Biden’s Anti-Discrimination Order Is Executive Vaporware

Some executive orders please supporters—and troll adversaries—without delivering much in the way of policy change.
Biden’s Anti-Discrimination Order Is Executive Vaporware

Of 14 executive orders signed by President Joe Biden during his first week in office, the most popular with the public, according to a tabulation by Five Thirty-Eight, is the one “prohibiting workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.” 

Which is mighty strange, because if there’s anything Biden’s Executive Order 13988 doesn’t do, it is prohibit workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
