Trump administration cancels $16 million WA digital equity grant [View all]
The Trump administration has rescinded a $16 million grant to create a new cybersecurity literacy program in Washington.
The state Department of Commerce received word of the canceled funding Friday. That was one day after President Donald Trump called the Digital Equity Act that created the grant program “racist” and “unconstitutional.”
The letter the U.S. Department of Commerce sent state officials on Friday followed the same logic, calling the digital equity program “unconstitutional.” It said “grants issued pursuant to it were created with, and administered using, impermissible and unconstitutional racial preferences.”
States across the nation have received similar notices.
