Ban on segregated facilities removed from federal contracts

After a recent change by the Trump administration, the federal government no longer explicitly prohibits contractors from having segregated restaurants, waiting rooms and drinking fountains.

The segregation clause is one of several identified in a public memo issued by the General Services Administration last month, affecting all civil federal agencies. The memo explains that it is making changes prompted by President Trump's executive order on diversity, equity and inclusion, which repealed an executive order signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965 regarding federal contractors and nondiscrimination. The memo also addresses Trump's executive order on gender identity.

If Trump brings back that "one drop of blood" criterion for establishing race. a lot of people here who identify as white are going to be awfully surprised.

Now to what purpose was this change made? Why would someone decide that after 60-years that this clause needed to be removed from federally funded contracts? Who is going to benefit from this change?

Apparently NOT having segregated facilities, like rest rooms and water fountains, is violating Trump's ban on anything that he perceives as being DEI related.

BTW, this revoked an executive order signed by LBJ in 1965.
