Remaining Steadfast in our Purpose: The Ethical & Moral Basis for Sustaining DEIA in Education

In this third and final episode of our three-part series with educator and attorney Jeremy Chan-Kraushar, we explore how school leaders can remain steadfast in their commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility amid today’s shifting legal landscape. Building on the previous conversations, this episode makes the ethical and practical case for keeping DEIA at the heart of education. Jeremy and the CRSLI team unpack current legal challenges, weigh policy paths, and share actionable, CRSL-aligned recommendations that leaders can implement now—within existing legal frameworks. This episode offers grounded guidance for advancing equity with courage and clarity. You can download and read the accompanying legal brief on our blog at crsli.org/blog
