John Deere, a farm equipment manufacturer, has announced that it will no longer support 'social or cultural awareness' events, aligning with a trend of companies stepping back from diversity and inclusion initiatives after facing backlash. The company stated that it will review training materials to ensure compliance with laws and clarified that diversity quotas and pronoun identification are not part of its policies. The move follows similar actions by other companies like Tractor Supply, sparking debates around diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts influenced by conservative pressure. Advocates for diversity initiatives express disappointment and call for action against the company's direction.
