Can the government decide which version of history gets funded? A US court says no, for now

A US district judge in New York issued a preliminary injunction halting the cancellation of National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) grants linked to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) topics. The decision followed a lawsuit by the Authors Guild, alleging First Amendment violations. Judge Colleen McMahon ruled that the terminations were based on viewpoint discrimination. The injunction preserves existing grant funds until a full trial is held, though some related claims by other groups were denied.
