DEI’s new stages of maturation have now proven its unconstitutionality to be a real danger, and in so doing offered the courts that much greater a justification for its end.
Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr coined the phrase, «The more things change, the more they stay the same.» There is a truism here involving Democrats.
America is changing dramatically under President Donald Trump, but Democrats’ lawfare strategy remains the same. I suspect it will fare as badly in the future as it did in the past.
One of their over 60 lawsuits has piqued my interest. It challenges Trump’s executive orders ending Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility (DEIA), and Affirmative Action (AA) in federal programs. The implications of these orders may change the landscape in every sector of America.
A hodgepodge of leftist organizations were behind this lawsuit: the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education, the American Association of University Professors, Restaurant Opportunities Centers United, and the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore.
According to the plaintiffs, the executive orders «Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs» and «Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity») somehow violate their free speech and due process rights by halting the gravy train that helped feed their billion-dollar industry.
