What Happened to the EndDEI government Website?

http://www.enddei.ed.gov/ ^

It weas abused by Marxists.

This was launched to much fanfare and hoopla. See for example:

Interesting.

The Dept of Ed has an article which includes the END DEI link here:
https://www.ed.gov/about/news/press-release/us-department-of-education-launches-end-dei-portal

Note that at the bottom of the ed.gov page, there’s contact information which you might use to ask them directly.

When I clicked the END DEI link, my browser warned me that it’s not a secure link, HTTP instead of HTTPS, so information entered may be exposed. I ignored that warning and proceeded to the page where I received an unfamiliar error message indicating the front end of the webpage was missing (Azure?) and to contact administrator. I don’t know if malcontents in the .gov are simply ‘allowing’ technical problems to prevent END DEI from working. If so, you’d think someone would notice that the website is not accepting new reports. If you decide to use the contact info on the ED.GOV page, I hope you might post an update

here is the eo. should give some ammunition.

In looking at the website: https://enddei.ed.gov I see the following screens:

And opening it to examine it, shows this:

I am not an expert on this, but I have some exposure to it. In looking at this, it may be as simple as a server administrator not creating or installing the certificate correctly, or it could be something more nefarious.

It could be someone who has authorized access to the server mangling the certificate deliberately in such a way that it scares off people.

The "enddei.ed.gov" indicates it is official, and part of the Department of Education, so...it is possible there is internal sabotage by disgruntled Leftists there, which it is no doubt filled with by a vast majority.

Any Freepers out there have more focused knowledge of these types of things?

[rlmorel]

Hi ransomnote, you appear to have some knowledge about this kind of thing-is internal sabotage a possibility?

I would like to think it is a simple error in either creation or installation of the certificate, but...with the amount of angry and lawless Leftists there, I can’t rule out sabotage.

Or am I completely off base here?

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

Right. I am thinking the DNS servers might have blocked this.

I mean the left has tried to KILL the President and succeeded in killing JFK, is there anything we would put past them?

[PeterPrinciple]

My school is having us fill out DEI paperwork and I’d like to report it.

keep up the good work and keep informed.

may all of us go and do likewise.....................

I’m not that technical, so I’m just guessing here, but websites require maintenance and it looks like this one has been neglected, or altered to look like it’s been neglected. But clearly it’s not collecting data and I would wonder why no one is in charge of collecting and responding to DEI reports, so they don’t notice the collection page is unavailable.

[rlmorel]

Sigh. I did not believe in the JFK conspiracy because emotionally, I simply didn’t want to.

I did not believe that a Ticonderoga class cruiser full of sailors like me shot down TWA Flight 800 because I could not imagine they could keep a ship full of sailors “like me” quiet about it.

But I have had to face the fact after the Obama and Biden Presidencies, and the Deep State actions in Trump’s first term, that our government is fully willing to do these kinds of things, and it has forced me to recalculate my premises.

[rlmorel]

Right. I know that the server certificates need to be created and updated now on ever more frequent schedules, and it could be simple neglect or error, but I can’t rule out malfeasance, either.

[AbolishCSEU]

The taxpayer funded check cleared. We are paying for our own demise. Similar to the western society’s “family” court system where fathers pay the mother to sue him for more money and withhold access to his children.

[rlmorel]

That is, to me, one of the most infuriating things. That our own money, hard earned, that we pay in taxes, has been flagrantly used by organizations such as USAID with no fear of exposure to fund the demise of our own country.

Astonishing. I still cannot grasp it fully.

They changed the URL but didn’t set up a redirect.

It went from

https://ed.gov/

To

https://www.ed.gov/

They added the WWW...

see #16... :)

[Openurmind]

I got it... :)

[rlmorel]

So, it appears it could be a configuration error.

Before I saddle someone with the accusation of a deliberate action to sabotage, I try to keep in mind all the times I had to troubleshoot these things, and the associated head-scratching amongst knowledgeable people in doing so before we resolved an issue.

These things are so weirdly convoluted.

It is hosted on AT&T servers so it is a wonder it still works at all.
