White House directs federal agencies to cancel race-related training sessions it calls Un-American propaganda
President Trump is moving to revamp federal agencies racial sensitivity trainings, casting some of them divisive and un-American, according to a memo by the White House Office of Management and Budget.
In the two-page memo, OMB Director Russell Vought says that Trump has asked him to prevent federal agencies from spending millions in taxpayer dollars on these training sessions. Vought says OMB will instruct federal agencies to come up with a list of all contracts related to training sessions involving white privilege or critical race theory, and do everything possible within the law to cancel those contracts, the memo states.
The memo, released on Friday, also tells all federal agencies to identify and if possible cancel contracts that involve teaching that America is an inherently racist or evil country.
The President has directed me to ensure that federal agencies cease and desist from using taxpayer dollars to fund these divisive, un-American propaganda training sessions, the memo states.

(7,875 posts)They are likely the outcome of a Judge's finding and rulings. In which case they are legally required and can't simply be canceled by royal fiat. Trump and Miller screwed with the law once again because they don't know or care what it says, nor what a Judge they don't own has to say.
It may also be true that they are authorized by Congress and therefore Trump can't curtail the contracts since he doesn't have that authority.
Up yours, your majesty!
