(The Center Square) – The U.S. Department of Education has launched the “End DEI” portal for parents to report instances of race or sex-based discrimination in K-12 schools.

EndDEI is “a public portal for parents, students, teachers, and the broader community to submit reports of discrimination based on race or sex in publicly-funded K-12 schools,” according to a department news release.

The release stated that “the secure portal allows parents to provide an email address, the name of the student’s school or school district, and details of the concerning practices.”

Education Department spokeswoman Julie Hartman told The Center Square that “the EndDEI portal is an invitation for parents to make their voices heard after being ignored.”

“One of the greatest priorities of President Trump’s agenda has been to end the illegal discriminatory ideologies and practices which have been poisoning our schoolchildren under the banner of ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,’” Hartman said.

“The Office for Civil Rights will review submissions to identify potential areas for investigation,” Hartman said.

The portal’s webpage states that “schools should be focused on learning.”

“The U.S. Department of Education is committed to ensuring all students have access to meaningful learning free of divisive ideologies and indoctrination,” the webpage says.

Co-Founder of Moms for Liberty Tiffany Justice said in a release that EndDEI “demonstrates that President Trump’s Department of Education is putting power back in the hands of parents.”

Moms for Liberty is an organization dedicated to “unifying, educating and empowering parents to defend their parental rights at all levels of government,” according to its website.

“For years, parents have been begging schools to focus on teaching their kids practical skills like reading, writing, and math, instead of pushing critical theory, rogue sex education and divisive ideologies – but their concerns have been brushed off, mocked, or shut down entirely,” Justice said.

“Parents, now is the time that you share the receipts of the betrayal that has happened in our public schools,” Justice said.

The Education Department also recently sent a Dear Colleague letter to places of education receiving federal funds, stating that race-based decisions are unlawful, and failure to comply with the law may result in a school or district losing its funding, The Center Square previously reported.

Federal law “prohibits covered entities from using race in decisions pertaining to admissions, hiring, promotion, compensation, financial aid, scholarships, prizes, administrative support, discipline, housing, graduation ceremonies, and all other aspects of student, academic, and campus life,” the letter stated.
