“Under President Trump, the EPA will be focused on our core mission to protect human health and the environment, while Powering the Great American Comeback,” EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin wrote in a statement. “The previous Administration used DEI and Environmental Justice to advance ideological priorities, distributing billions of dollars to organizations in the name of climate equity. This ends now. We will be good stewards of tax dollars and do everything in our power to deliver clean air, land, and water to every American, regardless of race, religion, background, and creed.”

Whatever that girl is doing I’m sure is nothing but “busy” work. 0 accomplished except that she “feels good” about herself.

I’m getting the idea there will be an uptick in unemployment among well-paid black women this year.

(Unless they are simply re-titled and reassigned within their organizations.)

That would be fine, but not if she is spending our tax dollars to do that.

DEI doesn’t necessarily make them unqualified. I would make them go through interviews against new applicants for the same position.
