This is an interesting observation. Democrats have been oddly quiet about Trump's order to shut down DEI offices.
The idea of DEI is right, not wrong*, but then people sometimes get carried away and do nutty stuff. And it's quite doubtful that organizations need to have "DEI czars", with all that entails, at the senior executive level.
Maybe our very own DEI poster movielover would like to weigh in here?
* my biggest concern about DEI is defining "equity"
Because conservative white men miss the good old days when they could tell sexist, racist, and/or homophobic jokes at work and elsewhere in public with impunity.
And whining about "political correctness " is so 1990s. So now we have "woke".
