DEI programs dilute medical education, expert says Over 70 medical schools maintain offices dedicated to “diversity, equity and inclusion” despite federal orders to end such programs, a medical advocacy group found. Do No Harm’s DEI tracker includes schools such as Albany Medical College, Duke University School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Ohio State University College of Medicine, and Stanford University School of Medicine, among several others. The advocacy group began tracking these offices in medical schools after the U.S. Department of Education instructed all institutions of higher education to end racially discriminatory policies in...

President Trump just made one of the biggest moves yet to destroy the left’s most powerful weapon—and hardly anyone is talking about it. It didn’t even make a blip on the media’s radar. With one blistering executive order, Trump took a sledgehammer to the very foundation of the DEI movement. That’s right—47 just gutted the so-called “legal theory” that’s been used for decades to punish businesses, control hiring, and force unfair racial quotas under the phony guise of “civil rights.” This was the left’s top-secret weapon—and it was called “disparate impact”—and until now, it’s been holding America back from greatness....

TORONTO - The Canadian Securities Administrators says it has indefinitely paused work on developing new mandatory climate disclosures and updating diversity reporting rules in response to recent developments in the United States. Stan Magidson, chair of the CSA, says it made the decision to support companies because of the rapid shift in the global economic and geopolitical landscape. He says the regulator will instead focus on making Canadian markets more competitive, efficient and resilient. In recent years, there’s been a push to require companies to report more details on what climate-related risks they face and how they plan to address...

ATLANTA (AP) — The pastor of a Georgia megachurch who led a nationwide 40-day “fast” boycott of Target stores over the retail chain's commitment to diversity initiatives is now calling for that effort to continue as a “full Target boycott.” The Rev. Jamal Bryant said this week that the Minneapolis-based retailer has not met all of the boycott effort's demands. Among them: Restoring its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion principles and pledging money to Black-owned banks and businesses. Target announced in January that it would phase out a handful of DEI initiatives, including a program designed to help Black...

President Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday, revoking an anti-white racist Obama-Biden era school discipline guidance that was issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Education (DOE) in January 2014. The President signed a total of seven new education executive orders relating to college universities, AI in education, and DEI practices in schools. “The Federal Government will no longer tolerate known risks to children’s safety and well-being in the classroom that result from the application of school discipline based on discriminatory and unlawful ‘equity’ ideology,” the order titled “Reinstating Common Sense School Discipline Policies” reads. In...

Anyone who claims DEI is “good business” has got to be one of the most naive individuals to ever walk this earth, as there is no evidence to support such a foolish claim. Nonetheless, Eva Longoria not only believes that to be true, but she also claims this racist hiring practice is a “moral imperative.”

In what many citizens concerned with the survival of Austria as a European nation-state are calling a demographic tipping point, Muslims have now become the largest religious group in Vienna’s compulsory schools, comprising a striking 41.2% of all students across primary, secondary, and vocational education levels. The stark demographic shift has sparked outrage among conservatives and nationally-minded citizens in Austria, with the Freedom Party (FPÖ) warning that the capital is being culturally transformed beyond recognition. “This is no longer immigration. This is displacement,” said Maximilian Weinzierl, national council member and leader of the FPÖ’s youth wing. “41.2% of Muslim students—that’s...

These vacationers really raised the roof — but, no, they weren’t partying. Freaked-out air travelers were forced to hold up the roof of a plane after its interior suddenly caved in during a recent trip from Atlanta to Chicago on April 14. “My homie was on a Delta flight and the ceiling collapsed ... Representatives for Delta Air Lines told The Post, “Delta thanks our customers for their patience and cooperation. We apologize for the delay in their travels.” The spokesperson said that the Boeing 717’s “panel was later affixed into place so customers did not have to manually hold...

Michigan dentist Kent Wildern has filed a lawsuit against Democratic governor Gretchen Whitmer's administration, challenging the state's mandate requiring health care professionals to complete ideological training to keep their licenses. "It is unconstitutional for Michigan to weaponize its licensing powers to force healthcare professionals to choose between their careers and submitting to ideological indoctrination," Wildern's attorney, Wilson Freeman of the Pacific Legal Foundation, wrote in a Tuesday press release. "Moreover, Michigan's mandate for implicit bias training came from an unelected agency rather than the legislature, sidestepping any public debate on the issue," the attorney added. Wildern's lawsuit comes as President...

By now, we all know that DEI isn’t about excellence. It’s not about merit. And it sure as heck isn’t about making anything better. DEI is a movement built on charity, not achievement—and it’s dragging America straight down with it. We’re watching the quality of nearly every major institution collapse under the weight of checked boxes and forced diversity quotas, all thanks to political correctness. The airline industry has become a very dangerous punchline. Under the Biden regime, the military was more about trans rights than military might. And now, even once-trusted names in medicine are trading in their reputations...

Move highlights how legal threats from the Trump administration are discouraging DEI.. Illinois has suspended a minority-only scholarship after the Department of Justice threatened to sue the state, the department said Friday. The department’s move, which came in the wake of a Washington Free Beacon report on the program, is the latest example of how the Trump administration’s legal saber-rattling has deterred the use of racial preferences. The program, which gave minorities financial aid to complete a master's or doctoral degree, was run by the Illinois Board of Higher Education and included some of the top universities in the state,...

*PepsiCo has come under scrutiny after scaling back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, a move that reflects a broader trend among major U.S. companies. Earlier this year, the company announced it would eliminate DEI workforce representation goals and phase out its five-year DEI plan, replacing it with a new “Inclusion for Growth” strategy, The Street reports. PepsiCo said it would broaden its supplier base to support all small businesses, stop conducting surveys focused on single demographic categories, and evaluate sponsorships based on their impact on overall business growth. This change follows President Donald Trump’s executive order banning federal...

KEY POINTS * Target CEO Brian Cornell will meet with civil rights leader the Rev. Al Sharpton to discuss the company’s decision to roll back DEI programs. * The discussion comes as the big box retailer faces calls for a boycott and a slump in foot traffic that began soon after it announced plans to walk away from some DEI initiatives. * Sharpton has not called for a boycott of Target, but said he’ll consider it if the company doesn’t reaffirm its commitment to Black businesses, employees and consumers.

The country’s most privileged private schools canceled their annual diversity, equity and inclusion events after The Post revealed last year’s conference was filled with such rampant “Jew hate” that some students left in tears. The National Association of Independent Schools cited the current “political and legal landscape” when it announced last week its “difficult” decision to pause its People of Color Conference (PoCC) and Student Diversity Leadership (SDLC) Conference. The organization represents 1,300 schools, including the prestigious Dalton, Brearley and Collegiate in New York City. “Amid the rapidly evolving landscape, we are taking time to assess the needs of our...

Trump administration announces freeze in $2.2 billion for Harvard after university rejected request for policy changes

VIDEOI just saw this news broadcast, originally aired a year ago, about a DEI Space Force Colonel. As soon as I saw the Space Force Colonel I had an immediate flashback to a certain role in "Anger Management" which made me wonder if the Space Force Colonel either had a cameo role in that film or has a doppelganger in Hollywood.

DEI: Fort McCoy’s Colonel Sheyla Baez Ramirez refuses to display SecDef and POTUS photographs. When will she be relieved from command?

Hopper clearly stated there are only TWO GENDERS! Thank you, Representative Hopper, for the amendment! TX FIRST! Lara Logan✓ @laralogan This is common sense. The insanity is that this is regarded as controversial at all.

The Pentagon announced Wednesday Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield was fired from her position as U.S. representative to NATO’s military committee “due to a loss of confidence in her ability to lead.” Chatfield, one of only a few female three-star officers in the Navy and the first woman to lead the Naval War College, served in Afghanistan as a helicopter pilot. In her most recent position, she was assigned to the alliance’s nuclear planning group, acting as a liaison between military and political leadership. Texas congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, a persistent critic of the Trump administration, said Chatfield wasn’t fired because...

Both the commanding officer and command master chief of Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron 4, based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, were fired on Friday, the Navy announced. Cmdr. Brett Robblee and Command Master Chief Felix Phillips were relieved “due to a loss of confidence in their ability to perform leadership duties,” a brief Navy news release says.
