Trump Admin Removes DEI Content from Federal Websites

The Trump administration has initiated a comprehensive effort to remove references to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) from federal government websites, aligning with executive orders aimed at limiting transgender rights and DEI initiatives. This directive includes altering language related to gender and removing certain public health data, resulting in some webpages going offline temporarily. The Department of Education and Health and Human Services have removed references to 'gender identity' and 'pregnant people' respectively, reverting to more traditional language. Additionally, multiple health and nonprofit organizations receiving federal funding have been instructed to comply with these changes, which include removing pronouns from email signatures and modifying or eliminating DEI-related programs. Notably, the Office of Personnel Management has mandated that 'gender ideology' be removed from all government communications. The initiative has also led to intermittent outages of websites like the U.S. Census Bureau and the CDC, impacting access to important public health information.
