Donald Trump in his own words the year in racism and misogyny

And we just clean out that whole thing I don't know, something has to happen, but it's literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything's demolished, and people are dying there, so I'd rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing in a different location where I think they could maybe live in peace for a change.

Trump's Anti-DEI Crusade Is Going to Hit White Men, Too

One of the best-kept secrets about DEI is that it helps men-that includes white men-get into college. If you do not work in admissions, you are likely unaware of this fact, and that's by design; one admissions officer even told The Wall Street Journal it's " higher education's dirty little secret." But it's been true for decades. Women's college enrollment surpassed men's all the way back in 1979, and the gender gap has only widened in the interim.

The DEI whiplash continues

However, this year, the pendulum has swung violently in the opposite direction. Essentially, leadership told many of us to "reword or avoid any mention of DEI," be leery of explicitly mentioning the communities most harmed by inequality or inequity in our work, and avoid citing who is committing the harm out of fear of retribution. Many of us knew the backlash to the media industry's embrace of DEI during the pandemic was brewing.
