods of instruction,” PDE researcher Rhyen Staley told the Washington Examiner.

The top five states with the most DEI grants during Biden’s tenure were North Carolina (with $160,871,561), California (with $118,186,920), Florida (with $74,822,150), South Carolina (with $71,893,882), and Michigan (with $48,018,832).

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The money they are throwing around can do a lot of damage.
They are supporting suits against Oil and Gas companies for allegedly causing global warming, too.
Is there any way for those grants to be rescinded?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Dei is nothing more than funneling taxpayer money to people who decided to get degrees in woke subjects like Gender Studies  or Black Perspectives on race.

Yep!

We need to stop that before it becomes as self-perpetuating as sociology.
