Trump seeks a return to America's racist roots -- and he's moving fast
The Trump administration is fighting against diversity, equity and inclusion and for a return to extreme racial exclusion, inequality and white supremacy.
This was evident from the first few weeks of his presidency, when President Trump adopted a series of executive orders and guidance seeking to end affirmative action, eliminate efforts to address discriminatory hiring practices in the federal government, and to no longer prohibit segregation for government contractors.
We have also seen orders to abolish programs that ensure equity and address racial disparities in such areas as health care, and to ban books and other materials that honestly discuss race in American history from K-12 education, higher education, the military, and even archives held at the Smithsonian.
One recent effort by the Trump administration designed to exacerbate racial inequality and exclusion in American schools that should not be overlooked is last month’s executive order that claims to remove equity from school discipline. The order seeks to undo policies from former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden that reminded schools of their duty under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, to ensure that discipline guidance and practices do not exclude students based on race or result in disparate punishment of students of color.
