“DEI must DIE. The point was to end discrimination, not replace it with different discrimination.”
That is what Elon Musk said recently about the so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion” movement that has swept across America in recent years and corrupted core institutions in our country.
Perhaps no institution has been harmed more by DEI initiatives than America’s college campuses.
We see the utter moral bankruptcy in higher education with the spread of antisemitism on college campuses.
The presidents of some of America’s Ivy League universities cannot even say that calls for genocide against Jews amounts to a violation of their codes of conduct.
Make no mistake - this is a direct byproduct of the DEI initiatives that have infected America’s universities.
That’s why I’m fighting back.
I just announced new legislation to halt federal funding to colleges and universities that force students to sign or make DEI statements.
My bill will ban places of higher education from compelling students, staff, or applicants to endorse an ideology that promotes the differential treatment of an individual or group of individuals based on race, color, or ethnicity.
This is what is needed in order to change the culture on college campuses from incubators of woke, progressive, and often antisemetic nonsense to their original purposes of advancing educational excellence.
The rot that we’ve seen spread across America’s universities is a direct result of the heightened focus on DEI in recent years, and it needs to stop.
