On Wednesday, Republicans introduced a bill that Prohibition of diversity, equality and inclusion practices in the federal government and for federal contractors.
The Abolish DEI lawintroduced by Senator JD Vance (R., Ohio) and Representative Michael Cloud (R., Texas), would also ban the employ of federal grants for diversity initiatives, cutting off a key source of funding for DEI programs in science and medicine. Other provisions would prevent accreditation agencies from requiring DEI in schools and prevent national securities associations such as NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange from implementing diversity requirements for corporate boards.
“The DEI agenda is a destructive ideology that breeds hatred and racial division,” Vance told the Washington Free Beacon“It has no place in our federal government or anywhere else in our society.”
To put it simply, these programs not only violate the principle of equal treatment under the law by forcing federal agencies to apply preferential hiring practices to select groups that have nothing to do with the job itself but rather with specific, irrelevant characteristics of the applicants, they can actually pose a danger to the country if implemented in institutions such as the military.

There is little doubt that these practices harm the agencies in which they are applied.
Out of NASA and that National Science Foundation for the Tax authority and that United States Armyall federal agencies require some form of diversity training. In mandatory workshops, tax collectors were taught about “cultural inclusion,” military commanders about male pregnancy, and nuclear engineers about the “roots of white male culture,” which – according to one Training For example, at Sandia National Laboratories, an offshoot of the Department of Energy that develops the American nuclear weapons arsenal, the prerequisites for developing nuclear weapons include a “can-do attitude” and “hard work.”
Is it too much to ask that military commanders in particular not have to deal with the nonsense about “male pregnancy”? Shouldn’t they be concentrating on finding bad guys and killing them? Or, as was the case not so long ago, surrounding the enemy and destroying them with fire, maneuver and shock effects?
What benefit does it bring to the country if nuclear engineers are educated in the “roots of white male culture,” which apparently includes a “can-do attitude” and “hard work”? People with this attitude are exactly the people we want to have overseeing and maintaining our nuclear arsenal. And it doesn’t matter at all how much melanin they have or whether they are preparers or supervisors.
Fortunately, at least outside the federal government, these practices seem to be giving way to some semblance of sanity—or at least turning against DEI advocates.

Unfortunately, the Vance Cloud bill will not advance as long as the Senate and White House are in Democratic hands. After all, Democrats are the primary transmitters of the DEI virus. But it’s still worth working on, and the current situation won’t last forever. As a campaign ploy, this isn’t the worst, it helps the right portray DEI as a waste of money, and provides a platform of sorts to point out the dangers to national security that arise when this horse-press approach is applied to things like military promotions. Enough is enough.
