More attacks on diversity

Newsworthy News - The Federal Communications Commission has scored another victory in the campaign to use its regulatory powers to promote the MAGA goal of stamping out all vestiges of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the private sector. T-Mobile, which is seeking FCC approval of two fiber and wireless deals, has announced it will shut down all its DEI programs.

The company announced the move in an obsequious letter to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, a contributor to Project 2025 and an unabashed Trump loyalist. It wrote: “We remain fully committed to ensuring that T-Mobile does not have any policies or practices that enable invidious discrimination, whether in fulfillment of DEI or any other purpose,” adding that the company is ending its DEI-related policies “not just in name, but in substance.”

T-Mobile’s move comes about two months after Verizon, also seeking regulatory approvals, issued a similar renunciation of DEI. That, in turn, came after the FCC announced it would investigate DEI at major media companies.
