The Federal Judge of the United States Landya McCafferty suspended the decision of the White House that removed the financing of educational institutions that implemented diversity policies.
The determination mainly reached elementary schools, commanded by US states, but which receive funds from the Union.
The magistrate stated that the practice probably constitutes a violation of the first amendment of the Constitution, which guarantees freedom of expression.
The order does not prohibit the freezing of transfers throughout the country, but prevents it from entering force in schools and colleges that employ teachers associated with the main union of the category, responsible for the action.
The suspension of transfers is the main way Donald Trump has adopted to press, also to press US universities to abandon any diversity policy.
In another process, Harvard University asks the court to oblige the government to release $ 2 billion foreseen for scientific promotion.
The White House, on the other hand, states that the institution was lenient with anti -Semitic demonstrations and therefore barred the resources.
The main American universities – called Ivy League – are private, but have government financial support to maintain cutting -edge research. Without this money, Harvard says he would not have been able to find ways to cheapen genetic sequencing, for example.
In the process, Harvard argues that the government would be holding resources as a way to control scientific research produced at the university, which would be unconstitutional.
This Thursday (24), Trump resumed the attacks against the university, stating that Harvard is anti-Semitic and extreme left. “The place is a liberal mess” and a “a threat to democracy,” Trump wrote on a social network.
