Government Executive: A trio of groups has filed a lawsuit seeking to block the Trump administration’s efforts to restrict federal contractors and grant recipients from training their employees on issues related to diversity and inclusion, saying a recent executive order violates several clauses of the Constitution.
That order followed a White House memorandum placing similar prohibitions on federal agencies and the subjects on which they can train their workers. At least one internal watchdog, the Defense Department’s inspector general, announced on Friday it would terminate its work ensuring its parent agency is meeting its diversity and inclusion goals and instead investigate compliance with President Trump’s order.
