The United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr said on Friday that he asked the FCC's Enforcement Bureau to open an investigation into the Walt Disney Company and its ABC unit over the company's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices.
"While Disney started as an iconic American company, it recently went all in on DEI. I am concerned that their DEI practices may violate FCC prohibitions on invidious forms of discrimination," Carr said in a post on X.
According to Carr's letter to Disney CEO Bob Iger, the investigation aims to determine whether Disney and ABC have been violating the FCC's equal employment opportunity regulations by "promoting invidious forms of DEI discrimination."
