Trump Executive Order Bans Federal Diversity Training on Systemic Racism

President Trump signed Executive Order 13950, prohibiting federal agencies and contractors from conducting diversity trainings that include concepts such as white privilege, systemic racism, or unconscious bias. Companies with federal contracts canceled trainings. A federal judge blocked enforcement for contractors in November 2020. Biden revoked the order on his first day in office. The order's language directly shaped subsequent state anti-CRT legislation.
