  • Trump puts all federal DEI workers on leave - and plans to fire them - in latest 'culture wars' attack - Trump's order vowed to restore strictly 'merit-based' hiring in the federal government

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's latest policy proposal targeting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the federal government. Trump has announced plans to place all federal employees involved in DEI programs on administrative leave with the intention of eventually firing them, labeling these programs as part of a "woke" agenda. This move is framed as an attack in the ongoing culture wars, aiming to dismantle what Trump and his supporters view as unnecessary and divisive bureaucratic efforts. Critics argue that this policy not only undermines efforts to promote diversity and inclusion but also represents a significant rollback of civil rights advancements within federal employment. The proposal has sparked considerable debate, with supporters seeing it as a return to merit-based governance, while opponents decry it as an assault on social justice and equality initiatives.
