President Trump May Roll Back Federal Anti-Discrimination Rules

https://www.democracynow.org/2019/1/4/headlines/president_trump_may_roll_back_federal_anti_discrimination_rules

President Trump is reportedly preparing to alter federal anti-discrimination rules in a far-reaching rollback of civil rights protections. The changes would impact so-called disparate impact regulations meant to fight practices that harm people of color, women, members of the LGBTQ community and other groups. The rollback could impact education, housing and other aspects of American life. In response, Jeff Robinson of the American Civil Liberties Union said, “It is shameful that this administration is considering dismantling tools to fight discrimination rather than using its power to foster respect for the dignity and equality of all people.”

Not surprising. Also horrific. Hopefully we hear no more complaining about “identity politics” from people who should know better.

Instead he's the very visible definition of a racist misogynist.

With ZERO intelligence or class. I know very poor folks here with better of both!
