Summary
Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered the DOJ to investigate private companies for DEI programs, potentially pursuing criminal charges.
Citing the 2023 Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action, she argues DEI initiatives violate anti-discrimination laws. The directive targets large corporations, nonprofits, and universities, with reports due by March 1.
Legal experts warn this move likely violates First Amendment protections, as courts have upheld employers’ rights to promote diversity.
Civil rights groups are expected to challenge the policy, setting up a major legal battle for the administration.
Thank fuck they’re doing something about egg prices.
