The description that it's "to "whistle-blow" on teachers who mention anything remotely related to diversity and inclusion" is a bit hyperbolic - the exact language on the site is:
The U.S. Department of Education is committed to ensuring all students have access to meaningful learning free of divisive ideologies and indoctrination. This submission form is an outlet for students, parents, teachers, and the broader community to report illegal discriminatory practices at institutions of learning.
The concern isn't theoretical - after orders to disband DEI departments, some schools simply renamed them to "community" departments or similar, and kept all the staff: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/government/state-policy/2024/04/10/diversity-office-name-changes-spark-concern-both-sides https://www.insidehighered.com/news/government/state-policy/...
