The Lowe’s chain of home improvement stores has dropped its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives after a backlash from customers and after the U.S. Supreme Court banned affirmative action in college admissions.
Per Just the News:
Lowe’s is the latest company to adjust its DEI policies since the ruling, and amid blowback from right-wing influencers and political commentators. Harley-Davidson, John Deere, and Tractor Supply Co. have ended their DEI policies recently, and Zoom, Snap, Tesla, DoorDash, Lyft, Home Depot, and Wayfair have reduced their DEI work force, according to the New York Post.
Lowe’s leadership claimed it began reviewing its DEI program after the Supreme Court ruling last year, and decided to merge its individual resource groups that were for “diverse sections of our associate population,” into one group, according to an internal memo reported by the Associated Press.
The home improvement company will also no longer participate in the Human Rights Campaign’s annual survey that measures how inclusive workplaces are for the LGBTQ community. It will additionally stick to participating in and sponsoring events and parades that only align with its business area.
“We may make additional changes over time,” the company’s leadership team said in the memo. “What will not change, though, is our commitment to our people.”
Outrage also built after social media users began posting claims that Lowe’s CEO Marvin Ellison said that if you don’t agree with his left-wingery, then he does not want you to shop at Lowe’s.
The company has put out a statement claiming that Ellison never made the comments attributed to him.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
