The American Federation of Teachers, a union representing more than 1.8 million educators, had sued to keep members of Mr. Musk’s government efficiency team out of the Education Department’s systems.

A federal judge on Monday blocked DOGE from accessing sensitive data maintained by the U.S. Education Department.

In just 48 hours, the Department of Government Efficiency slashed a whopping $370 million in taxpayer dollars being spent on diversity, equity, and inclusion at the Department of Education.
