Thank you for crystallizing the exact thoughts I have had about this subject. I am so tired of people(men) talking about how great the country was when everyone(women, blacks, others) knew their place and stayed in it.

Great thoughts, Dave. I think that many of those who oppose DEI are simply parroting the “Trump line”, aligning themselves with a so-called leader who consistently demonstrates a total lack of human compassion, empathy, and rational thought. Their cognitive biases, fueled by a narrow and self-serving worldview, often prevent them from recognizing what’s truly reasonable, fair, and just. When asking, “what reasonable person would object to a workforce that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive?”….I think we need to face the uncomfortable reality that many of these individuals may not even be capable of discerning reason at all, at least on this subject. Their opposition is rooted in ignorance and a refusal to acknowledge the systemic inequalities that DEI aims to address, and no amount of rational debate will change their deeply entrenched, prejudiced mindset.
