On Trump's first day back in office, he signed an executive order that ends diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the federal government. This move not only terminates numerous DEI positions but extends to corporations and educational institutions receiving federal funding. The article discusses how DEI has become a contentious term, often debated without a common understanding. The lack of a shared definition of "diversity, equity, and inclusion" complicates the discourse, with different factions using the term for varied agendas, illustrating a significant divide in the national conversation about these values.
"The ambition of these anti-DEI efforts mirrors the earlier, heavy-handed push, including by the Biden administration, to embed DEI practices into almost all of America's most important institutions."
"These failures to communicate flow from the fact that DEI has no universal or broadly shared definition. Americans often talk past one another instead of engaging in meaningful discussions about it."
