President Donald Trump’s recent executive order to revoke Executive Order 11246, which has protected workers from discrimination since 1965, has sparked intense debate. The revocation dismantles diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs within government agencies and places scrutiny on large corporations and educational institutions. While supporters argue that this move promotes a merit-based system free from racial or gender preferences, critics fear it will reverse decades of progress in combating workplace discrimination, particularly for marginalized groups. Advocates for DEI warn that the removal of these protections may lead to systemic inequities in hiring and career advancement, while some believe the order could foster a more equitable system by focusing on qualifications rather than identity. The decision has resulted in significant backlash from public figures, with many expressing concern over potential negative impacts on minority groups, while others argue it ensures fairness by eliminating preferential treatment.
