President Trump’s executive order revokes Executive Order 11246, which has protected workers from discrimination since 1965. This move ends diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in government agencies and scrutinizes corporations and educational institutions.
Supporters argue it promotes a merit-based system, focusing on qualifications over identity and removing racial or gender preferences. Critics, however, fear it could reverse progress in fighting discrimination, especially for marginalized groups.
Opponents worry it will lead to more systemic inequities in hiring and promotions. Meanwhile, supporters believe it fosters fairness by eliminating preferential treatment.
The decision has caused significant backlash, with many concerned about its impact on minority groups, while others see it as a step toward a more equitable system.
Happy 70th Birthday to the one and only Reba McEntire, the queen of country music, born on this day in 1955. Just days ago, Reba joined forces with Trisha Yearwood at the Opry’s 100th birthday, delivering spine-tingling harmonies on a haunting murder ballad. If you haven’t seen it yet, buckle up — it’s pure magic.
