No DEI at DY
What’s Happening:
Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School District (DY) is preparing to embed two full-time Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) officers in every school for the 2025–2026 school year. These aren’t support counselors. These are district-level ideological enforcers with administrative authority—tasked with monitoring classroom content, influencing curriculum, interrogating “equity issues,” and overseeing identity-based hiring decisions. This site exists to document the facts and invite other parents, taxpayers, and concerned citizens to act before this becomes permanent.
How This Started:
In June 2025, local residents first saw the DEI job postings circulating on social media. Before reacting publicly, a formal inquiry was made by phone and email to the DY administration office to confirm the postings were real. After official confirmation, the details were reviewed and the plan was found completely unacceptable. DY is attempting to embed internal DEI enforcement officers—effectively ideological monitors—into the school system, using taxpayer dollars.
Next Step:
A formal federal civil rights complaint will be filed on Friday, July 18, 2025. Before filing, other parents, taxpayers, and community members are being offered the opportunity to co-sign. To be listed as a co-complainant, email before Thursday, July 17, 2025 at:
absolutely@NoDEIatDY.com
The final complaint will also be CC’d to Parents Defending Education (PDE).
The Issue:
These DEI roles are not neutral. DY’s own job description shows these employees will:
- Influence curriculum design and lesson content
- Oversee identity-based hiring and staff committees
- Confront students and teachers about subjective “equity issues”
- Push district-wide DEI ideological messaging
