House Democrats call on companies to retain DEI program
The Hill ^ | 10/15/2024 | Sarah Fortinsky

Posted on 10/15/2024 12:52:29 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Forty-nine House Democrats signed an open letter to Fortune 1,000 chief executives asking them to affirm their commitment to their workplace equality initiatives, amid heightened backlash and legal challenges to the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs.

“We write to call on you to reject division and continue supporting programs, policies, and initiatives that give everyone a fair chance at achieving the American Dream,” read the Tuesday letter, led by Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.).

Garcia and his colleagues made the case that supporting programs that foster inclusion is smart for business, since, the lawmakers said in the letter, if the companies abandon their DEI programs, “Undoubtedly, this will lead many communities to seek their products, services, and employment elsewhere.”

Black brothers are mad at Obama. Kamala is not winning. DEI is almost dead.

The reality is the DEI “programs” that are being removed are the visual ones. The DEI nonsense remains active behind the scenes. But that’s not good enough for the liberals.

Sick sh*t...

Anyone supporting anything about DEI should be publicly mocked and scorned.

DEI is illegal based on fiduciary responsibility to maximize shareholder value. It does the opposite. CEOs who implement it should be arrested and charged with theft.

The “American Dream” is now defined as incompetence with no emphasis on merit or competence. Let every person be a brain surgeon or airline pilot whether they have the competence and brain power or not. It is OK for lots of people to die to achieve DEI as ignorant, minority morons will be the cause of many unnecessary deaths of innocents across America.

From productive people to House Democrats: Shove DEI up your lazy asses. We have work to do.

Not only do you still need to hire enough quality employees, you have to hire the affirmative action employees as well as more quality employees to monitor them. It is like the Secret Service needed a larger budget because they had more dead wood.

"... continue supporting programs, policies, and initiatives that give everyone a fair chance at achieving the American Dream"

To do that requires killing DEI.
