Trump administration directs all federal diversity, equity and inclusion staff be put on leave

LA Times  

President Trump signed a series of executive orders on his first day, one of which ordered a sweeping dismantling of the federal government’s diversity and inclusion programs. The moves Tuesday follow an executive order Trump signed on his first day ordering a sweeping dismantling of the federal government’s diversity and inclusion programs that could touch on matters including anti-bias training and funding for minority farmers and homeowners. The move comes after Monday’s executive order accused former President Biden of forcing “discrimination” programs into “virtually all aspects of the federal government” through “diversity, equity and inclusion,” or DEI, programs. Bains said that’s what Biden’s DEI policies were about: ensuring that the federal government was structured to include historically marginalized communities, not institute “reverse discrimination against white men.” Despite the sweeping language of Trump’s order, Farrell said, “the reality of implementing such massive structural changes is far more complex.” “Federal agencies have deeply embedded policies and procedures that can’t simply be switched off overnight,” she added.
