Donald Trump Pledges to Eliminate ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ After SCOTUS Strikes Down Affirmative Action
Breitbart ^ | 30 Jun 2023 | JORDAN DIXON-HAMILTON

Former President Donald Trump pledges to eliminate all “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” (DEI) programs across the federal government to “rigorously enforce” the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down affirmative action in college admissions, according to prepared remarks obtained by Breitbart News.

On Thursday, the Court held that racial preferences in college admissions violate the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.

As Breitbart News reported:

While the Fourteenth Amendment applies only to state governments — which includes state and local public universities — Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 also extends racial discrimination to institutions that accept federal tax money, such as in grants and tuition aid. That applies to almost every private university.

Students For Fair Admission filed a number of lawsuits against public and private schools. The Supreme Court eventually took two of them: a challenge to the admissions policy of the University of North Carolina (UNC) under the Fourteenth Amendment and a challenge to Harvard’s policy under Title VI.

The Supreme Court held 6-3 that UNC’s policy is unconstitutional and held the same regarding Harvard’s policy by a 6-2 vote. (Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recused herself from the Harvard case.) Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, joined by all the conservative and moderate justices.

Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett, who Trump appointed, sided with the majority.

Trump’s pledge to eliminate DEI policies will come during his speech at the annual Moms for Liberty summit.

We’re going to need a civil war to undo the damage and punish those who deserve it. So, nothing will change.

These three terms have never been proven as beneficial. They’re just loose terms structured to produce a specified end.

By eliminating Inclusion you actually eliminate exclusion.

Trump is jumping on the band wagon. There are videos of him in an earlier interview saying that he strongly supports Affirmative Action. Now that the winds are blowing the other way Trump has reversed course.

A do-nothing directive affecting only the State Department, two weeks before the election, after it came up as a debate issue. That pretty much screams, “INSINCERE POLITICAL MANEUVER!!!” You want me to be impressed that it took Trump FOUR YEARS to tell his OWN AMBASSADORS to quit teaching America’s a fundamentally evil, racist place, not even referencing DEI at all.

So DeSantis stole this from Trump, like everything else that phony poser does.

And the best part is DeSoros screwed his chances for ‘28.
