In an alarming move just two days into the new Trump administration, thousands of federal employees received directives to identify and report on any contracts or projects sympathetic to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) initiatives. This unsettling push from officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, includes harsh consequences for non-compliance and positions DEIA policies as detrimental to traditional American values. Many agencies received the directive, which undermined previous executive orders aimed at promoting DEIA, signaling a significant shift in federal policy and attitude towards inclusivity and equity in the workplace.
On the second day of Trump’s new administration, federal workers received a directive demanding they search for and report on any contracts sympathetic to DEI policies.
The emails described DEIA initiatives as a disgrace that undermined traditional American values and threatened punitive actions against those who failed to comply.
