BOMBSHELL: Trump Nukes LBJ's 1965 Executive Order Establishing 'Affirmative Action'

Trump's Executive Order is a “seismic shift and a complete change in the focus and direction of the federal government.”

America is two days into a new presidency, but it feels like there has already been more change brought to the U.S. government than anyone could have anticipated.

President Donald J. Trump has gone further to eliminate DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) and race-and-gender-based government policy than any modern president.

Trump foreshadowed the monumental shift in his inaugural address.

"This week, I will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life," Trump said.

"We will forge a society that is color blind and merit-based. ... As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female," he added.

On Tuesday, Donald Trump followed through with his pledge. He issued an executive order to terminate former President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Executive Order 11246, which established affirmative action in the federal government.

Anyone who has spent time in a corporate office is aware of affirmative action in part because of the posting of such rules at the H.R. department or even at the office water cooler.

The affirmative action guidelines’ most critical passage:

The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided by the contracting officer setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.

While the 1965 executive action may appear to be harmless on its face, it has been interpreted to justify racial and gender quotas that undermine merit-based hiring and firing.

Trump’s executive order was not yet posted online at the White House website, but the full text and analysis is provided below.
