President Donald Trump began to limit the conversion equal programs through two Executive orders On his first day in the White House. Through these, he also canceled the 60 -year -old executive, which originally implemented equality and diversity programs in the United States.

Below is more about how Trump cleared diversity, fairness and federal inclusion programs (DEI), which was called “radical”, “illegal” and “discriminatory”.

What are these orders?

Two of 26 executive requests were signed on Monday with closely related this: one of them calls for the cancellation of Dei’s federal programs and other invitations to reform federal employment.

Canceling the federal DEI programs

In one Executive orderWith the title of ending the DEI extremist, wasted and exposed government programs, Trump announced that the Joe Biden administration “forced illegal and immoral discrimination programs.”

Dei, also known as Deia (diversity, fairness, integration and accessibility), refers to a set of measures and frameworks within organizations that seek to make themselves more comprehensive and prevent discrimination against historically deprived societies.

Dei’s basic values ​​include:

• diversity: Accept people from different backgrounds
• justice: Fair and equal treatment for all people regardless of the background
• Inclusion: Ensure that minorities are not represented or left behind because of their identities

The executive order stipulates that the director of the administration and budget office (OMB), with the help of the Public Prosecutor and the Director of the Personnel Management Office (OPM), must now finish the DEI programs that operate within the federal government.

To this end, federal employment practices, federation contracts, policies or training programs will be reviewed officially.

Federal recruitment process

Trump also signed another matter, entitled Federal Employment Reform and Restore Women of Government Service, on Monday. It states that current federal employment practices are defective and no longer focused on merit or “dedication to our constitution.”

It calls for the development of a federal employment plan, and to amend how federal employees are setting or shooting, with a focus on merit -based decisions on political considerations within 120 days. The matter adds that the federal employment plan “prevents the employment of individuals based on their race, gender or religion.”

What about the private sector?

As far as it comes to the private sector, on Tuesday, Trump also released separate Presidential work -Instead of an executive order-the address of ending illegal discrimination and restoring the opportunity to merit.

This states “encouraging the private sector to end the discrimination and illegal preferences” and directs all federal agencies to each of them until nine companies publicly circulated or other entities that may be subject to civil investigation.

This procedure also said that he would ask the agencies to “investigate” private companies, non -profit organizations and associations, as well as large institutions and colleges whose value is more than one billion dollars that may adopt DEI practices.

What is the matter of equal job opportunities in 1965 that cancels Trump?

“The executive order 11246 on September 24, 1965 (equal employment opportunity), was canceled according to this,” Trump’s executive says.

Equalization of job opportunities (PdfHe was signed by Lindon B Johnson, Democratic President from 1963 to 1969. Federal contractors were prevented from discrimination in employment decisions based on race, color, religion, gender, national origin.

He also called for positive measures, a policy of preferring individuals who have been historically deprived of employment opportunities. The concept of positive action was presented for the first time in 1961 by Democratic President John F. Kennedy. Johnson’s Executive Order of 1965 was opposed by isolation and Republicans who believed in semester areas on the basis of race.

The matter was signed to prevent discrimination in work against women and minorities. It came among the farms Civil Rights Movement In the United States, which was distinguished by the emergence of the country’s identity policy after a series of large -scale protests and civil disobedience to discrimination against blacks and women.

In 1964, a year before the executive order 11246, Johnson signed the Civil Rights Law, which also banned discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender, or national origin. In 1965, African Americans were recently granted the right to vote through the voting rights law.

Who are Dei workers?

Federal Dei employees are professionals like trainers in diversity offices. The number of federal Dei employees is not clear in total, according to the American Federation of Government Persons (AFG), according to the British Broadcasting Corporation. AFGE is a union that includes 800,000 federal government workers and Washington, DC, throughout the United States and the world.

Many companies and other organizations have increased the employment of Dei’s employees yet George FloydA black man, was killed in May 2020 by a white police officer on a street in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is because “companies have sought to clarify their commitment to diversity and integration,” according to an article published on the website of Diversion Resources, a human resource organization in Colorado.

The White House now stated that all federalism Dei staff They will be sent on paid administrative papers by 5 pm (22:00 GMT) on Wednesday. By this time, all web pages that focus on DEI will also be taken in a non -connection mode. Currently, the pages that focus on Dei have become many federal web sites that are not connected to the Internet, as it displays error messages.

How do Americans feel D.

A survey conducted by the Pew Research Center in February 2023 showed that 56 per cent of American workers included in the survey believed that the focus on Dei at work is good. Sixteen percent believed that it was a bad thing and that 28 percent of the respondents were neutral.

“The retreat from these programs is just another way for President Trump to undermine the civil service based on merit and transfer the federal employment decisions and release in loyalty tests,” according to a press release published on Tuesday by the Union AFGE federal worker.

“The programs that enhance a comprehensive working force guarantee that the rules be applied equally to everyone, in addition to helping to build a federal government similar to the diverse population that serves them.”

However, opposition to the DEI programs was rising in the United States, especially among conservatives. The PEW survey was conducted when the leading companies were preventing their employees from Dei, a sign that the institutions have also begun to reject these plans.

By November 2021, Dei’s roles left companies almost two times such as DEI, according to a New York -based workforce database.

Between July and December 2022, Amazon, Applebee and X, then called Twitter, was the largest external flow from Dei workers.

In June 2023, the United States Supreme Court banned positive measures to submit college requests, and concluded that admission to race violates the equal protection requirement for the American constitution. This was after the students of the non -profit legal call organization claimed for a fair admission (SFFA) in a lawsuit that Harvard College and North Carolina State had violated the fourteenth amendment to the American constitution as well as the 1964 Civil Law with distinction of admission against them against American -American students. SFFA was founded by conservative legal activist Edward Bloom in 2014.

Next, many companies, including McDonald’s, Walmart, Ford, Lowe’s, John Deree and Trartor Supply, have resisted their DEI programs.

On January 3, 2024, the technical billionaire Elon Musk, chosen by Trump to lead the Ministry of Governmental efficiency (DOGE), was published on X: “Dei is just another word of racism. Shame on anyone who uses it.”
