Trump officials bar 'race,' other terms in Head Start grant applications from certain programs
The Trump administration has directed Head Start providers to avoid using certain terms in federal grant applications, including 'race' and 'belonging', as part of a directive aimed at promoting inclusivity.
The Trump administration has instructed Head Start providers to exclude certain terms from their federal grant applications, including 'race,' 'belonging' and 'pregnant people', in a directive that could impact organizations serving diverse communities. The move is seen as an attempt to minimize the use of terminology that could be perceived as inclusive or socially conscious. The directive aims to simplify the application process while avoiding language that might create controversy. As a result, some Head Start providers may struggle to articulate their commitment to equity and diversity.
