A recent policy change by the Trump administration allows federal contractors to have segregated facilities, revoking a long-standing prohibition established by President Johnson in 1965. A General Services Administration memo reveals that federal agencies are now directed to ignore these nondiscrimination clauses when awarding contracts. This shift is leading to increased concern over civil rights protections, even though businesses must still adhere to federal and state civil rights laws, including those prohibiting segregation under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The recent memo from the GSA reflects a troubling shift towards allowing federal contractors to potentially segregate facilities, undermining pivotal civil rights advancements.
This change, motivated by an order from President Trump, explicitly revokes previous regulations against segregation established in the Civil Rights Act, raising significant concerns.
