Trump Admin ORDERS Federal Websites To REMOVE All DEI Content

The Trump administration’s pause on federal website content concerning Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion brought extensive changes and reactions.

At a Glance

  • The Trump administration instructed federal agencies to remove “gender ideology” from various official communications.
  • Public health data, such as information on contraception and HIV, was temporarily removed from federal websites.
  • The directive aimed to dismantle DEI programs and redefine gender strictly as male or female.
  • The pause on websites was part of a broader strategy to align government operations with Trump administration policies.

Changes Initiated by Executive Order

Under President Trump’s Executive Order, federal agencies faced mandates to remove DEI-related content from websites. The instruction encompassed removing language and data perceived as supporting gender ideology.

According to Fox News, the Executive Order mandated the U.S. government to “only recognize two genders: male and female,” President Donald Trump stated.

The government is finally sane again.

The impact of the order was widespread, affecting numerous federal websites, including the CDC, where certain sources of health data went temporarily offline. Employees were directed to remove gender pronouns from email signatures, reflecting the administration’s efforts to standardize communications.

Multiple platforms were affected: significant information on public health, including CDC’s guidance on transgender topics, disappeared. Ongoing efforts require compliance with Trump’s instructions, causing temporary shutdowns of website sections. The actions signaled a clear policy stance against DEI initiatives, emphasizing “biological truth,” as expressed in multiple official communications.

Amid these changes, employees were urged to put DEI initiatives on hold, aligning work with the redefined federal policies on gender and equality. Websites, such as those from the National Parks Service and State Department, went dark to follow the administration’s directives.

As the federal landscape adapts, many websites have begun restoring content following policy evaluations – without the DEI!
