President Donald Trump is clearly serious about eliminating racist DEI initiatives and other forms of race-based discrimination, old and new.
On Tuesday he issued the following statement: presidential order Require all executive departments and agencies to eliminate “all discriminatory and unlawful preferences, obligations, policies, programs, activities, guidance, regulations, enforcement actions, consent orders, and requirements” and to eliminate similar discriminatory DEI Directing combat policies and activities.
President Trump rescinded President Lyndon B. Johnson's 1965 executive order, leaving opposing federal officials with virtually no grounds for resistance. Executive Order 11246which requires government contractors to implement affirmative action, as well as other racially preferential executive actions issued by former presidents. bill clinton and barack obama.
in him order“Ending Unlawful Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity,” President Trump said in a speech titled “Ending Unlawful Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity,” while federal civil rights laws protect Americans from discrimination, nearly 60 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Over the course of the (DEI) …That could violate civil rights laws in this country.”
In addition to violating the letter and spirit of U.S. civil rights law, President Trump said these DEI policies “negate and discredit traditional American values of hard work, excellence, and individual achievement.” “It undermines the unity of the people because it puts the interests of the people first.” It is an illegal, corrupt and harmful identity-based loot system. ”
“This is a groundbreaking change that will be written in the history books.”
Research released in November by the Network Infection Research Institute and Rutgers University supports President Trump's concerns about the divisive nature of DEI.
“While DEI efforts typically affirm the laudable goals of combating bias and promoting inclusivity, an emerging body of research is highlighting the existence of anti-oppressive discourses within particularly ideological and obsessive monocultures. “We warn that such interventions may encourage authoritarian thinking,” the study said. “The drive toward absolute impartiality can undermine pluralism and create a (potentially violent) desire for ideological purity.”
After vacating Johnson's chief operating officer position, President Trump ordered the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs to immediately halt “diversity” initiatives and require affirmative action for federal contractors and subcontractors. and directed federal contractors to “allow or encourage the balancing of their workforces on the basis of diversity.” race, color, gender, sexual orientation, religion, national origin. ”
In addition to tasking the nominee for director of the Office of Management and Budget with cleaning up all DEI terminology, principles, and schemes in federal acquisition, contract, grant, and financial assistance processes, doing so would “streamline these processes.” “The aim is to improve speed and efficiency, reduce costs, and comply with civil rights laws.” – President Trump said private-sector DEI practitioners could soon face a storm of discriminatory practices. He suggested that there was.
The Attorney General will work with the heads of relevant federal agencies to develop recommendations on how the Trump Administration can eliminate civil rights-infringing DEI practices in the private sector, along with a list of the worst offenders and actionable strategies. I plan to create a list.
“Hard-working Americans who deserve a shot at the American Dream should not be stigmatized, diminished, or excluded from opportunity because of their race or gender,” Trump wrote.
Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute who has been at war with DEI for years, said: called Trump's inauguration as president is a “massive change.”
Texas Congressman Chip Roy (Republican) tweeted“This is a game changer and we should strive to make it permanent. All @freedomcaucus will vote to codify this. But many Republicans We must be equally bold in Congress.”
“This is a groundbreaking change that will be written in the history books.” I wrote Eric Kaufman is a professor of political science at the University of Buckingham. “The fact that this hasn't happened for more than half a century despite support from two-thirds of the public is evidence of the cultural power of the (exaggerated) anti-racism taboo on successive Republican elites. .”
