On September 22, 2020, President Trump issued an Executive Order1 on Combating Race and Sex Stereotyping.
The Order is directed squarely at federal contractors and subcontractors and states that its purpose is to “promote economy and efficiency in Federal contracting, … unity in the Federal workforce, and … combat[] offensive and anti-American race and sex stereotyping and scapegoating.”
