I don't think it was a honeypot—I think it was on the level during his first term. He was always a bigot, but having some minority supporters appealed to his ego.
The anti-DEI thing was whipped up by a propagandist (same one who weaponized "critical race theory") in about 2023. He signed on then.
They have attitudes that may infect other staff members and possibly interfere with the destruction of all DEI initiative, programmes and records in the Department
At least until it is abolished
You do what you’re supposed to or told by an employer to do and you get screwed. You disregard a training or class and you are screwed. There is no win here.
This just gets even more insane by the minute. Guess what they probably learned there? How to understand their own culture and respect different cultures. Whoop de do
I took diversity training years back because I wanted to be a BETTER public servant. It is in my records. I guess another ‘mistake’ I made that’ll likely support my termination. I can’t believe this is real life 😞.
Could there be any more transparent acknowledgment that Felon47 knows his best is less than what a person of color or a woman could do than re-instituting barriers that DEI programs were working to knock down.
That is so asinine. Putting them on paid leave, then Trump can turn around and say they are being paid and not working because they don't need DEI training, or it serves no purpose in education.
Alcindor was on a segment of NBC Nightly News tonight, but this was not covered. Putting this out online and not on the broadcast is close to the catch-and-kill stuff National Enquirer did for Trump.
Didn’t Betsy DeVos make millions on Trump’s parental separation of migrant children policy? Just seems weird to paint her as someone who supported DEI.
And "A letter to the affected employees obtained by NBC News said they would continue to receive their full salaries and benefits and wouldn't be required to do any work-related tasks." ... sounds like manufacturing waste, fraud and abuse!

Camouflaged as the Education Secretary.
Republicans made it easy for Putin with their #Project2025 & Elon's #DOGE.

Maybe they are caterpillars.
in the eyes of actual human beings.
We are at the precipice now. Once we cross the Rubicon, there is no return.
The danger is real but the sacrifice is worth saving our nation and its people from a catastrophic dismantling of our very foundation.
I knew it!!
Welcome to the kakistocracy, folks.
Speechwriter fired in first Trump term for attending white nationalists rally handed State Department job
Cutting out waste, my ass.
Are we trusting that they’ll get the follow through that Twitter employees didn’t?
We’ll see if the Department of Education fairs better than USAID.
