Walmart Scales Back DEI Efforts Amidst Conservative Influence
TL;DR Summary
Walmart is phasing out several diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, with conservative influencer Robby Starbuck claiming credit for influencing this decision. Starbuck, known for his anti-DEI stance, has targeted various companies, including John Deere and Harley-Davidson, urging them to retreat from DEI initiatives. Despite his claims, broader trends and pressures, including post-2020 pushback from lawmakers and influential figures, are also contributing to these corporate shifts.
