Trump Suspends Dozens In Education Department As DOGE Devises Plan To Dismantle Agency
(www.zerohedge.com)https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-suspends-dozens-education-department-doge-devises-plan-dismantle-agencyDozens of employees at the US Department of Education were placed on paid leave after refusing to adhere to President Trump's executive order banning DEI programs in the federal government, according to AP, citing a labor union that represents the employees.
At least 55 Education Department employees received an email Friday notifying them that they were being placed on paid leave effective immediately, pursuant to Trump's executive order. Those placed on leave have lost access to their government email accounts and were told not to report to the office. While the exact reasons for the paid leave are unknown, most of the affected workers appear to have taken a voluntary diversity training seminar offered by the department.
