The Justice Department announced the lifting of a school desegregation order in Louisiana, suggesting similar orders from the Civil Rights Movement be reconsidered. The move has sparked concerns about the administration’s stance on civil rights and racial equality. Critics argue that the Trump administration is targeting government programs that benefit Black people and reversing progress made since the Civil Rights Movement. The administration’s actions, including revoking diversity and affirmative action practices, have raised alarms about systemic racism and segregationist policies. The broader strategy of the administration to dismantle civil rights protections and target federal workers, particularly Black employees, has drawn criticism and calls for resistance.
