Internet Spams Trump's 'DEI Truth' Tip Line With Porn, 'Simpsons' Jokes
HuffPost
Federal employees were told to report “disguised” Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility offices to the email. The public is… pitching in.
A tip line meant to encourage federal employees to rat out their colleagues for working on diversity issues is instead apparently being spammed with movie quotes and colored pencil drawings.
Charles Ezell, the acting director of the Office of Personnel Management — basically the federal government’s HR department – sent a memo to agency heads Tuesday, encouraging them to send a letter to employees asking them to report “efforts by some in government to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language.” The letter threatens “adverse consequences” if federal workers choose not to report their coworkers.
Workers can expose their colleagues, the letter says, by emailing a tip line at DEIAtruth@opm.gov.
The memo says the tip line is part of an anti-DEIA — that is, “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility” — campaign across the Trump administration, which includes putting employees in DEIA offices on paid administrative leave, taking down public DEIA-focused websites and canceling DEIA initiatives. President Donald Trump has come out hard against diversity programs, including by revoking a landmark executive order signed by former President Lyndon Johnson that prohibited discrimination by federal contractors, and by pressuring private businesses to ditch DEIA practices. Various parts of this anti-DEIA push could face legal battles.
Versions of Ezell’s letter have been spotted throughout the government, including at the departments of Homeland Security, Health and Human Services and State, as well as NASA.
Several states sued the Trump administration over the order, arguing the 14th Amendment and Supreme Court case law have cemented birthright citizenship.
