Recent legislative actions across the United States have sparked significant debate and backlash regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies in higher education and other sectors. The NAACP has initiated a boycott in Florida in response to universities removing their DEI offices and staff, following a law that bans DEI policies in higher education. Similar legislative efforts have been observed in other states, with Kentucky passing a bill to shut down DEI offices at public universities and bar degree requirements that include courses containing 'discriminatory concepts.' This move aligns with actions in over 30 states that have introduced bills to ban or limit DEI initiatives during the current legislative session. Additionally, there's a growing trend of anti-DEI bills, with 80 such bills now tabled in 23 states, nine of which have become law. This legislative pushback is part of a broader debate on the role and implementation of DEI in education, government agencies, and workplaces, with critics arguing that DEI practices may be manipulative or grounded in divisive premises.

There’s something even more extreme than DEI: DEIJ. The J stands for JUSTICE. @TuftsUniversity has "put a lot of effort into educating faculty in the DEIJ domain" which includes a program on "unpacking whiteness". DEIJ is also taught @NorthwesternU, @MIT & @IndianaUniv to name… https://t.co/bo3tiFbMLH
Emmitt Smith, Steve Spurrier, UF President Ben Sasse (and the NAACP} aren't exactly helping embattled Gators coach Billy Napier. Also, how UCF and FSU - unlike UF - avoided the criticism of eliminating their diversity departments. Here's my column: https://t.co/4CPzo7Y748
