Under Trump, Head Start grant applications are being scrubbed of words like ‘women,’ ‘race’ and ‘pregnant’

Head Start providers are being directed by the Trump administration to remove terms like 'race,' 'belonging,' and 'pregnant people' from federal grant applications. This move, impacting nearly 200 words including 'Black' and 'disability,' aims to dismantle diversity initiatives. Legal challenges argue this conflicts with the Head Start Act's requirement for demographic data collection, potentially jeopardizing services for vulnerable children.
