DEI, the agenda that refuses to die

Although the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and civil rights laws dating back to 1866 prohibit nearly all racial preferences, most Americans oppose these preferences, and Donald Trump was elected vowing to eliminate DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) – progressives won't give up.

Their race-obsessed thinking reduces America to intersectional classifications of oppressed and oppressor. This addled concept is a self-defeating dialectic in which no amount of progress on race relations is ever enough – or even acknowledged. Despite enormous advances, with the possible exception of Palestinians and transgender people, no group is seen as more oppressed and deserving of preferences than African Americans.

In 2025, President Trump issued executive orders that revoked President Biden's whole-of-government mandates interweaving DEI into all facets of the federal government. Since then, the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department under Harmeet Dhillon has filed numerous administrative actions and lawsuits to end racial preferences that disadvantage whites, and some universities, corporations, and charities have limited their DEI programs. Conversely, many universities have defied the Supreme Court's 2023 holding in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard by renaming or reformulating their DEI programs. Some are using a loophole in the SFFA decision that acknowledged colleges may consider how an applicant's race affected his life.

MLK? Meh! So much for the 'I have a dream' meme. SPECIAL treatment is NOT equal treatment. Lucky I'm retired or I'd be fired.

“White Males Need Not Apply”

And who are the primary adherents to DEI? Liberal white women.

I’ve I said many times here, there’s nothing to celebrate when an agency or companies SAYS they’re throwing out DEI, unless said agency or company provides names and pictures of people walking out with their personal items boxes. In other words, it’s like trying to rid a Nazi-infested government (think EU) by using a proclamation - doesn’t work, you MUST get rid of the DEIs themselves too.

When after closing DEI offices is find jobs for the employees of the DEI offices, you can expect DEI to continue. This is like cancer surgery, unless you get it all, it will metastasize and come back.
