Introduction: The Mouse House Under Trump’s Microscope
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has launched a sweeping investigation into Disney and ABC over allegations of discriminatory hiring and content practices disguised as “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) programs. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, a Trump appointee, revealed the probe in a letter to Disney CEO Bob Iger, demanding answers about race- and gender-based quotas that may violate federal equal employment laws. This move marks a pivotal moment in President Trump’s crusade to dismantle woke corporate policies that prioritize identity over merit—a cornerstone of his second-term agenda.
“I have asked the @FCC’s Enforcement Bureau to open an investigation into Disney & ABC. While Disney started as an iconic American company, it recently went all in on DEI. I am concerned that their DEI practices may violate FCC prohibitions on invidious forms of discrimination.”
— FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, March 28, 2025
Disney’s DEI Quotas: Discrimination Masquerading as Progress
Internal documents show Disney mandated that 50% of regular TV characters and 50% of writers, directors, and vendors must come from “underrepresented groups”—a clear violation of the Communications Act’s anti-discrimination provisions. The company also created racially segregated “affinity groups” and tied executive bonuses to DEI metrics, as noted in Carr’s letter. These practices mirror the toxic DEI frameworks the Biden administration imposed across federal agencies, which Trump eradicated via Executive Order 14199 on his first day in office.
Trump’s DEI Purge: Restoring Merit in Corporate America
President Trump’s January 2025 executive orders didn’t just dismantle DEI in government—they empowered agencies like the FCC to root out discriminatory practices in private companies. As Carr noted, Disney’s DEI obsession “tainted many aspects of [its] decision-making,” including altering classic films like Aladdin and The Jungle Book to satisfy woke revisionism. This aligns with Trump’s broader push to defund DEI in federal contracting and higher education, reversing Biden-era policies that weaponized identity politics.
The Deep State’s DEI Playbook: How Biden Empowered Discrimination
The Biden administration’s 2021 DEI mandates laid the groundwork for Disney’s radical policies. Biden’s FCC turned a blind eye to discriminatory hiring practices, allowing corporations to replace competence with woke checkboxes. Now, Trump’s FCC is exposing this corruption. As Carr’s investigation reveals, Disney’s “Reimagine Tomorrow” initiative functioned as a Trojan horse for race-based hiring—a tactic straight from the deep state’s playbook. Meanwhile, legacy media outlets like CNN and NPR initially praised these quotas, proving their complicity in undermining American values.
Patriots vs. Woke Corporations: The Battle for America’s Soul
The FCC’s Disney probe is more than a regulatory action—it’s a cultural reckoning. For years, mega-corporations like Disney have pushed far-left ideology under the guise of “inclusion,” alienating millions of Americans. Trump’s bold leadership is finally holding these entities accountable. As Carr emphasized, “Disney began as an iconic American enterprise… but a shift occurred.” That shift—from meritocracy to Marxist division—ends now.
