Walmart is making a slate of changes to its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, becoming the latest in a growing list of major corporations to halt the so-called “woke” initiatives.
Anti-woke activist and filmmaker Robby Starbuck, who has been leading a campaign exposing major corporations’ woke policies, said on X on Monday that he warned Walmart executives last week that he would be doing a story on “wokeness” at the retail giant.
“Instead,” Starbuck shared, “we had productive conversations to find solutions.”
Starbuck outlined the changes Walmart agreed to make, including working to remove sexual and transgender products inappropriately marketed toward children and reviewing grants to Pride events to avoid funding sexualized content targeting kids.
Walmart clarified that these changes have been in the works for a few years and were not a result of the conversation with Starbuck.
Walmart confirmed to FOX Business that it plans to change how it monitors products within its marketplace and reviews the funding of grants.
The company said some products that violated its policies have been removed, such as chest binders – products designed to flatten the chest – when marketed to children.
