Trump Admin Orders Federal Employees to Remove Pronouns from Email Signatures
Multiple federal agencies ordered employees to remove pronouns from their email signatures by Friday afternoon, according to internal memos obtained by ABC News. The directive stems from two executive orders signed by President Trump on his first day in office, aiming to curb diversity and equity programs. Agencies including the Department of Transportation, Department of Energy, and CDC received similar instructions. One CDC employee expressed frustration, stating this had never happened in their decade of service. The Office of Personnel Management also issued a memo directing agencies to review email systems and disable pronoun prompts. This action is the latest in the Trump administration's push to dismantle diversity and equity initiatives within the federal government.
