Trump lawsuit, which asserts that the order \u201crequires them to censor or cease the trainings that are fundamental to their missions on pain of losing federal funding in the form of contracts and grants, in violation of the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment.\u201d It also contends that the order\u2019s language is so vague that those impacted do not know which activities specifically could cause them to lose contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though the filing for an injunction initially covered the whole executive order, the plaintiffs later narrowed its scope to cover just contracts and grants, as the court expressed doubt that they had the standing to contest the order\u2019s implementation for federal employees and members of the military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In issuing the injunction, the court found that the lawsuit had a likelihood of success in demonstrating that Sections 4 ad 5 of the EO violate First Amendment rights and are too vague to delineate prohibited conduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President-elect Joe Biden has also indicated his intentions to overturn the diversity training order and listed the promotion of diversity within the federal workforce as a key element of his transition plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agency inspectors general have confirmed
