The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has launched an investigation into Disney and its subsidiary ABC over their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, appointed by former President Donald Trump, raised concerns that Disney’s DEI initiatives may not align with FCC regulations.
In a letter to Disney CEO Robert Iger, Carr accused the company of embedding diversity efforts across its operations in a way that could violate regulatory standards. This move follows similar probes into Comcast and NBCUniversal as part of broader efforts to eliminate DEI programs in government agencies and private corporations.

Trump, in his return to office, made dismantling DEI policies a key priority, arguing they promote “illegal and immoral discrimination.” His administration’s crackdown has been met with strong opposition from civil rights organizations, who warn that it reverses decades of progress on racial justice and equality.
As the debate intensifies, the FCC’s scrutiny of Disney signals a larger shift in the regulatory landscape, raising questions about the future of corporate diversity initiatives in the United States.
