The Washington Times: Don't be too sure DEI is DOA

Over the last year, Americans have demonstrated clearly that they’re fed up with DEI, or diversity, equity and inclusion, one of the top mantras of the “woke” politics of the American left. Of late, there has been a lot of high-fiving over the ending of DEI programs at major corporations including Ford, Coors, Lowe’s, Boeing, Walmart, Tractor Supply and even Jack Daniel’s. Some universities are dialing back their allegiance to these policies as well.

Many courageous Americans have made it their mission to expose this systemic discrimination. Many have voted with their wallets and at the ballot box to push back. They took on the DEI complex at great risk to their jobs, reputations and personal lives. But Americans fighting this fight should be careful not to celebrate prematurely. That would be to ignore the designs and patterns of behavior of the left.

The left in this country has had no problem violating the Civil Rights Act by pushing diversity, equity and inclusion. But DEI, of course, is hardly a new phenomenon.
