President Trump has issued an executive order banning all training based on Critical Race Theory (CRT) for those who work with the federal government, labeling such ideas "destructive." This follows soon after a presidential memo sought to bar these practices from government agencies. Although CRT is not mentioned by name, the implications are clear: no more race division at the taxpayers' expense.
As is his wont, the president announced the new order via his preferred channel, tweeting:
"A few weeks ago, I BANNED efforts to indoctrinate government employees with divisive and harmful sex and race-based ideologies. Today, I've expanded that ban to people and companies that do business ... with our Country, the United States Military, Government Contractors, and Grantees. Americans should be taught to take PRIDE in our Great Country, and if you don't, there's nothing in it for you!"
Legal Ramifications
In his EO, the president made a case that such "training" undermines existing statutes:"Our Federal civil service system is based on merit principles. These principles, codified at 5 U.S.C. 2301, call for all employees to 'receive fair and equitable treatment in all aspects of personnel management without regard to' race or sex 'and with proper regard for their ... constitutional rights.' Instructing Federal employees that treating individuals on the basis of individual merit is racist or sexist directly undermines our Merit System Principles and impairs the efficiency of the Federal service."

"The contractor shall not use any workplace training that inculcates in its employees any form of race or sex stereotyping or any form of race or sex scapegoating."What this means in practice is that there will be no more disparaging of people based upon their color or sex and that to insist otherwise through any form of Critical Race Theory training would be tantamount to a form of racism or sexism itself.
