The Ford School's Don Moynihan spoke with The Daily Beast and commented on the removal of government history from various agency websites, specifically targeting topics involving DEI or POC and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. "It's this sort of deliberate erasure of specific figures from American history and the only category or group that is spared from this erasure seems to be white men like me." Moynihan added, "This is tied to President Trump's anti-DEI executive order where the President wants any trace of what he thinks of as DEI removed from the federal government. And that is sort of a very broad category of stuff... In cases of the Department of Education, employees who went to DEI training were put on administrative leave and potentially fired."
