Civil rights advocates may well file suit immediately against the Justice Department to secure an injunction.

    We need to start calling it “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” I know it’s a few extra syllables, but if we can adopt that language and the press can adopt it, then we can press these fucking idiots on which part of it they find criminal.

      It also makes it obvious how stupid a phrase like “do DEI” is.

      This is also why I was never a fan of the Antifa abbreviation. If you’re gonna say you’re anti-anti-fascist, I want you to fully say it.

      They’ll just argue that whatever we name it, its name is unrelated to what it actually does. I can easily see them saying “Just because you call it Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, doesn’t mean it actually does those things.”

    “Criminally Investigate”

    Investigate in a criminal manner

    Yes, sounds about right.

    So your going to file charges against companies if they adhere to something that had been law/government policy for the last decade or more? I would love to hear exactly what charges you’re planning on filing…

      Doesn’t matter. If they have a sympathetic court, they can convict on anything.

        They are claiming that DEI is discriminatory.

    This inherently conflicts with Trump’s instruction to challenge anti-christian bias.

        I would prefer to see them start with Costco because I think Costco would actually fight back and have the means to do it.

        Instead they will probably bully a lot of smaller organizations into scrapping their DEI programs that probably won’t reinstitute those programs when the courts finally do make a decision on it.

          It would’ve probably helped to put this in your original comment.
