On January 20, 2025, newly elected President Trump issued an executive order (EO) banning “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) programs and considerations (White House, 2025). The EO directs the federal administration and agencies to: Terminate diversity, equity, and inclusion offices, positions, and programs in the federal government.

Questions:  Do you think the creators of the RPI film would support President Trump’s executive orders on DEI? Please explain. In a separate paragraph, do you think these executive orders will help reduce racial-ethnic inequality in the U.S.? Please explain.  In a third paragraph, please share your personal thoughts on these executive orders and DEI in general? Supportive? Against? Please explain your reasoning. An example illustrating your thoughts is encouraged. NOTE: Though there is clearly an immediate affect on federal agencies and administrative workers, as well as a chilling effect on non-federal institutions and businesses, the courts are still sorting out what is or is not legal with these executive orders.
