(Keystone-ATS) This large-scale dismissal of federal employees responsible for fighting discrimination within the state apparatus intervenes on the fifth day of the second term of the American president Donald Trump, who in the same day took a series of anti- abortion.
All the branches of the American federal state “must take measures to end, to the extent permitted by law, offices and jobs” responsible for promoting diversity and environmental justice “by 60 days”, notes A note from the ministry responsible for civil servants published on Friday.
This constitutes one more step, after the decision on Wednesday to place on forced leave all employees working within the federal administration in Deia programs (diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility). From now on, federal agencies “can and must” begin “now” the process of dismissal of these officials.
-Two sexes
The term “Dei” or “Deia”, which in the vocabulary of human resources means the recruitment efforts of people from racial or sexual minorities, has become one of the scarecrows of the American hard right.
During the campaign, the Trumpists attacked the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, black woman and Indian origin, saying that the former vice-president was a “recruitment ofi”, that is to say, in the implied that ‘She had only been chosen for her identity and not for her qualities.
In addition to the Dei programs, the instructions on Friday now include environmental justice.
This expression corresponding “to the right treatment and the real involvement of all, whatever his income, his race, his skin color, his nationality, his tribal affiliation or his handicap” in decision -making within the federal government “From what relates to health and the environment”, according to a definition of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency, the EPA, which has so far had a dedicated branch.
From the first day in power on Monday, Donald Trump promised to sweep policies in favor of transgender people, saying that the United States would only recognize “two sexes, male and female”.
The 47th President of the United States thus confirmed, as hammered throughout its electoral campaign, its desire to attack that part of the American conservatives consider excess of diversity and inclusion programs minorities.
