Something seems a bit ‘filet-o-fishy’ about the one-sided press coverage regarding McDonald’s DEI “rollback”. To me, their commitment to inclusion is proof of success.

McDonald's announced Monday it is scrapping some of its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, becoming the latest company to make changes amid activist pressure.

McDonald’s cited a “shifting legal landscape” after a U.S. Supreme Court decision outlawed affirmative action in college admissions but a shifting political landscape may also have played a role.

McDonald’s is the latest US corporation – and among the largest – to back off some of its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices, as a Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action and conservative backlash to those programs continues to lead businesses to reevaluate their diversity pledges.
