Opinion: DEI disobedience triggers Iowa Republicans Screen shot from undercover video broadcast on Fox News, which was reportedly recorded at the University of Iowa.   Buy …

🚨"Diversity, equity and inclusion programs are now against the law at state universities and elsewhere. Republican [Iowa] lawmakers believe supporting students of color and encouraging a diverse student body are tantamount to racism against white guys."

Opinion | DEI isn’t what’s hurting Black people. Racism is. We should all want discrimination to be less of a problem, but the belief that it is diminishing doesn’t seem rooted in empiricism.

"They’ve worked, and not in secret, to make words such as 'critical race theory' and 'diversity,' 'equity' and 'inclusion' toxic; they’ve even laid siege to the word 'woke' and turned it into a slur."

"But it’s not true that DEI efforts are backfiring. What’s true is that people who feel threatened by a more diverse, equitable and inclusive society are firing back."

Did you say “admitted to the bar in 2024?”

The DEI of it all. This is insane.

I agree

Stephen Miller is a Jew who hates like a Nazi, a Goebbels clone physically and ideologically.
He is a profound embarrassment to Jewish people.

Stephen Miller has never been inside of a Texas RH or a Cracker Barrel. If he had, he’d know that most of the people working in and patronizing the place are white. Maybe he doesn’t like that “girls” work there. He probably thinks they are yucky.
