President Donald Trump’s the administration initiated actions to end diversity, social justice and inclusion programs within the federal framework.
CBS News and the AP news agency have reported on the matter.
Those working on these so-called DEI programs have been placed on mandatory paid leave. Later, they are supposed to be separated.
Officials have also been ordered to remove all federal websites related to DEI programs by Wednesday evening.
Diversity, compliance with social justice and inclusion have been criteria in the federal government’s contract practices with, for example, subcontractors.
Conservatives who support Trump believe that, for example, DEI programs discriminate against majority groups such as white men.
