Glad to know my tax dollars are getting spent on the new flavor of virtue signaling. Insane this was some super high priority.

Every time they say they're removing "DEI", they really mean they're implementing segregation. Stop sugar coating it. They're trying to erase minorities and women from any mention. That's just the first step.

I'm not familiar with US employment laws (if it's a thing).

In Europe, if given such instructions, the employee could likely refuse to comply. Upon the likely firing, they can easily contest the decision at an employment tribunal, and likely win, regardless of who is president.

In the US, I suppose it would be GTFO, and even more so as the employee is likely a H1B visa holder.

Absurd, comic book villain activity. Who/what does this help?

Maybe I'm out of touch, but aren't women under the 'I' in DEI hires? They are a sub-target of DEI and are not exclusively being targeted?

Mentions of the terms, not the people themselves. What difference does it make what gender or heritage a person has? Shouldn’t it be about science?

Tolerance is not suicide pact, nor is it a moral imperative.

Tolerance is a peace treaty, and only extends to those who participate.

Tolerance is an agreement to live in peace, not an agreement to be peaceful no matter the conduct of others.
