    The Smithsonian Institution is closing its diversity office and freezing all federal hiring. The decision will affect dozens of American museums, research centers and libraries, as well as the National Zoo.

    “Our Institution is fully committed to excellence in our workforce, free from discrimination and harassment,” wrote a Smithsonian Institution spokesperson in an email to NPR. “We are closing our Office of Diversity but retaining our efforts at visitor accessibility as it serves a critical function.”

    The move to eliminate the Office of Diversity comes in the wake of an executive order from President Trump that describes diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, or DEI, as “illegal and immoral.” The Smithsonian is not a federal agency. But much of its billion dollar budget comes from federal appropriations. Two-thirds of its nearly 6,500 employees are federal workers. They will be expected to return to the office in April, according to the Smithsonian spokesperson.

    Nearly 17 million people visited Smithsonian museums in Washington D.C., Virginia and New York last year. The most popular include the National Museum of Natural History and National Air and Space Museum on the National Mall in Washington.

    Entrance to the museums has been entirely free since the Institution’s founding in 1846, with the exception of the Cooper Hewitt, the Smithsonian’s design museum in New York. The question of charging for admission has come up repeatedly under various administrations, but rejected, in part, because of concerns about political backlash.

    Numerous corporations have eliminated DEI initiatives since the executive order was released. Last week, the National Gallery of Art – which, like the Smithsonian, also receives funding from the federal government – also eliminated its office of belonging and inclusion, as well as mentions of DEI from its website.



    In a surprising turn of events, the Smithsonian Institution announced today that it will be closing its diversity office following President Trump’s recent executive order. The executive order, which aims to eliminate all diversity and inclusion training in federal agencies, has sparked controversy and backlash across the country.

    The Smithsonian’s diversity office was responsible for promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within the institution and ensuring that all employees and visitors felt welcome and valued. The closure of the office has raised concerns about the future of diversity initiatives within the Smithsonian and the impact it will have on the institution’s employees and visitors.

    Critics of the executive order argue that it is a step backwards in the fight for equality and inclusion, and that it will only serve to further divide and marginalize marginalized communities. They believe that diversity and inclusion are essential components of a healthy and thriving society, and that efforts to dismantle these initiatives will only lead to more discrimination and inequality.

    As the Smithsonian prepares to close its diversity office, many are left wondering what the future holds for diversity and inclusion within the institution. Will other organizations follow suit and abandon their diversity initiatives, or will they stand up and fight for equality and justice for all? Only time will tell.

  • Target retreats from diversity goals


    Target is concluding some of its programs devoted to diversity and inclusion and will no longer participate in any external demographic surveys.

    The Minneapolis-based retailer also said in a Friday news release it is changing the focus of its “supplier diversity” team to “supplier engagement.”

    Target maintains, however, that it is still committed to diversity across the organization.

    The company had increased its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion after the police murder of George Floyd in 2020, which happened in the same city as the retailer’s headquarters. Five years later, it’s stepping back from some of those initiatives while saying having a diverse workforce and products are still part of its business strategy.

    “We remain focused on driving our business by creating a sense of belonging for our team, guests and communities through a commitment to inclusion,” the retailer said in a statement. “Belonging for all is an essential part of our team and culture, helping fuel consumer relevance and business results.”

    The company said its business strategy will still include recruiting and retaining team members “who represent the communities” Target serves and “fuel a culture where everyone has access to opportunity and growth, enabling [the] team to deliver business results.”

    Several large companies also have pulled back from diversity, equity and inclusion goals as President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at ending DEI programs across the federal government. Per the Associated Press, that included revoking all DEI mandates, policies, preferences and activities, along with the review and revision of existing employment practices, union contracts, and training policies or programs.

    Walmart, McDonald’s , Ford, Harley-Davidson and John Deere are some brands that have scaled back DEI commitments in recent months. Costco, however, reaffirmed its commitment.



    Target, one of the largest retail chains in the United States, has recently announced that they are retreating from their diversity goals. In a surprising move, the company stated that they will no longer be actively pursuing diversity and inclusion initiatives within their organization.

    This decision comes as a shock to many, as Target has been known for its efforts to promote diversity and equality in the workplace. In recent years, the company has implemented programs to increase the representation of women and people of color in leadership positions, as well as initiatives to support LGBTQ+ employees.

    However, despite these efforts, Target has now chosen to scale back on their diversity goals, citing a need to focus on other priorities within the company. This decision has sparked backlash from employees and customers alike, who have expressed disappointment and frustration with the company’s change in direction.

    Many are questioning the implications of Target’s retreat from diversity goals, and what this means for the company’s commitment to creating an inclusive work environment. As the conversation around diversity and inclusion continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how Target’s decision will impact its reputation and relationships with employees and customers.

  • Target is ending its diversity goals as a strong DEI opponent occupies the White House


    NEW YORK (AP) — Discount store chain Target said Friday that it would join rival Walmart and a number of other prominent American brands in scaling back diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives that have come under attack from conservative activists and, as of this week, the White House.

    The Minneapolis-based retailer said the changes to its “Belonging at the Bulleye” strategy would include ending a program it established to help Black employees build meaningful careers, improve the experience of Black shoppers and to promote Black-owned businesses following the police killing of George Floyd in 2020.

    Target, which operates nearly 2,000 stores nationwide and employs more than 400,000 people, said it also would conclude the diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, goals it previously set in three-year cycles.

    The goals included hiring and promoting more women and members of racial minority groups, and recruiting more diverse suppliers, including businesses owned by people of color, women, LGBTQ+ people, veterans and people with disabilities.

    In a memo to employees, Kiera Fernandez, Target’s chief community impact and equity officer, as a “next chapter” in a decades-long process to create “inclusive work and guest environments that welcome all.”

    “Many years of data, insights, listening and learning have been shaping this next chapter in our strategy,” Fernandez wrote in the memo, which Target shared Friday. “And as a retailer that serves millions of consumers every day, we understand the importance of staying in step with the evolving external landscape, now and in the future.”

    There’s no doubt the U.S. civil rights landscape has undergone a massive transformation in the five years since much of corporate America adopted DEI goals in response to the Black Lives Matter protests that followed Floyd’s death in Minneapolis.

    A 2023 U.S. Supreme Court decision that outlawed affirmative action in college admissions emboldened conservative groups to bring or threaten lawsuits targeting corporate initiatives such as employee resource groups and hiring practices that prioritize historically marginalized groups.

    Walmart, McDonald’s , Ford, Harley-Davison and John Deere are among the well-known consumer brands that reduced or phased out their DEI commitments in recent months.

    President Donald Trump this week signaled his administration’s agreement with conservatives who argue that policies designed to increase minority representation by considering factors such as race, gender and sexual orientation are unconstitutional.

    On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order aimed at ending DEI programs across the federal government. The order calls for revoking all DEI mandates, policies, preferences and activities, along with the review and revision of existing employment practices, union contracts, and training policies or programs.

    Unlike some of the companies retooling or retiring their diversity initiatives, Target’s work to build a more inclusive workforce predated 2020, and the company also was long seen as a trailblazer with respect to LGBTQ+ inclusion.

    But the employee memo shared Friday said Target no longer would participate in surveys designed to gauge the effectiveness of its actions, including an annual index compiled by the Human Rights Campaign, a national LGBTQ+ rights organization. Target said it would further evaluate corporate partnerships to ensure they’re connected directly to business objectives, but declined to share details.

    Getting corporations to withdraw from the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index and to stop sponsoring Pride activities have been goals of DEI opponents.

    Steering clear of a backlash from conservative customers and organizations is something that Target has tried to navigate for a while. As transgender rights became a more prominent issue in 2016, the company declared that “inclusivity is a core belief at Target” and said it supported transgender employees and customers using whichever restroom or fitting room “corresponds with their gender identity.”

    But after some customers threatened to boycott Target stores, the company said that more stores would make available a single-toilet bathroom with a door that could be locked.

    In 2023, Target removed some of its Pride Month merchandise after online complaints and in-store confrontations that the retailer said threatened employees’ well-being. The company decided last year not to stock Pride Month products at every U.S. store.

    Still, some prominent companies have resisted public pressure to retreat from their diversity plans. On Thursday, Costco shareholders rejected a proposal urging the wholesale club operator to evaluate any risks posed by its diversity, equity and inclusion practices.

    According to preliminary results shared by Costco executives, more than 98% of shares voted against the proposal submitted by a conservative think tank based in Washington. Costco’s board of directors had recommended a no vote.





    Target, one of the largest retail corporations in the United States, has announced that it will be ending its diversity goals in light of a new administration in the White House that is seen as a strong opponent of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

    This decision comes as a blow to many employees and advocates who have been pushing for greater diversity and representation within the company. Target had previously set forth ambitious goals to increase the number of women and people of color in leadership positions, as well as to improve overall diversity and inclusion within the company.

    However, with the new administration in power, Target has decided to shift its focus away from these goals, citing a desire to align with the current political climate. This move has sparked backlash from employees and customers who believe that diversity and inclusion should be a top priority for all companies, regardless of political changes.

    As a major player in the retail industry, Target’s decision to abandon its diversity goals sends a troubling message to other companies and organizations that are committed to DEI efforts. It serves as a reminder that progress towards a more diverse and inclusive workplace can be easily derailed by political shifts and external pressures.

    It is important for companies to remain steadfast in their commitment to diversity and inclusion, regardless of external influences. By continuing to prioritize DEI initiatives, companies like Target can help create a more equitable and inclusive society for all.

  • Trump to sign executive orders proclaiming there are only two biological sexes, halting diversity programs


    President-elect Donald Trump plans to sign executive orders proclaiming that the U.S. government will recognize only two sexes, male and female, and ending “radical and wasteful” diversity, equity and inclusion programs inside federal agencies, according to senior White House officials.

    The White House officials grouped both orders under the incoming Trump administration’s wider “restoring sanity” agenda. The orders were detailed by an incoming official on a phone call Monday ahead of Trump’s swearing-in ceremony inside the Capitol Rotunda.

    The official presented the gender order as part of a policy “defending women from gender ideology extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government.”

    The order aims to require that the federal government use the term “sex” instead of “gender,” and mandates that Cabinet secretaries “ensure that official government documents, including passports and visas, reflect sex accurately.”

    The order will also prevent taxpayer funds from being used for gender-transition health care and add “privacy in intimidate spaces” in facilities such as prisons, migrant shelters and rape shelters.

    Trump campaigned on rolling back protections for transgender people and emphasized the issue in television advertisements, including a commercial that aired frequently in key swing states such as Pennsylvania.

    The second order detailed by the incoming White House official aims to end “radical and wasteful government DEI programs and preferencing” inside the federal government. 

    The official said the new administration will hold monthly meetings with the deputy secretaries of key agencies to “assess what type of DEI programs are still discriminating against Americans and figure out ways to end them.”

    In recent years, Trump and conservatives have assailed DEI initiatives across American society, characterizing them as discriminatory. 

    In the weeks leading up to Trump’s return to power, major corporations such as Meta, McDonald’s and Walmart have announced they are ending some or all of their diversity practices.

    Trump is set to take office at 12 p.m. ET Monday.

    In a shocking move, President Trump is set to sign a series of executive orders that will proclaim there are only two biological sexes, male and female, and halt diversity programs in government agencies and institutions.

    This controversial decision is sure to spark outrage among LGBTQ+ advocates and supporters of diversity and inclusion. It is a clear attempt to roll back progress made in recognizing and protecting the rights of transgender and non-binary individuals.

    By denying the existence of more than two biological sexes, the Trump administration is perpetuating harmful stereotypes and erasing the experiences of countless individuals who do not fit within the traditional gender binary.

    Furthermore, halting diversity programs will only serve to further entrench systemic inequalities and discrimination in our society. These programs are essential in promoting equal opportunities for marginalized communities and fostering a more inclusive and equitable workplace.

    It is crucial that we stand up against these discriminatory and regressive policies and continue to fight for the rights and dignity of all individuals, regardless of their gender identity or expression. Let your voice be heard and join the fight for a more just and inclusive society. #ProtectTransRights #DiversityMatters

  • The Evolution and Diversity of Jujutsu Infinite Clans

    The Evolution and Diversity of Jujutsu Infinite Clans


    Jujutsu, the ancient Japanese martial art, has a long and storied history dating back centuries. Over time, various clans and schools have emerged, each with its own unique techniques and philosophies. The evolution and diversity of Jujutsu Infinite Clans is a fascinating study in the development of martial arts.

    The origins of Jujutsu can be traced back to the samurai warriors of feudal Japan. These warriors needed a way to defend themselves in close combat situations where swords and other weapons were not practical. Thus, Jujutsu was born, focusing on using an opponent’s force against them and utilizing joint locks, throws, and strikes to subdue an attacker.

    As Jujutsu spread throughout Japan, different regions developed their own styles and techniques. This led to the formation of various clans, each with its own unique approach to the martial art. Some clans focused on grappling and ground fighting, while others emphasized striking and weapon techniques.

    One of the most well-known Jujutsu clans is the Gracie family, who pioneered Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Helio Gracie, one of the founding members of the Gracie clan, developed a modified version of traditional Jujutsu that emphasized leverage and technique over strength and size. This approach revolutionized the martial arts world and laid the foundation for modern mixed martial arts (MMA) competition.

    Another prominent Jujutsu clan is the Kodokan, which was founded by Jigoro Kano in the late 19th century. Kano sought to create a more structured and organized form of Jujutsu, which eventually evolved into the modern martial art of Judo. The Kodokan’s emphasis on discipline, respect, and self-improvement has made it one of the most widely practiced martial arts in the world.

    In addition to the Gracie and Kodokan clans, there are countless other Jujutsu clans and schools around the world, each with its own unique techniques and philosophies. Some focus on self-defense and practical applications, while others emphasize competition and sport. Despite these differences, all Jujutsu clans share a common goal of developing effective and efficient martial arts techniques.

    The evolution and diversity of Jujutsu Infinite Clans is a testament to the adaptability and creativity of martial arts practitioners. By studying and learning from different clans and schools, martial artists can broaden their knowledge and skills, ultimately becoming more well-rounded and versatile fighters. Whether you are interested in self-defense, competition, or personal development, there is a Jujutsu clan out there for you.

    The Arctic is home to a diverse array of wildlife, with animals adapted to survive in the harsh and unforgiving conditions of the polar regions. Among the most iconic of these creatures are the Arctic grey animals, which are uniquely adapted to thrive in the icy landscapes of the far north.

    One of the most well-known Arctic grey animals is the Arctic fox. These small, agile predators are well-suited to life in the Arctic, with thick fur coats that help them withstand the cold temperatures. Arctic foxes are also adept hunters, preying on small mammals, birds, and insects to sustain themselves in the harsh environment.

    Another Arctic grey animal that is commonly found in the polar regions is the beluga whale. These stunning creatures are known for their striking white coloration, which helps them blend in with the icy waters of the Arctic. Beluga whales are highly social animals, living in pods that can consist of dozens of individuals. They are also known for their distinctive vocalizations, which have earned them the nickname “sea canaries.”

    In addition to the Arctic fox and beluga whale, there are many other grey animals that call the Arctic home. These include species such as the Arctic hare, the Arctic wolf, and the snowy owl. Each of these animals has evolved unique adaptations to help them survive in the extreme conditions of the polar regions, from camouflaged fur coats to specialized hunting techniques.

    Exploring the diversity of Arctic grey animals is not only a fascinating endeavor but also an important one for conservation efforts. As climate change continues to impact the Arctic, these animals face increasing threats to their survival. By studying and understanding these creatures, we can better protect them and ensure that they continue to thrive in their icy habitats for generations to come.

    In conclusion, the Arctic is a treasure trove of biodiversity, with a wide variety of grey animals that have evolved to thrive in the polar regions. From the nimble Arctic fox to the majestic beluga whale, these creatures are a testament to the resilience and adaptability of life in the far north. By appreciating and protecting these animals, we can help ensure that the Arctic remains a vibrant and diverse ecosystem for years to come.

    In our latest research paper, “Teacher Diversity and Student Success: Why Racial Representation Matters,” we delve into the importance of having a diverse pool of teachers in schools and how it directly impacts student achievement.

    Studies have shown that students who have teachers who look like them and share similar cultural backgrounds tend to perform better academically. This is because these students are able to see themselves reflected in their teachers and feel a sense of belonging in the classroom.

    Furthermore, diverse teachers bring a variety of perspectives and experiences to the table, which can help create a more inclusive and equitable learning environment for all students. This can lead to improved outcomes for students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds.

    Despite the benefits of teacher diversity, the teaching profession in the United States remains largely homogenous. Only around 20% of teachers identify as people of color, while students of color make up more than half of the student population.

    It is crucial that we work towards increasing the diversity of teachers in our schools in order to provide all students with the support and representation they need to succeed. This means implementing policies and practices that promote diversity in teacher recruitment, hiring, and retention.

    By prioritizing teacher diversity, we can help create a more equitable and inclusive education system that sets all students up for success. Let’s work together to make this a reality.
