President Donald Trump has never been ashamed of his hatred about diversity programs, about which his conservative supporters have long said that this is racial discrimination with white Americans.
In his first week in the White House, the president signed executive orders, which closed diversity, equality and involvement in all executive branch agencies, or the DEI offices.
“We will have a merit -based government, not of race,” Charlie Kirk, a conservative political activist, who is white, in a post on X on Jan 21, in a post, which was known as Twitter, Executive Reacting to the order.

The memo moves further, however, tells workers to report any attempt to “disguise” diversity programs using “coded or wrong language, and those who do not report such methods.” They will also face “negative results”.

Basic civil rights
In addition to the ax carrying the Federal DEI programs, which has been a recent political issue, Trump canceled the historic 1965 executive order, which was actually signed by London Johnson.
Policy, known as Executive Order 11246Instructed federal contractors to take “positive action” to prevent discrimination in their firms, and began as a commitment to create racial equality at the height of the civil rights movement.
It puts federal contractors at a higher standard than other employers to ensure that women and colorful people have equal opportunities in employment, training and promotions.
The historians have noted that separatists actually opposed the LBJ era order, and in the subsequent decades, conservative critics jumped as a “quota system”. For example, the Reagan administration tried to abolish the order but was afraid of Congress and business leaders at the time.
Conservative activist Kirk said it was huge. “Reagan, HW Bush, and Bush never dared to touch it. Now it is over. America is emerging.”

Maryland’s state legislator, Democrat Ashanti Martinez, said in a statement that “reducing diversity” will eventually damage the country’s social fabric and the economy.
“We must reject efforts to attack DEI and instead champion policies that increase access to American Dream for every community,” he said. “This is not just a moral need – it is essential for the health of our economy and communities.
