As the Trump Administration begins their warpath against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, most people are getting on board. After four years of essentially re-creating racial discrimination in the workplace, companies have started pulling their DEI programs back or eliminating them altogether. The days of hiring based on race instead of merit have finally come to an end.
A new survey says that 51-percent of executives are considering DEI rollbacks. That is a huge number, considering you could not escape DEI pushes for the last number of years. But it is true. Multiple big-time companies, like Paramount and Target, have all started easing back and returning to a normal, merit-based work environment.
John Ellis of the University of California-Santa Cruz says as President Trump continues bringing the hammer down, that 51-percent might go even higher.
"It is illegal now to discriminate against any group of people for any group of people," he says. "There are a few notable holdouts...but I would expect they will have to follow the law sooner or later."
Just this week, Apple decided they will be keeping their initiatives in place. They are following other behemoths like Google and YouTube in resisting the new laws at every turn.
At the start though, before the insanity, DEI was not necessarily a terrible idea. It aimed at giving minorities more opportunities to access scholarships, and things like that. On the surface, that is not bad. But when the ideology devolved into complete racial hatred of white people, and blaming white people for every problem, the idea went from reasonable to flat out stupidity.
The longer is stayed around too, the deeper into the abyss it went, and the more it rubbed people the wrong way. Universities have also been a huge proponent of these initiatives, and even amid DEI bans, are still finding ways to skirt the law. Notably, the University of Texas and Texas A&M University are guilty of that very thing, basically changing the name of DEI to something else.
"They call it something like 'blossoming and belonging,' keep the same people, do the same things...it will take an earthquake to make those people respect the law," says Ellis.
But that fits right into place as far as the far Left is concerned. Break the law by just calling it something else and still pushing your insane ideas. Just part and parcel of what we have come to expect.
"I think we are going in the right direction...but the center of resistance will be the universities," Ellis says.
Until the rule of law is enforced, and the DEI lunatics are told 'no,' this will continue just under different names. But the new Trump era for America brings hope that is finally coming to an end, and we can start just living normal again.
