(The Center Square) — A federal judge in New Hampshire has temporarily blocked a state law targeting diversity, equity and inclusion programs in public schools.

The ruling issued Thursday by U.S. District Court judge Landya McCafferty of New Hampshire sets a two-week restraining order against a portion of the law while she weighs whether to issue a permanent injunction ahead of a trial. The decision means that school districts that are parties to the lawsuit don't have to report any DEI initiatives to the state by a Friday deadline.
