WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration is directing that all federal diversity, equity and inclusion staff be put on paid leave, and that agencies develop plans to lay them off, according to a memo Tuesday from the Office of Personnel Management.
I’d bet that nobody’s record states “DEI HIRE” so they’ll just purge all the women, minorities, and LGBTQ+ employees.
That’s not what it means. It doesn’t mean people hired party because of DEI. It means people who work in DEI departments or have DEI in their title. So, certain managers, HR people, etc. Not some random worker who may or may not have been hired party for DEI reasons.
