Rep. Michael Cloud (R-TX) and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) introduced a bill to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in the federal government.

The wide-ranging Dismantle DEI Act was co-sponsored by 20 other Republicans in Congress. If passed, it would not only eliminate DEI programs in the federal government but also would rescind executive orders based around DEI from President Joe Biden, end DEI training, outlaw mandatory employee DEI pledges, prevent the awarding of federal contracts to entities that employ DEI practices, and prevent educational accreditation agencies from leveraging their position to push DEI policies in education institutions, among other measures.
