Summary

The Trump administration removed a federal contract clause banning segregated facilities, part of an executive order repealing a 1965 nondiscrimination rule.

The change, implemented without public notice, affects agencies like Defense and Homeland Security. While segregation remains illegal under the Civil Rights Act, legal experts warn the move is symbolically significant and undermines civil rights protections.

Some speculate the provision was targeted due to Obama-era gender identity protections.

Critics say the rushed process bypassed democratic procedures, raising concerns about broader federal policy shifts.

    So… what happens now that there are more multiracial children and couples more than ever? More non-white individuals than before? The shift in acceptance has changed so much, even from the 90s.

        Ugh, I am having flashbacks of when my grandma talked about the one drop rule… She told us stories of what it was like being black in the 1950s. I just can’t imagine the public letting things go back to that point, but with the insanity I’ve been seeing…
