In a notable move against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, President Trump rescinded a decades-old executive order that prohibited discrimination in hiring and employment practices. This action reflects a broader anti-woke sentiment, seeking to dismantle existing DEI policies within federal agencies and private sector corporations. The new mandate demands that employers certify the absence of what Trump deems 'illegal' DEI programs and also encourages federal investigations into these practices. The executive order signals a shift away from established civil rights protections towards a meritocracy narrative, despite ongoing civil rights laws.
President Trump’s recent actions to rescind nearly 60-year-old protections against discrimination signal a profound shift in federal policies endorsing diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The new mandates establish a requirement for government contractors to ensure no presence of 'illegal' DEI programs, impacting numerous entities across the country.
