Google Calendar no longer includes start of Black History Month, Pride Month


Google Calendar has removed reference to observances such as the beginning of Black history Month on Feb. 1, and Women's History Month on March 1.

"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. "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. One of Trump's first acts as president after taking office in January was to sign an executive order ending the government's DEI programs and putting federal officials overseeing those initiatives on leave.
