NASA has ended its diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility ( DEI ) programs after all federal agencies were directed to 'terminate' the initiatives.

The space agency admitted that 'these programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination' The agency has spent at least $22.4 million annually on such programs.

Janet Petro , the first woman to lead NASA , urged staff to report colleagues who have attempted to disguise DEI programs with coded language.

'The DEI thing can create an environment where things are not focused and accountability gets diluted,' another NASA employee, who works at the agency, said. ' Real scientists don't give a hoot about DEI or other hyper-political c

. 'There are good scientists doing real, good work there. [ NASA ] has become extremely bureaucratic.'.
