  • President Donald Trump's sweeping orders to end the government's diversity, equity and inclusion effort mark a sea change for the country, unwinding decades-long priorities for the nation's largest employer
  • the federal government
  • and broader efforts to push the private sector to ensure its workforce is diverse and inclusive

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's recent executive orders aimed at dismantling Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs across federal agencies. These orders reflect Trump's broader push for what he describes as a "profound cultural shift" towards what he terms "equality" rather than "equity." Trump's actions are part of his ongoing critique of DEI initiatives, which he and his supporters argue promote division and reverse discrimination. The orders specifically target training sessions, hiring practices, and policies that consider race, gender, or other identity factors in decision-making processes. Critics of Trump's moves see them as an attempt to roll back progress on civil rights and social justice, potentially exacerbating inequalities. This initiative aligns with Trump's previous efforts during his presidency to challenge what he perceives as "woke" culture, signaling a significant policy direction should he return to office.
