The Attack Against DEI

The Trump administration's three executive orders targeting diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) initiatives take a "shock and awe" approach that upends longstanding, bipartisan federal policy meant to open doors that had been unfairly closed. In his first few days, President Donald Trump is undertaking a deliberate effort to obfuscate and weaponize civil rights laws that address discrimination and ensure everyone has a fair chance to compete, whether it's for a job, a promotion, or an education.

More

More broadly, the orders seek to intimidate all employers -- ranging from private organizations and federal contractors and grantees to state and local entities -- into abandoning DEIA initiatives, using vague and threatening language to create fear of enforcement actions. The strategy is clear: Bully everyone into dropping programs that ensure equitable workplaces by falsely equating diversity efforts with discrimination.

Diversity?

Equality?

Inclusion?

And here I thought we held those rights to be Self Evident!

If those rights were so damn Self Evident then we wouldn't need no stinkin DEI, Affirmative Actions or Equal Rights amendments.

Regardless, will have none of that Self Evident rights crap in Trumplandia.

All your rights will now come from Trumpy.

Given the list of people angry here, and with nothing but insults and no argument... safe to assume Trump did the right thing here.

I mean anything that can rile up Legally so much is okay in my book.

What is it like to have a consummate liar do your thinking for you?

DEI was just a good faith effort to level the playing field. Nothing more.

Trump is appealing to whiny little punks who can't cut it without "White Privilege". They want the easy hires to whites. They want the "others" to keep in the background.

Having to actually compete on an even basis is what they resent.

Trump is Resentment Incarnate. It's his Superpower.

Whiny little entitled Punks begging for special treatment.

They criticize it in others but want it for themselves.

"DEI was just a good faith effort to level the playing field. Nothing more."

Which failed to do so. most studies found that it made things worse. Just like most far left initiatives, well intentioned but never accounts for other possible outcomes, many of which are foreseeable.

Then when you choose not do double and triple down on bad policy, they play the race card or throw out some other -ist -ic or -ism at you.

- most studies found that it made things worse.

Another Trump lie that you believe anyway.

"According to research and expert opinions, DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives generally have a positive impact, making things better by creating more inclusive workplaces, improving employee morale, boosting innovation, and potentially leading to better financial performance for companies that prioritize them;

however, the effectiveness of DEI programs depends heavily on proper implementation and addressing systemic issues rather than just surface-level changes."

Teaching white and Asian kids to hate themselves and teaching black and brown kids to hate white kids. Sounds great to me. /. snark
