In late September, President Trump signed Executive Order 13950 banning companies that receive federal grants or federal contractors from training their employees on certain diversity related topics—including privilege, implicit bias, and structural sexism or racism—that were deemed ‘unamerican’ by his administration.
The NAACP, the National Urban League, and the National Fair Housing Alliance filed suit in federal court on October 27th, challenging the September order as violating the free speech clause of the constitution.
At Lázaro Law Group, we believe in the power of diversity training to make the workplace a welcoming, safe place, where all team members feel valued.
