FCC Chairman Launches Probe Into Comcast and NBCU DEI Practices, Says He Is ‘Concerned’ They May Be ‘Promoting Invidious Forms of Discrimination’
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has taken the Trump administration's war on diversity, equity and inclusion to a new target: Comcast and NBCUniversal.
“I am concerned that his companies may be promoting invidious forms of DEI that do not comply with FCC regulations & civil rights laws,” Carr said in a post on X, the social network owned by Elon Musk. As the Supreme Court has written, the classifications drawn by extreme DEI policies stigmatize individuals by reason of a group identity and are, by their very definition, odious to a free people whose institutions are founded on a commitment to equality.” In addition, the company offers a variety of training programs and initiatives focused on “creating a more inclusive workplace culture, including company-wide forums like our DE&I speaker series, along with an enterprise-wide learning catalog.”
