Original Note:
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. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2025/01/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-protects-civil-rights-and-merit-based-opportunity-by-ending-illegal-dei/ https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_education/resources/teacher_portal/educational_resources/executive_orders/
