President Donald Trump has ended anti-white, anti-Christian discrimination in the federal government that began 60 years ago, and is bringing down the curtain on the diversity, equity, and inclusion clown show promoted by Joe Biden and his former boss, President Barack Hussein Obama.
Lawyers at the communist-founded American Civil Liberties Union are undoubtedly weeping and gnashing their teeth. Trump scrapped President Lyndon Johnson’s affirmative action executive order of 1965, along with four others and an Obama diversity mandate.
And a memorandum from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has suspended the employment of federal DEI employees.
To protect American airline passengers, Trump ordered the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to end its DEI, non-merit based hiring.
LBJ Order, Others Gone
Fittingly, Trump used civil-rights lingo to overturn the myriad anti-white policies that began decades ago.
“Longstanding Federal civil-rights laws protect individual Americans from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin,” says the order, called “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-based Opportunities”:
These civil-rights protections serve as a bedrock supporting equality of opportunity for all Americans. As President, I have a solemn duty to ensure that these laws are enforced for the benefit of all Americans.
Yet today, roughly 60 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, critical and influential institutions of American society, including the Federal Government, major corporations, financial institutions, the medical industry, large commercial airlines, law enforcement agencies, and institutions of higher education have adopted and actively use dangerous, demeaning, and immoral race- and sex-based preferences under the guise of so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) or “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility” (DEIA) that can violate the civil-rights laws of this Nation.
The order calls those policies “illegal,” and declares that they “undermine national unity” and the merits of “hard work” and personal “excellence.” Notes the order:
Hardworking 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.
Thus did Trump mandate ending illegal discrimination by ending illegal affirmative action and DEI policies and mandates.
Rescinded are the following:
- President Bill Clinton’s ridiculous Executive Order 12898 of February 11, 1994 — Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations;
- Obama’s Executive Order 13583 of August 18, 2011 — Establishing a Coordinated Government-wide Initiative to Promote Diversity and Inclusion in the Federal Workforce;
- Obama’s Executive Order 13672 of July 21, 2014 — Further Amendments to Executive Order 11478, Equal Employment Opportunity in the Federal Government, and Executive Order 11246, Equal Employment Opportunity — a sop to sex perverts; and,
- Obama’s dangerous Presidential Memorandum of October 5, 2016 — Promoting Diversity and Inclusion in the National Security Workforce.
Trump also nixed LBJ’s Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965 — Equal Employment Opportunity. It required “affirmative action” in hiring.
And POTUS 47 said that the government must comply with President George W. Bush’s Executive Order 13279 of December 12, 2002 — Equal Protection of the Laws for Faith-based and Community Organizations.
As well, Trump immediately stopped the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs from promoting “diversity,” “holding Federal contractors and subcontractors responsible for taking ‘affirmative action,’” and encouraging those contractors to balance their workforces “based on race, color, sex, sexual preference, religion, or national origin.”
Bye-bye DEI
But Trump didn’t stop there. Federal agencies must “excise” all reference to DEI principles, “under whatever name they may appear” from all “federal acquisition, contracting, grants, and financial assistance procedures.”
They must “terminate” all other such mandates, programs, and activities.
And the government must encourage the private sector to scrap illegal DEI discrimination.
Pursuant to Trump’s order, the acting head of OPM, Charles Ezell, delivered the sad news to the DEI bureaucracy: Look for another job. Ezell gave three deadlines to shut down the wasteful DEI bureaucracy.
As of 5 p.m. today, January 22, all federal agencies must:
- Inform employees that DEI offices are closing and ask “employees if they know of any efforts to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language;
- Notify DEIA employees that they are on paid administrative leave immediately;
- Shutter all DEIA office media such as websites and social-media accounts; and,
- Withdraw all future DEI plans, cancel any such training, and terminate DEI contractors.
By noon tomorrow, January 23, agencies must report to OPM on their progress, including providing a list of DEIA offices and employees and agency contracts as of November 5, and agency plans to comply with Trump’s order and Ezell’s memo.
By 5 p.m. on January 31, agencies must provide a written plan on firing DEI employees, and importantly, “a list of all contract descriptions or personnel position descriptions that were changed since November 5, 2024 to obscure their connection to DEIA programs.”
In other words, Trump and his deputies expect federal bureaucrats to disobey his orders and illegally disguise their programs.
Maybe It’s Safe to Fly Now
Last, Trump’s “Keeping Americans Safe in Aviation” ends the promotion of unqualified minorities and sex weirdos in the Federal Aviation Administration.
During the Biden administration, the FAA “betrayed its mission by elevating dangerous discrimination over excellence,” the memo says, noting that the agency’s DEI website said the FAA would hire the seriously physically handicapped.
As The New American reported last year, the FAA sought to hire the deaf, dumb, blind, mentally ill, and even those with “complete paralysis.”
That is unsafe for American airline passengers, and discourages highly qualified individuals from seeking a job at the FAA.
The agency may no longer discriminate in hiring to achieve “diversity,” and all DEI policies and practice are therefore rescinded.
Trump also ordered the secretary of transportation and FAA chief to fire any unqualified employee who was hired not for merit but to meet DEI mandates.
In keeping with his move against DEI ideology, Trump fired the head of the Coast Guard, Linda Fagan. The female four-star admiral was obsessed with DEI and failed in her border-security mission. The former likely led to the latter.
