The Trump administration's three executive orders targeting diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) initiatives take a "shock and awe" approach that upends longstanding, bipartisan federal policy meant to open doors that had been unfairly closed. In his first few days, President Donald Trump is undertaking a deliberate effort to obfuscate and weaponize civil rights laws that address discrimination and ensure everyone has a fair chance to compete, whether it's for a job, a promotion, or an education.
More broadly, the orders seek to intimidate all employers -- ranging from private organizations and federal contractors and grantees to state and local entities -- into abandoning DEIA initiatives, using vague and threatening language to create fear of enforcement actions. The strategy is clear: Bully everyone into dropping programs that ensure equitable workplaces by falsely equating diversity efforts with discrimination.
