Congressional Republicans have introduced a bill to ban diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs and funding in the federal government.

The Dismantle DEI Act, introduced Wednesday by Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), would eliminate all federal DEI programs and end DEI-related funding for agencies, contractors, organizations and educational accreditation agencies that receive federal funding.

“The DEI agenda is a destructive ideology that breeds hatred and racial division,” Vance said in a statement. “It has no place in our federal government or anywhere else in our society. I’m proud to introduce this legislation, which would root out DEI from our federal bureaucracy by eliminating such programs and stripping funding for DEI policies anywhere it exists. Americans’ tax dollars should not be co-opted to spread this radical and divisive ideology — this bill would ensure they are not.”

This is needed, and has been for a long time.
I hope they fight for it.
The more this is publicized, the better it will work in their favor. Most people do not pay much attention to ‘Bills proposed’. Don’t let this one wither and die on the vine.

And doing this now is useful in what way?

No chance the Senate will pass this. If some miracle happened and they did pass it, the vegetable will veto it.

I guess it's to be used against dems who vote against it?

Nearly the entire federal government is little more than a jobs program for useless people

Doubt if Schumer will even allow it to come to floor for a vote.

Just because something may not pass isn't a reason why it shouldn't be put forward. Force them to vote against and it creates exposure of where they really stand. Force congress critters to defend how they vote.
