Department of Labor Cuts $13.6 Million in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Grants for ‘Gender-Expansive People’
Breitbart ^ | 7 May 2025 | SEAN MORAN

Posted on 05/07/2025 2:24:59 PM PDT by Mr. Mojo

The Department of Labor (DOL) and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cut 25 diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) grants, saving $8.4 million that would have been spent on fostering inclusive environments for “gender-expansive people” and other “woke” initiatives.

The DOL and DOGE on Tuesday announced that they had canceled $13.6 million in DEI grants, which DOGE said included:

*!$716k for “DEIA materials, training modules, and support networks” * $398k for “gender equity awareness training” * $350k to “migrant sending or receiving communities”

A source familiar said that the grants included funding other controversial programs, including:

* An equity summit to foster inclusive working environments that are safe for women and “gender-expansive people,” particularly those of color, those with disabilities or neurodivergence, transgender people, and those underrepresented in tech.

* A program for underrepresented communities through Greater Houston, Texas, including women of color, those with disabilities, justice-involved women, immigrant women, transgender women, and more.

* A pre-apprentice program and “nontraditional job training program” in Biloxi, Mississippi for women, transgender women, and non-binary individuals in the Gulf Coast region.

* A DEI program to expand recruitment to historically underrepresented communities in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and southwestern Pennsylvania, including women of color, women with disabilities, justice-involved women, the LGBTQI+, and immigrant women.

* A program to address climate change and a means to mitigate the impacts of racial, social, and economic justices on vulnerable communities.

‘Gender-Expansive People’

Good Lord. History will look back on these past four years and call it the "Era of Human Emotional Insanity".

“gender equity awareness training”

Can't help but wonder how many folks are at University studying for “gender equity awareness" degrees, etc?

I wonder throughout the years how much of our tax dollars have been wasted on similar “grants.”

DOGE needs to randomly select 50 grants under $100,000 and see IF ANY of the goals were reached among the high sounding ones used to get the grant in the first place.
Many ‘grants’ are slush fund rewards for political favors.

Don’t know what “gender-expansive” means but saving that money is always a win for the taxpayers.

Ok...
Enough...
Let’s put a per taxpayer price on this crap instead of lump sum, to let us know how much WE actually pay...
Like, 6.39 per taxpayer...
Make it so we know how much WE contribute to this nonsense

Is a “justice-involved woman” just a woman who has committed a crime? Or does it have some other meaning?

In other words, just another euphemism.
