  • President Donald Trump orders all federal diversity staff be put on leave 'immediately' - The move revoked President Lyndon Johnson's protection of workers against discrimination

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's latest move in what is described as an attack on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the federal government. Trump has reportedly put all federal DEI workers on administrative leave with the intention of firing them, signaling a significant rollback of DEI programs. This action is part of a broader strategy to dismantle what Trump and his supporters view as "woke" policies, aiming to refocus government efforts away from what they consider to be divisive and unnecessary initiatives. Critics argue that this move not only undermines efforts to promote diversity and inclusion but also sends a chilling message about the administration's priorities regarding civil rights and workplace equality. The decision has sparked controversy, with opponents decrying it as an escalation in the culture wars, potentially affecting morale and the operational effectiveness of federal agencies.
