Full Episode
For years, President Donald Trump has taken aim at diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI.
How do you define DEI? Go ahead. How do you define it?
Diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Okay, yeah, go ahead. And these are policies that were absolute nonsense. I will eliminate all diversity, equity, and inclusion programs across the entire federal government.
DEI programs are meant to help underrepresented groups at work and in school. And not long ago, DEI policies seemed to be everywhere. Lately, though, DEI looks more like an endangered species.
Donald Trump is on the hunt, and he is using every tool that he can to try to really, finally kill DEI.
That's our colleague Chip Cutter.
