Sen. JD Vance and Rep. Michael Cloud lead the legislative effort to ban diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives across federal agencies and contractors.
- The bill, introduced by Sen. JD Vance and Rep. Michael Cloud, aims to eliminate DEI programs in federal government and contractors.
- It would prevent federal grants from funding DEI initiatives and bar accreditation agencies from requiring DEI in schools.
- The legislation targets a broad range of DEI practices, including training sessions, advisory committees, and executive orders.
- Supporters argue the bill is necessary to stop divisive policies and restore merit-based practices in government institutions.
- Opponents warn that the bill could undermine efforts to promote diversity and inclusion in various sectors.
