Walt Disney began to curtail some initiatives in the field of policy in diversity, equality and inclusiveness (Dei). This is reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
Since the beginning of the financial year, Disney will abandon the factor of diversity affecting the reward of managers, replacing it with another, which should be more focused on contribution to the commercial success of Disney.
In his last report for regulatory authorities, Disney removed the references to the initiative of Reimagine Tomorrow (rethink tomorrow), launched in 2021 to support groups of people with low representation. The company also did not mention professional development and scholarship programs for such employees, noting the existing initiative to employ military veterans.
Disney will also change the warning that is automatically shown before the reproduction of some old films, including Peter Pan and Dambo ”. Correction will occur on the Disney+ streaming service.
Previously, the wording sounded like this: "
The updated wording will look like this: \? in the original form and may contain stereotypes or negative images "
In addition, the initiative is closed, in which the stories of " The changes were set forth in a note for employees sent on Tuesday by the director of personnel Sonya Coleman. They include a new factor in the "
Such changes are associated with the return to the White House of US President Donald Trump, which conducts a campaign against such initiatives.
President Trump issued a decree prescribing an investigation of the alleged illegal policy of the Dei for violation of federal civil rights laws over the past weeks of DEI policies such as Google, Deloitte, Walmart, Ford, Harley Davidson and Traactor Supply.
We will remind, earlier the US Secretary of Defense Pit Hegset stated that he intends to clean the generals who supports Dei initiatives. He believes that Dei and critical racial theory weaken the army, especially in military academies, and plans to remove any programs aimed at attracting and supporting a variety of groups, focusing training exclusively for hostilities.
