Recently, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers detained a superintendent in Iowa. Now, the Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating the school district over its alleged diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

From the Washington Examiner:
ICE officers detained Ian Roberts, the superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools, on Monday, alleging he was living and working in the country illegally. He has lost his state license and has been placed on unpaid leave. On Tuesday afternoon, he resigned from his position.
The DOJ sent a letter to the system’s interim superintendent, Matthew Smith, informing him of the investigation into the district’s alleged diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon is informing the district of the Title VII inquiry, and acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Eric Sell will lead it.
“Our investigation is based on information that DMPS may be engaged in employment practices that discriminate against employees, job applicants, and training program participants based on race, color, and national origin in violation of Title VII,” Dhillon wrote.
According to Dhillon, the school district was quoted as stating, “Diversity enriches the climate and strengthens the effectiveness of our schools.” The district also reportedly set “race-and-color-based teacher recruitment goals.” Dhillon said the DOJ has not reached any conclusions, but is currently considering relevant info.
According to the Examiner, it’s unclear if the detainment of Roberts is related to the DOJ’s investigation, although it is telling that a school allegedly pushing DEI would also allegedly hire and illegal immigrant. Roberts, currently awaiting immigration proceedings in an Iowa jail, is expected to be deported.
President Trump has, in his second term, cracked down hard on DEI programs in schools around the country. The Examiner notes that the Department of Education has pulled millions in grants from school districts in Virginia, New York, and Illinois over similar DEI programs.
As the Trump administration continues to push back on divisive DEI programs and policies, let’s pray for boldness, strength, and wisdom!

“What tangled webs we weave, when first we practice to deceive!” I remember the quote, but not who said it. How true it is!
I believe the repercussions of DEI (which is not diversity, equity and inclusion – but instead in reality it is disability, inequity and exclusion – DIE!) is a huge web that it will take time to discover and destroy. Many are suffering in their current jobs because of its influence – carrying the weight of poor or unqualified employees who are getting paid, but not earning it.
YHVH, please deliver us from DEI – let it DIE! Let merit, excellence and intelligence be honored and rewarded in this day. Proverbs 18:16 – A person’s gift clears his/her way, and gives him/her access to the great! That is how it should be!
I suppose in addition to disability, it could also be disunity – have we ever seen such a display of disunity in our nation? Even in the civil war, there were certain common values that held our nation together. even though at times it was a very thin thread. Has that thread snapped?
