Description

"With the swipe of a pen, he rolled it back 50 years in the state of Indiana," said Rev. Dr. Wayne Moore, of Olivet Baptist Church and president of the Baptist Minister's Alliance.
Under the order, executive branch state agencies should not use state funds or resources to support DEI programs if they grant preferential treatment based on a person's race or ethnicity.
