Equal employment protections come from Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. On Jan. 21, 2025, President Trump revoked Executive Order 11246, removing affirmative action for federal contractors. This doesn’t affect Title VII or laws enforced by the EEOC. [Link] [Link] [Link]

The post is correct. Donald Trump has revoked the Equal Opportunity Act of 1965 which did prohibit discrimination based on Sex, Religion, Race, etc [Link] Also EO 13672 which prohibits discrimination based on Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity [Link]

The post is conflating the EEOC Act of 1965 — a law — with Executive Order 11246. The EO signed by Trump ONLY applies to Executive Order 11246 issued by LBJ, and has NO IMPACT upon the EEOC Act of 1965. Passed legislation — laws — cannot be overturned by Executive Order. [Link] [Link]

Trump revoked Executive Order 11246 (not an act) which protected against employment discrimination by federal contractors. Trump revoked an order that enforced protections for LGBTQ+ people, but employment discrimination is still illegal. That can’t be changed by an EO. [Link] [Link] [Link]

Trump’s executive order only revoked equal-opportunity protections for federal employees and contractors. The employment rights of Americans overall are for now still protected by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which cannot be revoked via executive order. [Link] [Link] [Link] [Link]

While Trump rescinded Executive Order 11246, ending affirmative action for federal contractors, anti-discrimination protections under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Equal Pay Act, and ADA remain intact. The post is misleading and omits this critical context. Sources: [Link] [Link] [Link]

NNN. People can see it's an Executive Order, and it's a big deal. “It differed significantly from the requirements of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which required organizations only to document their practices once there was a preliminary finding of wrongdoing.” [Link]
