The article discusses the ongoing struggle against the anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives spearheaded by the Trump administration. Critics argue that institutions like the University of Pennsylvania are superficially complying with directives while professional antiracists resist losing their influence. The article emphasizes that this battle over diversity ideology is just beginning. Additionally, it cites views that challenge the belief that cuts to the National Institutes of Health will devastate biomedical research, arguing that private sector innovation has historically been crucial to advancements, exemplified by the case of mRNA vaccine development.
