With the advent of the Trump Administration, wokeness in general and DEI in particular are being eradicated, not only in the federal government but in schools and universities across the country. Seeing the trend, and the damage to profitability, businesses across the nation are also eliminating policies and personnel that less than a year ago were said to be essential elements to business success and a just society. It turns out they weren’t all that essential after all. Still, DEI and its gravy train-riding, low-producing adherents, aren’t going away quietly or easily. Many organizations in the private sector and in...
