Trump avslutar ”olagliga” federala DEI-metoder | NTD NYHETER

President Donald Trump ends quote illegal discrimination in the federal government and is restoring quote merit-based opportunity. All federal DEI employees have been put on paid leave and all related websites and social media accounts are to close down by 5 p.m. on Wednesday. An executive order from the White House says hard-working Americans who deserve a shot at the American dream should not be stigmatized, demeaned, or shut out of opportunities because of their race or sex. Senators Tim Kaine and John Kennedy commented on Trump's move. I think this DEI leave is just another example of kind of cruelty. I think the American people have spoken very clearly that the best way to stop discriminating against people on the basis of race and gender is to stop discriminating against people on the basis of race and gender. The White House says that these DEI policies also diminish the importance of individual merit and aptitude when selecting people for jobs, which the administration says can threaten people's safety, especially in sectors like medical aviation and law enforcement. The president also ordered all agencies to enforce our long-standing civil rights laws and to combat illegal private sector DEI preferences, mandates, policies, programs, and activities. Many private companies have already announced ending or overhauling their DEI policies such as Meta, Amazon, and Ford. The Trump administration says it wants to restore the values of individual dignity, hard work, and excellence. President Trump also issued an executive order to return to more traditional design styles for federal buildings. The order is titled Promoting Beautiful Federal Civic Architecture. The order seeks to beautify public spaces and ennoble the United States. The memorandum declares that federal buildings should quote respect regional, traditional, and classical architectural heritage. This is a reintroduction of one Trump issued in 2020 towards the end of his first term. Reporting in Washington DC, Jason Blair, NTD News.
