This year’s Jackie Robinson Day was clouded by controversy after the White House directed the removal of DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility) from Foreign Service criteria. A Pentagon page about Robinson’s military service was taken down—its URL modified—prompting backlash before being restored. Meanwhile, MLB removed DEI references from its careers section, though Commissioner Rob Manfred insisted that Robinson’s legacy transcends such debates. Critics argued that the timing and targeting of DEI removal on a day commemorating civil rights milestones was glaring. The episode reignited broader conversations about DEI’s place in institutions. For many, honoring Robinson now serves as a flashpoint in a deeper cultural conflict.
