Did trump revoke the equal employment act

Trump did not revoke the Equal Employment Opportunity Act

No, former President Donald Trump did not revoke the Equal Employment Opportunity Act or the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

However, his administration made several policy changes related to employment and anti-discrimination protections, including:

  • Rolling back certain protections for LGBTQ+ workers, such as arguing that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act did not cover sexual orientation and gender identity (a stance later overturned by the Supreme Court in Bostock v. Clayton County in 2020).
  • Limiting diversity training in federal workplaces by restricting discussions on systemic racism and privilege (this order was later reversed by President Biden).
  • Changing rules regarding discrimination claims at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which made it harder for workers to file claims.

Could you clarify which specific policy change you’re asking about? Trump did not revoke the Equal Employment Opportunity Act, but his administration did make several changes related to workplace discrimination laws and enforcement.

  • LGBTQ+ protections → His administration argued against Title VII covering sexual orientation and gender identity, but the Supreme Court ruled otherwise in Bostock v. Clayton County (2020).
  • Affirmative action or diversity training → He issued an executive order limiting federal diversity training (later revoked by Biden).
  • EEOC changes → His administration made it harder to file workplace discrimination claims.

It sounds like you’re asking for more details on specific policy changes Trump made related to employment discrimination. Here’s a breakdown of key changes during his administration:

1. LGBTQ+ Workplace Protections

  • The Trump administration argued that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (which bans sex discrimination in employment) did not protect against discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
  • However, in 2020, the Supreme Court ruled in Bostock v. Clayton County that LGBTQ+ workers are protected under Title VII, effectively overturning the Trump administration’s stance.

2. Diversity & Anti-Racism Training Ban

  • In 2020, Trump issued Executive Order 13950, which restricted federal agencies and contractors from conducting workplace diversity training that mentioned systemic racism, white privilege, or implicit bias.
  • This order was widely criticized and later revoked by President Biden in early 2021.

3. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Changes

  • The Trump administration changed EEOC rules, making it harder for workers to file discrimination claims by limiting the agency’s ability to collect and publicize employer pay data by race and gender.
  • These changes were also reversed by Biden’s administration.

4. Military & Transgender Employment

  • Trump reinstated a ban on transgender individuals serving in the military (originally lifted by Obama).
  • This ban was rescinded by Biden in 2021.

5. Federal Contractor Discrimination Policies

  • Trump’s Department of Labor gave religious organizations more leeway to claim religious exemptions from non-discrimination requirements when they were federal contractors.
  • This meant that certain religious employers could decline to hire LGBTQ+ individuals or unmarried pregnant women based on their beliefs.

Did Trump Revoke the Equal Employment Act?

No, he did not repeal the Equal Employment Opportunity Act or Civil Rights Act of 1964, but he weakened workplace protections for some groups, particularly LGBTQ+ workers and those affected by systemic discrimination. Many of these changes were reversed by Biden.
