Seems like they've made diversity a loaded term.
A bad word.
A bad word.
The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice is trying to tackle things that we, for so many years, if not generations, took as prized values, ensuring we have diverse workforces, ensuring we have diverse communities,
voices in positions of power.
The Trump administration is trying to roll that back.
And I'll add this footnote.
And I know you have unique equity in this.
The assistant attorney general for civil rights is a terminally online person, somebody who is tweeting at every hour of the day.
And that level of knuckleheadery does not go over well with some Americans or people who have knowledge of the civil rights division.
as a prized historic part of America.
They came to be in the 1960s during the Civil Rights Movement.
They may want the Assistant Attorney General less in front of a Twitter account and more out there serving Americans.
All that notwithstanding, if you've got a Department of Justice that is trying to mechanize its leverage to go after things that ensure diversity in American institutions, what does that leave you with?
a monolithic voice in positions of power, which serves to nobody's interest in ensuring that everybody's included.
They've done that so far.
In several occasions in the last few weeks, Don, things filed by the Trump administration, be it civil rights or the criminal division, that's a firewall that we've seen where judges have said, no, this doesn't work.
This isn't going to fly with me no matter what political arguments or online arguments you make.
But you know what?
The other like.
