EXCLUSIVE: Scrapping Biden’s DEI, Labor Department Restores Faith Back Into Grant Process | Eastern North Carolina Now

    WASHINGTON     President Donald Trump's Labor Department is welcoming back faith-based organizations into its federal grant process, The Daily Wire can first report, reversing a Biden-era move that diminished the role of faith in favor of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the Labor Department.

    Under the Biden administration, the Labor Department has significantly reduced the role of its faith office by implementing DEI policies, the Daily Wire has learned. Now, the Trump Labor Department is reinvigorating the faith office to make clear that prayer and work do not have to be mutually exclusive in American society, particularly when faith organizations can help Americans acquire the needed skills to provide for their families.

    Beginning immediately, the DOL shared with The Daily Wire that every Labor Department discretionary grant will explicitly encourage faith-based organizations to apply for funding. The new language in the grants makes it very clear that faith-based organizations cannot be discriminated against based on their religious beliefs.

    "Under President Trump's leadership, the Labor Department has eliminated the DEI office created under the previous administration and restored the Center for Faith to ensure religious freedom is protected in the workplace and in the grant process," U.S. Department of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer told The Daily Wire.

    "We are making clear that faith-based organizations cannot be discriminated against because of their beliefs," she added, "and are encouraged to compete for federal funding on a level playing field."

    The faith office is tasked with developing regulations that protect religious freedom and engaging with faith organizations nationwide. The DEI initiatives introduced by Biden across the Labor Department significantly diminished the role of faith-based organizations, DOL officials explained to The Daily Wire.


    Now that Trump is back in command, the Labor Department has restored the Center for Faith back to its intended purpose, which is led by a director, a deputy director, and a senior advisor under the leadership of Chavez-DeRemer (who also sits on Trump's "Task Force To Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias").

    The Center for Faith will work with the White House Faith Office as well as other federal faith agencies to make sure that religious freedom is promoted in the workplace, that resources are available to support First Amendment religious liberty rights for both employees and employers, and to "level the playing field in the federal grant process" for faith organizations.

Considering the current overwhelming obstacles inflicting stress upon America's working class: rampant inflation; energy insecurity; supply chain turmoil; banking failures; foreign policy disasters; government corruption; (DEI) Diversity Equity Inclusion narrative, with WOKE extremes practiced; Climate Change ideology; intractable crime wave in Leftist cities; wide open border by executive design; a permanently discredited Legacy Media; failed or failing education industry, just to name a few of the many: Who should Americans blame?

  Donald J. Trump

  Joseph R. Biden

  Leftist controlled Congress for the last 4 years.

  Bloated, incompetent bureaucracy weaponized and poorly managed

  The electorate, US, for putting these fools in elected office that utterly fail

Considering what real news is available for all to witness, and in great specificity, should one pursue what is true outside of the channeled realm of the corrupt corporate /legacy media, and: Is Institutionalized Corruption real, and is it a hindrance to sustaining our Constitutional Republic now, and for future generations of American citizens?

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.
