The Trump administration has blatantly resurrected segregation in federal contracting, undoing decades of civil rights progress by removing anti-segregation mandates.

According to reporting from NPR, employees from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) were sent memos that states: “FAR 52.222-21, Prohibition of Segregated Facilities, and FAR 52.222-26, Equal Opportunity will not be considered when making award decisions or enforcing requirements.”

The regressive move reopens the door for racially divided facilities, reminiscent of the Jim Crow era, with potential “Whites Only” and “Colored” signage in government-funded workplaces. Nonetheless, under the current amendment, businesses will still be required to follow state and federal laws, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which declared segregation as illegal.

“This isn’t just a policy shift; it’s a moral catastrophe,” Melissa Murray, a constitutional law professor at New York University, told NPR. “We are witnessing the deliberate dismantling of civil rights protections that generations fought to secure.”

The changes, initiated without the customary public comment period, have been implemented to align with new executive orders on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). However, this sudden shift has sparked accusations of undermining democracy and transparency. An anonymous federal employee expressed outrage to NPR.

“This is an outright assault on democratic norms, a covert operation to reintroduce segregation without public scrutiny,” the unnamed employee remarked.

Other federal agencies in addition to NIH have received directives to disregard previous anti-segregation clauses in their contracting processes.

Inquiries to the General Services Administration about bypassing established procedural protocols were met with vague assurances.

“The GSA is committed to implementing executive orders effectively and promptly,” GSA spokesperson Will Powell stated.

Kara Sacilotto, an attorney specializing in federal contracts, pointed out the broad attack on civil rights, noting that the targeting of these protections extends beyond racial lines to include gender identity, previously expanded under the Obama administration.

“It’s clear the target is not just racial equality but all forms of civil rights progress,” Sacilotto explained.

Professor Murray added, “This isn’t just a rollback of civil rights protections—it’s a signal that we’re stepping back into a darker past, one that we’ve worked hard to move beyond.

No, it wasn’t, Rarely Right Walter, you?

All Americans suffered under the vegetable.

All Americans suffered

So again, how did you suffer? Do not regurgitate Fox News claims, but rather speak from the heart, and tell us your suffering.

I don’t take orders from a person with poor wealth management, Rarely Right Walter, who can’t retire and reports to work at 5PM on Sunday afternoon.

You?

So you cannot come up with any way you have suffered?

All Americans suffered under the vegetable.

I have given you the post no.

Have someone to help you find it, Rarely Right Walter.

In the story: They will have to follow the laws that don't allow it, but this is a "catastrophe" that "will allow"... well, nothing.

You claimed that illegals made you suffer.

It's symbolic.

Yeah, symbolic of dramatic acting and wild exaggerated panic over nothing at all.

Small correction of your post. It's not Rarely Right Walter, for it's Never Right Walter.

No, it's not. MAGATs are touchy, grievance-filled cupcakes. They cannot stand the thought of someone getting ahead.
