'This is the biggest win yet for our 'movement to end wokeness' in corporate America,' ....Walmart also agreed to stop using the terms 'DEI' and 'Latinx' in official communication.

Some of the sweeping changes include abandoning a $100 million racial equity center set up in 2020 after the police killing of George Floyd and leaving a prominent LGBTQ+ gay rights index.

The retail juggernaut also won't be giving priority treatment to suppliers that are 51 percent-owned by women, minorities, veterans or members of the LGBTQ community.

Walmart has said that it will better monitor its third-party marketplace items to make sure they don't feature sexual and transgender products aimed at minors.

That would include chest binders intended for youth who are going through a gender change, the company said.

The Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer will also be reviewing grants to Pride events to make sure it is not financially supporting sexualized content that may be unsuitable for kids.

For example, the company wants to makes sure a family pavilion is not next to a drag show at a Pride event, the company said.

The changes don't stop there. Walmart has scrapped any use of race or gender as a criterion in awarding supplier contracts, signaling a stark departure from efforts to improve diversity in its business partnerships.
