The Education Department began discontinuing the grants in April, claiming that schools diversifying their pool of psychologists are misusing the funds. President Donald Trump’s January executive order called on programs that foster diversity, equity and inclusion in schools to be cut.

The lawsuit asks the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington in Seattle to declare the grant terminations unlawful, reinstate the funding and prevent the Education Department “from imposing similar ideological conditions moving forward,” according to a news release from New York Attorney General Letitia James.
