FCC chair Brendan Carr said he wants a review all of Disney's DEI practices — both past and present — to determine whether the company has ever violated any FCC regulations.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has initiated an investigation into The Walt Disney Company and its subsidiary, ABC, focusing on their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices. This inquiry was prompted by concerns raised by Republican lawmakers regarding potential discrimination in hiring practices at Disney and ABC, which could violate federal equal employment opportunity laws. The investigation aims to ensure that these companies comply with FCC regulations that require broadcasters to promote equal employment opportunities. The scrutiny comes amidst broader political debates about DEI initiatives, with critics arguing that such policies might prioritize diversity over merit. Disney has responded by affirming its commitment to diversity and inclusion, stating that its practices are in line with legal standards and promote a fair and inclusive workplace.
