Yes, being opposed to discrimination is an ideological conformity test.

Other way around — prohibiting steps to reduce discrimination is the test.

They’ve literally banned efforts to ensure research is free of discrimination. We’re in opposite world, or at least pretending to be.

You do realize that the EO this replaced has almost the exact verbiage about discrimination, right? We should be focusing on what is different between the two instead of being sidetracked by that argument.

It would be useful to show the comparison, rather than claim it. Could you be more specific about this, by at least providing the section that you read, or the EO references?

This is the EO that was repealed. I didn’t originally include it because it was already mentioned in this thread. Both claim to ban discrimination based on race, gender, or religion.
