Exciting news in 2024: The downfall of DEI
DEI is facing doubts about its continued ascendancy after being exposed as poisonous hokum.
The $8 billion spent annually on DEI training sessions has perpetuated the divisive narrative of victimhood or oppression based on race or gender.
The DEI mindset has permeated human resources departments and college campuses with its racialist hectoring that stifles dissent.
Research has shown that DEI can create negative feelings and fear of speaking out.
A recent study by the Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University Social Perception Lab revealed how DEI amplifies perceptions of prejudicial hostility and punitive responses to imaginary prejudice.
The study’s findings suggest that DEI is successful in creating illiberal racial paranoia.
Moreover, the study showed that exposure to DEI material influenced students to view scenarios through a discriminatory lens, even when no bias was present.
Reports have indicated that university initiatives like the University of Michigan’s decade-long DEI program have failed to improve campus climate or foster a sense of belonging among students.
There is a growing trend of companies like Walmart pulling back on DEI initiatives, signaling a potential decrease in the influence of DEI in corporate America.
The halt to DEI practices would prevent unnecessary conflict and suspicion, curbing the undue power given to those promoting falsehoods about American society.
DEI has been tried and now its dismal results are becoming evident. It is time to reconsider its impact on our collective life.
