U.S. Attorney Threatens Georgetown Law School for 'Teaching DEI'

Reason - Last month, Edward Martin, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, sent a letter to the dean of Georgetown Law School, indicating that it is under investigation for continuing to "teach and promote" diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). 

"It has come to my attention reliably that Georgetown Law School continues to teach and promote DEI. This is unacceptable. I have begun an inquiry into this and would welcome your response to the following questions," Martin's letter states. "First, have you eliminated all DEI from your school and its curriculum? Second, if DEI is found in your courses or teaching in any way, will you move swiftly to remove it?"

Additionally, Martin's letter threatened to directly punish Georgetown Law students themselves. "At this time, you should know that no applicant for our fellows program, our summer internship, or employment in our office who is a student or affiliated with a law school or university that continues to teach and utilize DEI will be considered," the letter reads.
