from The National Pulse:
Numerous current and former federal employees are expressing anger and outrage over the cessation of diversity programs within government agencies, according to posts made in a private Facebook group. These discussions, primarily among individuals associated with the National Park Service (NPS) and Department of the Interior (DOI), reveal apprehensions about President Donald J. Trump’s recent directive to dismantle federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Some have equated the move to historical periods of intense scrutiny, like McCarthyism.
The Trump administration has warned federal workers of disciplinary actions if they resist the order, issuing memos with instructions to report any non-compliance via a dedicated email tip line. A post from a Department of Agriculture (USDA) employee shared this policy communication sent to agency staff along with the reporting email address in the Facebook group. They compared the executive order to investigations into Communist Party membership in the 1950s.

Reactions within the group include criticism and sarcasm, drawing parallels to past political tactics. One user commented on the invocation of constitutional duty amid changes, while another likened the situation to an era of political witch hunts, suggesting figures like the late Senator Joseph McCarthy (R-WI) would be approving of current actions. Notably, history has largely proven McCarthy correct about the communist threat within the U.S. federal government.
Concerns extend beyond policy changes, as individuals in the group ponder potential surveillance, despite assurances of privacy. The Department of the Interior has begun enforcing the policy, and communications among group members advise caution in navigating these directives.
