⚖️Executive Order 14110 bans diversity training for 2 million federal employees

Executive Order 11246 (1965) required companies seeking federal contracts to maintain affirmative action programs, but Trump's elimination allows defense contractors, technology firms, and construction companies to abandon inclusive hiring without losing lucrative government business. Private discrimination becomes subsidized through taxpayer contracts.

Two million federal employees lose education about unconscious bias, systemic discrimination, and inclusive management techniques that prevented workplace harassment and discrimination. Federal supervisors gain freedom to make hiring and promotion decisions based on personal preferences rather than merit-based evaluation systems.

The June 2023 ruling against college affirmative action gave Trump administration legal precedent to challenge workplace diversity initiatives as reverse discrimination. Conservative legal activists exploit this momentum to dismantle decades of equal opportunity enforcement across government and private sector employment.

Eliminating diversity training and inclusive recruitment removes systems designed to counteract human tendencies toward hiring people similar to existing employees. Subjective evaluation processes inherently favor dominant demographic groups unless actively countered through awareness training and structural safeguards that the administration eliminates.
