Donald Trump, in his quest to destroy all initiatives aimed at creating an equal playing field for marginalized groups, revokes a 60-year-old executive order that prohibited the federal government from using discriminatory practices in hiring.
The first two days of Trump’s presidency have seen him fixated on destroying any directives constructed to combat workplace discrimination. He quickly put all federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) employees on paid leave and took down all the DEI offices’ web pages while indicating future plans for layoffs. Trump has pushed the narrative that DEI initatives and programs are discriminatory to white people and leads to the hiring of unqualified individuals, even though these claims have been debunked. During his inauguration speech, he claimed, “We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based.” The problem is that DEI, affirmative action, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Act were all put in place because many businesses didn’t hire on a merit-based system. Yet, Trump claims that rolling back every measure intended to combat discrimination and promote workplace equality will create fairness.
