  • A memo sent out by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management outlined steps to begin these changes: layoffs, dismantling websites and social media accounts.

The article from Deseret News discusses former President Donald Trump's plans to dismantle Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices within the federal government if he were to return to office. Trump's strategy includes issuing an executive order on his first day back in office to eliminate these programs, which he and his supporters view as promoting "woke" ideology and reverse discrimination. The initiative would also involve reallocating funds previously used for DEI initiatives to enhance services for veterans, law enforcement, and other groups. Critics argue that this move would undo efforts to address systemic inequalities, while supporters believe it would refocus government efforts on merit and efficiency. The article also touches on the broader political context, mentioning similar actions taken by Republican-led states and the potential implications for federal employment practices.
