Business Groups Urge President Trump to Withdraw Order on Diversity Training
More than 150 business and nonprofit groups, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, are asking President Trump to withdraw his executive order that puts a limit on some diversity training. The group stressed that the executive order creates confusion, leads to unnecessary investigations and hinders employers from combating workplace discrimination.The executive order, issued on Sept. 22, prohibits federal agencies, companies with federal contracts and recipients of federal grants from participating in training that “promotes race or sex-stereotyping or scapegoating.”
