The first 100 days of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, were marked by an attack on diversity and inclusion efforts, canceling the policies of decades to remedy the historical injustices of groups marginalized in a few weeks.
In his second term, Trump revoked the 1965 historical decree which determined equal job opportunities for everyone, reduced environmental actions to protect the color communities and ordered the elimination of an agency that has contributed to financing minority and women companies.
By arguing that the initiatives of diversity, equity and inclusion (gods) that have become popular in the last two decades are, in themselves, discriminatory and suffocate the merit, the Trump government has also canceled the government contracts which, according to him, were connected to “illegal”, dealt with the closed offices that dealt with the violations of civil rights and the Raid Research studies Frozen in the area of the health area of the health of the health. Health.
The actions alarmed activists, who claim to effectively eliminate decades of progress in hard feathers to level the field of action of the marginalized communities.
Hector Sanchez Barba, president and executive president of Mi Familia Vota, an organization belonging that mobilizes Latin voters, criticized the guidelines as a “white supremacy agenda”.
“He is attacking the pillars that maintain and support our democracy – he is returning to a horrible history of exclusion of minority of many spaces in our society,” said Sanchez Barba.
The White House did not respond to a commentary request. Trump had previously denied the accusations of having used racist attacks and an agenda during his political career. The government’s graduate authorities have defended the elimination of the initiatives of Dei, claiming that they are discriminatory by nature.
“The reaction against Dei’s policies was the result of a perception, which I think was based on reality, that excessive attention to the race and the use of a racial lens to see almost everything was a distortion,” said William Jacobson, professor of law at Cornell.
A decree signed by Trump on his first day in office eliminated all the directors of the diversity of the federal government, interrupted the programs to remove discriminatory barriers and closed contracts relating to the formation of racial sensitivity – initiatives described as “immoral”.
The refusal of the Gods is part of the wider effort of Trump to create a more authoritarian structure in the United States, says Lawrence Rosenthal, president of the right -wing study center of the University of California in Berkeley: “Move both institutions and processes established by the United States government”.
Censorship of the curriculum
The education was one of the main objectives of the government’s efforts to end the programs of Dei.
The government has threatened to revoke the federal funding of schools and universities involved in the practices of the, although the judges blocked this effort last week. The Department of Education also warned, in a letter in March that could face financial penalties or causes.
The workforce of the Department of Education was half and seven of its 12 civil rights offices, investigating the complaints ranging from racial harassment to accessibility for students with disabilities.
“We are thinking about the complaints that they will not do justice or, if they are lucky to obtain justice, perhaps to obtain it only over the years,” said Terre Gonzales, head of the lawyer at the Dallas OCR office.
He was abruptly placed under administrative license on January 31, after 14 years there, and the connection of his position with the gods was mentioned as a reason for his resignation.
“I felt like the carpet was completely pulled below me,” said Gonzales.
