(AP) PBS says it is shutting down its office of diversity, equity and inclusion to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order, firing the two executives brought on when the effort was begun in 2021.
The move, eliminating the jobs held by Cecilia Loving and her associate Gina Leow, comes as public television and radio girds for a fight over federal funding likely to be more serious than it has faced in many years.

    I think PBS should take a stand for DEI and refuse federal funding. Show the people they are not two-faced grifters.

    Any company being funded in any way from the government or the public should have those funds removed if they support DEI.
