GET ME REWRITE: First Felon Donald Trump goes all in for White Privilege

 

Print headline:  New York Times, 1/23/2025

More than 200 diversity officers, some from Fortune 500 companies and some from nonprofits, gathered last summer at N.Y.U. School of Law and on video to talk about the future of their diversity, equity and inclusion, or D.E.I., programs, which had become a legal and social target. Anxiously, they wondered how to protect themselves. Did they need to rethink internship programs for underrepresented workers, or drop certain diversity language from their websites? 

Those concerns ratcheted up sharply this week. In his first days in office, with a series of sweeping moves, President Trump took aim at diversity efforts.

A former executive minister at Highland Park United Methodist Church (HPUMC) – one of the Dallas area's most prominent churches – resigned and was later arrested for solicitation of prostitution this past fall, HPUMC officials confirmed to WFAA.

A spokesperson for HPUMC said the family of 72-year-old John Fiedler submitted his resignation on Oct. 8, 2024, citing "an undiagnosed medical condition." Fiedler's resignation was announced to the church's congregation during the Oct. 20, 2024 service, the spokesperson said.

"And on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty."  (1 Corinthians 12:23)
