Google has taken an axe to DEI on another front.

The tech giant’s popular calendar function no longer tells users about Black History Month or Women’s History Month.

According to a report Monday on CNBC, the Feb. 1 start of the former and the March 1 start of the latter are not marked, as such holidays as Christmas and Easter are and as the months were in 2024 and for some years previous.

Other month observances that have been pushed by U.S. progressives in recent years, such as Pride Month (June) and Indigenous Peoples Month (November), are no longer noted on Google Calendar.

A Google spokesperson said the changes have been planned for months.

“Some years ago, the Calendar team started manually adding a broader set of cultural moments in a wide number of countries around the world,” the spokesperson said in an email to CNBC. 

“We got feedback that some other events and countries were missing — and maintaining hundreds of moments manually and consistently globally wasn’t scalable or sustainable,” the spokesperson added.

According to the spokesperson, the company in mid-2024 decided to show “only public holidays and national observances from timeanddate.com globally, while allowing users to manually add other important moments.”

However, Google has changed numerous policies and labelings in recent days reflecting the national backlash against diversity, equity and inclusion policies and the political moves of President Trump.

It began scrapping its own DEI goals and its founders have been courting Mr. Trump since his election victory after having joined Silicon Valley giants to kick him off social media and otherwise deplatform him a few years ago.

The Google Maps function now shows the body of water known for centuries as the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America after Mr. Trump ordered the U.S. government to begin calling it that. Its maps also quickly renamed Denali, the Alaska mountain that is the tallest in North America, as Mount McKinley, following a Trump administration order undoing the reverse renaming in 2015 by President Obama.
