Ban critical race theory training in the federal government
What the document says“Issue an executive order banning, and Congress should pass a law prohibiting the federal government from using taxpayer dollars to fund, all critical race theory training”
The chapter states that under what it calls a diversity, equity and inclusion revolution every aspect of labor policy became a vehicle to advance race and sex classifications and to discriminate against conservative and religious viewpoints, and says the next Administration should eliminate every one of those projects.
What the document actually says“Issue an executive order banning, and Congress should pass a law prohibiting the federal government from using taxpayer dollars to fund, all critical race theory training”
Sign an order banning this training. Have Congress pass a law too.
Some workplace training deals with race and history. The book calls it critical race theory. It says no public money should pay for it.
Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing
2025-01-20 · 90 FR 8339
Executive Order 14151 of January 20, 2025 has the Director of the Office of Personnel Management review and revise all existing federal employment practices, union contracts, and training policies or programs to comply with the order, directs each agency head within 60 days to terminate to the maximum extent allowed by law all diversity, equity and inclusion mandates, policies, programs, preferences and activities and all such performance requirements for employees, contractors or grantees, and requires each agency to report the federal contractors that have provided such training or training materials to its employees. That is an executive order ending the federal government's use of taxpayer money for training of the kind the passage names. The fit breaks down in that the order works through the diversity, equity and inclusion label and does not use the term critical race theory or define a body of ideas to be banned, it directs termination and review rather than stating a prohibition, and the second half of the passage, a law from Congress prohibiting the spending, is not in the indexed record.
The order tells the staffing agency to redo training rules. Each agency has 60 days to end DEI programs. Each must also report firms that gave such training. That cuts off federal money for the training the book names. But it works through the DEI label and never uses the term critical race theory. The law from Congress that the book asked for is not in the record.

Each of these names the order above in its own summary, preamble or filing. That is a fact about the document, not a finding that it carries out this proposal: it is one step further away than the order is, and what it does about the proposal is a reading nobody has made here.
