Trump proposal to end employer race, gender reporting advances

The federal commission's vote to support the Trump administration's proposal to end employer reporting on worker demographics marks a significant shift in how racial and gender antidiscrimination laws are enforced. This move could potentially roll back data collection that's crucial for monitoring and addressing workplace discrimination. The decision underscores a broader debate about the role of government in collecting and using such sensitive data, with implications for civil rights enforcement and the ongoing fight against systemic inequality.
