PHOENIX -- Fearing loss of federal dollars, state schools chief Tom Horne wants the Board of Education to immediately start the process of revising the standards used to train teachers in Arizona.

Horne says an order issued by President Donald Trump the first day he was elected requires states to scrub any references to "diversity, equity, and inclusion" from any programs receiving federal funds. And he contends there are items in Arizona's professional teaching standards that could run afoul of that edict.
