{UAH} JUST HOW MUCH MONEY GOES INTO DEI? AND WHY DOES IT NEED THAT MUCH?

Friends

 

These are some of the very stupid programs that actually annoy me, is there any black out there that can stand up and tell me the value he got out of this program? And how many didn’t we hear about that are still running? This DEI nonsense has been running in billions of dollars, and that is literally. You cannot account for its achievement, you cannot put a value on it and it only survives for when you touch it the fool that feeds on it stands up to scream in your face how you are anti blacks.

 

Take note. Trump has started to go after it in Government agencies, but do you know the real target? It is Universities and Colleges, and I can assure you that every institution that got money out of this nonsense is going to be targeted and it is going to refund it. Watch how the Department of Justice goes after them. American debt does not grow due to wars, for the country actually makes money out them,  it  grows through such expenses, for today we have no idea how many programs Democrats started, let alone how much money they pocketed into them. DEI is just a start.

During his campaign, President-elect Donald Trump promised to eliminate federal spending on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, reversing course from President Joe Biden, who boosted DEI practices during his presidency.

Trump said he wants to fire DEI government employees and will “direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination.” He also said he would hold universities accountable “that persist in explicit unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity” by fining them the “entire amount of their endowment.”

Vice President-elect JD Vance sponsored the Dismantle DEI Act in the Senate last June “to eliminate all federal DEI programs and funding for federal agencies, contractors which receive federal funding, organizations which receive federal grants, and educational accreditation agencies.”

According to Axios, two first-day issues for Trump will be to “revoke federal DEI requirements” and “terminate federal staffers implementing DEI policies.”

Is DEI still popular in the private sector?

There are still a wide range of views on whether private companies and the federal government should promote DEI. For example, Bill Townsend, CEO and founder of College Rover, told NBC, “The big positive about DEI is that it exposes people to ethnic groups and viewpoints about ethnicities that are different from how they were raised at home.”

“We have to work and live among people who are different from us. DEI helps us manage that dynamic,” he continued. “Getting rid of DEI reinforces the fact that you don’t have to get along with everybody. It shouldn’t be that way.”

On the other hand, The Heritage Foundation claims DEI programs “don’t make people more tolerant of individual differences.”

Harvard public policy professor Iris Bohnet said that although about $8 billion is spent yearly in the U.S. on DEI trainings, “I did not find a single study that found that diversity training in fact leads to more diversity.” Bohnet added, “It is actually very hard to change mind-sets.”

How much does the federal government spend on DEI?

The grassroots organization, Parents Defending Education, released a report mid-December showing that since 2021, the federal government has spent over $1 billion in diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, grants.

Broken down, roughly $490 million went to DEI hiring, $343 million went to DEI programming and $169 million went to DEI based mental health/social emotional learning, according to the report.

In Utah, the Cook Center for Human Connection located in Pleasant Grove received $4 million to serve 25,000 sixth-eighth graders.
