They’ve literally banned efforts to ensure research is free of discrimination. We’re in opposite world, or at least pretending to be.

It would be useful to show the comparison, rather than claim it. Could you be more specific about this, by at least providing the section that you read, or the EO references?

This is the EO that was repealed. I didn’t originally include it because it was already mentioned in this thread. Both claim to ban discrimination based on race, gender, or religion.
