“At least 50 employees at the Education Department have been put on leave in recent days after President Donald Trump ordered federal agencies to eliminate all positions related to diversity, equity and inclusion,” the Washington Post reports.
“But almost none of them worked in jobs directly related to DEI, according to union officials and interviews with affected workers.
”“Instead, most all were involved in some sort of DEI initiative in the past, such as diversity training, an affinity group, or other programs inside the department aimed at creating a more inclusive workplace.”
