In order to combat the scourge of “DEI,” the DOJ yesterday indefinitely suspended observance of events like Black History Month, Women’s History Month and other long observed (and one would imagine fairly innocuous) commemorations.
The details are as follows.
Yesterday as part of the implementation of Trump’s anti-DEI executive order and the related anti-DEI guidance memorandum from the Office of Personal Management, the Executive Office of United States Attorneys immediately “suspend[ed] observance programs until further notice” and advised regional U.S. Attorneys Offices that “we believe it would also be prudent for the USAOs to suspend all observance events at this time.”
For what it’s worth, Black History Month isn’t something that BLM activists came up with. President Gerald Ford recognized February in 1976 and Congress passed a law designating February as National Black History Month in 1986.
The news was contained in a circular email sent to all U.S. Attorney’s Offices and shared with TPM.
In a shocking move that has sparked outrage and disbelief, the Department of Justice has announced the suspension of Black History Month and Women’s History Month in an effort to combat what they refer to as the “woke” agenda.
The decision, which was made public in a memo sent out to all employees, states that the recognition and celebration of these important cultural and historical milestones are no longer in line with the department’s values. Instead, the DOJ will be focusing on promoting a more “neutral” and “unbiased” approach to diversity and inclusion.
Critics have condemned the move as a blatant attempt to erase the contributions and struggles of Black and women activists throughout history. Many have pointed out that Black History Month and Women’s History Month are crucial opportunities to educate and raise awareness about the ongoing fight for equality and justice.
The decision has sparked widespread backlash on social media, with many calling for the immediate reinstatement of these important observances. Some have even launched online campaigns and petitions to protest the DOJ’s decision.
As we continue to navigate through a tumultuous political and social climate, it is vital that we stand in solidarity with marginalized communities and amplify their voices. The attempt to erase Black History Month and Women’s History Month only serves to further marginalize these communities and reinforce systemic inequalities.
It is up to us to resist and fight back against such harmful and regressive actions. Let us continue to celebrate and honor the legacies of Black and women activists, both past and present, and work towards a more inclusive and just society for all. #BlackHistoryMonth #WomensHistoryMonth #JusticeForAll
