He should have done this on the first day after being sworn in; now, they need only wait him out

Revenge of the Swamp Creatures: Masha Yovanovitch marches to Capitol Hill to testify in Trump impeachment trial
The need to reduce protections within the civil service became apparent when training based on critical race theory was banned from the government. Within two weeks of the order, whistleblowers started to report that their scheduled critical race training would proceed—in direct violation of the order.
Many who made their careers in private industry were stunned. Any department head or manager who operates in direct defiance of an order from a CEO would not remain on the team for long. Yet when this happened in federal agencies, no one was apparently held accountable.
I disagree with the author that this move “became apparent” with the refusal of government staffers to enforce Trump’s prohibition against critical race theory struggle sessions in government agencies, at least to the extent that it implies a new problem. Congress has delegated its powers of enforcement and interpretation of its laws to the regulatory staffers for decades. The resistance and open defiance of Trump’s orders have been more obvious than that displayed in prior administrations, but it’s nothing new.
i wonder who persuaded Trump to wait so long to make this reform; it’s far too late now unless, of course, he beats the polls and is given four more years.
Even then, we’ll see only a temporary fix, because the Swamp is resurgent, and will certainly rise again.
