Trump also reportedly rescinded the affirmative action program for the federal government dating from the Johnson administration and has ordered US government offices and embassies to fly only the US flag.
This is kind of a sad day. It’s one of those things where all this hatred was focused on something that most of the people who hate it don’t even know what DEI is. I work at a university and our DEI people are not federally funded but they are freaking out a bit. Understandably. It’s sad.
You are sad that only the qualifications and character of individuals will be considered, without considering their race, creed, national ancestry or sexual preferences.
I find just the opposite. People do know what DEI is about and they want no part of it. And of course, the msm is fully on board. I refuse to read beyond the word “they” in any article referring to a single individual, so as not to offend. A single individual is biologically either he or she. I refuse to play the DEI game telling me how I should address someone, so as not to offend them.
We have been reading all about it for a couple of years now. We have seen the policy letters, the training slides, the mandates. We know it for exactly what it is, a preference based system, in direct violation of the 14th Amendment and the Civil Rights Act.
I put the unemployed DEI workers in the same category as people who lost their jobs enforcing the Virginia Racial Integrity Act when it was repealed. Discrimination based on race is, at best, misguided no matter what the pretext is.
