Most federal agencies have already prepared for a 'diversity, equity, and inclusion' regime.
In recent months, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of Republican elected officials vocally criticizing programs and policies that advance "wokeness," or left-wing racialist ideology, at the federal or state level. This is a positive development and a sign that more Republican policymakers have recognized the significant threat posed by the prevalence of ideologies such as critical race theory in our society’s key institutions.
But if Republicans are serious about this fight, they need to recognize an important and uncomfortable reality: woke ideology is now embedded within the very DNA of the federal bureaucracy. It increasingly guides day-to-day decisions on everything from health care to transportation, weaponizing government to divide America’s into "oppressor" and "oppressed" and to punish them according to their identity.
How should policymakers approach this problem?
First, they must understand that ending the threat of a woke and weaponized government will require more than simply eliminating a few line items in the budget or repealing a few executive orders. Instead, it will require dismantling and radically transforming large parts of the federal bureaucracy and ripping these toxic ideologies root and branch out of our government.
A recent executive order by President Biden that places "racial equity" at the center of federal agency policymaking demonstrates the scale of the challenge.
The order requires all agencies to produce "equity action plans," create "agency equity teams" within each federal department, and enact policies with the goal of "delivering equitable outcomes." In translation: Executive Order 14091 creates a woke commissar corps across the federal government that would implement discriminatory policies targeting disfavored racial groups – mostly Whites and Asians – in the name of social justice.

It will take more than just a bold Republican president to stop this rot.
Too late. They already have their hooks in and not a single Republican has the guts to stop it.
“Woke” is a growth industry within FedGov, funding well-paid federal jobs and big money federal contracts. That’s why it’s spreading like malignant Stage 4 cancer.
Republican is not necessarily the opposite of government wokeness..or,just plain old big government.
Republicans are cowards.
The people advancing this nonsense need to be held individually accountable and not allowed to say “I’m just following orders”.

They were always intended to be the next totality of fed employees.
