E.K. v. Department of Defense Education Activity is a case pending in the U.S District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU of Virginia, and ACLU of Kentucky. The complaint claims that Trump's Executive Orders 14168, 14185, and 14190 violate the First Amendment on their face and in the way they are being used by defendants. The executive orders aim to remove gender ideology, DEI, and critical race theory and aim to remove them from schools. The case specifically relates to application in military schools of Executive Order 14190, titled "Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling". [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
