                    BIDEN-HARRIS DEI SPENDING BINGE

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, a new report from Parents Defending Education, 
PDE, revealed that the Biden-Harris administration spent over $1 
billion of taxpayer money on so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion 
programming.
  DEI is the woke addiction that the Biden-Harris administration simply 
cannot quit. Instead of becoming a more perfect Union, DEI turns our 
schools, communities, and cities into cesspools of divisiveness and 
hate. We know DEI bureaucracies are also notorious drivers of campus 
anti-Semitism.
  PDE's new report is jaw-dropping, and it confirms that this 
administration was more concerned about contorting the minds of 
America's future leaders rather than educating them.
  This relentless push to tell students what to think instead of how to 
think must stop. Fortunately for parents, students, and hardworking 
taxpayers, President Trump sees DEI for what it is: a cancer that is 
divisive, excessive, and ineffective.
