“May have FORCED RACIAL and IDENTITY quotas”

… I have asked to … open an investigation into Disney and ABC

… ensure that Disney and ABC have not been violating FCC equal employment opportunity regulations

… by promoting invidious forms of DEI discrimination

… I want to ensure that Disney ends any and all discriminatory initiatives in substance, not just name

… determine whether Disney’s actions—whether ongoing or recently ended—complied at all times with applicable FCC regulations

… Disney’s leadership went all in on invidious forms of DEI discrimination

… did so in a manner that infected many aspects of your company’s decisions

… Commission rules prohibit regulated entities like Disney’s ABC

from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, or gender

… Disney made DEI a key priority for the company’s businesses

… embedded explicit race- and gender-based criteria across its operations

… a disturbing picture of Disney’s DEI practices

… the company’s decision to launch what would amount to racially-segregated affinity groups and spaces

… also implemented mandatory “Inclusion Standards” across ABC

… “50 percent of regular and recurring characters” be drawn from “underrepresented groups”

… These standards may have forced racial and identity quotas into every level of production

… “50% or more” of writers, directors, crew, and vendors be selected based on group identity

… It appears that executive bonuses may also have been tied to DEI “performance,”

… ABC has utilized race-based hiring databases and restricted fellowships to select demographic groups
