Trump ends diversity efforts in federal government. Is the private sector next?

The article discusses former President Donald Trump's efforts to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the federal government, as highlighted by his administration's actions and statements. Trump's administration issued an executive order in 2020 that banned federal agencies and contractors from conducting diversity training that included concepts like "white privilege" or "critical race theory," arguing that such training was divisive and discriminatory. This move was part of a broader pushback against what Trump and his supporters viewed as "woke" culture infiltrating government operations. The article also speculates on whether these policies could influence the private sector, noting that while Trump's direct influence on private companies is limited, his actions might encourage similar policies in businesses, especially if there's a shift in political power. Critics argue that these efforts could reverse progress on workplace diversity and inclusion, potentially affecting corporate America's approach to DEI if Trump or like-minded politicians gain more influence.
