Like other executive orders, this order repeats divisive falsehoods that the Federal Aviation Administration hired unqualified people for discriminatory reasons, rather than for merit. It singles out people with disabilities. The order then directs the Secretary of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administrator to end all Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives and review all individuals in critical safety positions to ensure they are qualified to do their jobs. This order will harm the aspiring and current public servants who have traditionally had less access to hiring opportunities, and it reinforces the false idea that the government has only hired people with disabilities by lowering its standards for them.
