No CRS summary available for this bill.
This section prohibits the obligation or expenditure of federal funds to (1) require, as a condition for civil service appointment or continued employment, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training or endorsement of DEI-centered statements; or (2) develop, implement, distribute, plan, or purchase federal workforce training related to DEI, critical theory on race or gender, intersectionality, sexual orientation or gender identity, or assertions that a particular race, color, ethnicity, religion, biological sex, or national origin is inherently or systemically superior, inferior, oppressive, oppressed, privileged, or unprivileged. The prohibition does not apply to common hiring or employment practices preventing sexual harassment. DEI is defined as any practice, training, statement, or principle asserting such inherent or systemic characteristics or that systemic racism is embedded in legal systems, policies, and societal structures rather than stemming solely from individual prejudice.
