Did anyone else get the official email from the US Department of Education and start feeling some kind of way?

So I get various newsletters from the us department of education because I have two kids in the public school system and it seemed like a good idea to sign up a few years ago. Since I can’t post a screenshot, here is a copy/paste of the email:

U.S. Department of Education Launches “End DEI” Portal

WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Department of Education launched EndDEI.Ed.Gov, 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.

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. The Department of Education will use submissions as a guide to identify potential areas for investigation.

“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,” said Tiffany Justice, Co-Founder of Moms for Liberty. “Parents, now is the time that you share the receipts of the betrayal that has happened in our public schools. This webpage demonstrates that President Trump’s Department of Education is putting power back in the hands of parents.”

They had me with the first paragraph. Why, yes, I would LOVE to end discrimination and make all kids feel welcome in the school. Getting rid of DEI is not the way to do it! In fact DEI prevents discrimination?!? I WANT diversity, equity, and inclusion in schools! And now, Moms of Liberty (aka book burners) are spewing this double talk about betrayal.

I can’t. I’ve already been feeling enough anxiety about the irreparable damage that is being done to my country and thought (stupidly) that even though my young children will be dealing with the ramification of todays decisions for literal decades, they’d be spared being affected right now.
