Barclays is scrapping its diversity and inclusivity targets across the United States, the bank said on Tuesday, becoming the latest British company to abandon its inclusivity goals following the U.S.

The U.S. Department of Education has threatened federal funding for states with “impermissible” diversity, equity and inclusion programs in K-12 public schools. Agency officials are asking state agencies to certify within 10 days that they comply with civil rights laws and a court ruling banning affirmative action.

The US government has unleashed a massive campaign against programs for diversity, equity and inclusion. Universities and companies are being curbed, names erased. Experts believe this is part of a larger strategy.
