The Charlie Kirk Shuffle: false idol

AI Overview
DEI offices are being closed across the U.S. at both public universities and federal agencies, most notably due to a federal mandate under the new Trump administration in 2025 and new state laws passed in 2024 and 2025. Some private companies have also scaled back or ended their DEI programs.
Federal government
Immediately after taking office in January 2025, President Trump signed executive orders targeting DEI within the federal government.
All federal DEI employees were placed on paid leave, and agencies were ordered to close their DEI offices by the end of January 2025.
The FBI officially shut down its Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in December 2024, in anticipation of the new administration.
Higher education
Anti-DEI legislation in several states has directly led to the closure of diversity offices and the dismantling of programs at public colleges and universities.
States with recent legislative action affecting DEI offices include:
Alabama: In 2024, a state law was passed banning DEI programs at public colleges. The University of Alabama and other institutions subsequently closed their DEI offices.
Arkansas: A new law signed in early 2025 banned affirmative action and led to the closure of DEI offices at public colleges and agencies.
Florida: Following legislation in 2023, the State Board of Education banned the use of federal or state funds on DEI initiatives at public colleges and universities in January 2024. This has resulted in universities like the University of Florida eliminating DEI positions.
Idaho: In December 2024, the State Board of Education approved a ban on DEI student success centers, offices, and initiatives at public institutions.
Iowa: In 2024, a state law banned DEI offices at public universities, and a bill was introduced in March 2025 to extend these restrictions to community colleges.
Kansas: A 2024 law prohibits public schools from giving preferential treatment based on political ideology or requiring diversity statements.
Ohio: Following a federal directive in early 2025, Ohio State University announced it would close two campus offices focused on DEI, eliminate 16 staff positions, and "reimagine" how diversity work is done.
Texas: A 2024 law banned DEI offices at public universities. As a result, schools like the University of Texas have closed their DEI offices.
Wyoming: In May 2024, the University of Wyoming closed its Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Private companies
A number of private companies have scaled back or eliminated aspects of their DEI initiatives in 2024, often citing legal risks or shifting priorities.
Examples include:
Amazon: Scaled back DEI hiring programs and reevaluated employee resource group (ERG) funding in December 2024.
Ford: Stopped participating in external diversity surveys and evolved its ERGs in August 2024.
Harley-Davidson: Disbanded its DEI function in April 2024.
John Deere: Axed "cultural awareness" events in July 2024.
Lowe's: Ended its DEI programming in August 2024.
Walmart: Announced in late 2024 that it would cease several DEI initiatives, including racial equity training.

Making factual information available to women when it's ...
No, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) has not disappeared, but it is evolving and facing challenges, including a decrease in dedicated DEI roles and a rebranding of initiatives. While some companies are reducing overt DEI efforts due to political pressure, backlash, and government scrutiny, the core work of building representative workforces and inclusive cultures continues, with many executives reporting continued or increased commitment to DEI principles.

Pesky details.

MAGATs and Trump can only think ahead to their next bucket of KFC. CEOs, on the other hand, must think long term. They know that this bigotry-fueled RW war on DEI is just a temporary blip. They intend to continue their DEI practices in anticipation to a return to sanity.

Yale is ranked number one in Law Schools and Harvard is ranked 6th. If Harvard lawyers are about the same as Harvard doctors I'm not impressed with Harvard credentials. I know Yale is good because the Federal Judge my wife worked for was sharp as a tack and he went to Yale on a Bass scholarship and Yale is consistently ranked number one.

Kenja Brown is the dumbest Justice on the Supreme Court. The other justice don't respect her

Yale also shares the number one position with Stanford. I sense you don't like Harvard for political reasons, not because they're a bad law school.
Gorsuch, Roberts and Scalia all went to Harvard Law. Harvard has had twice the number of justices as Yale. Thomas went to Yale and so did Sotomayor, another woman you don't think much of. Btw, Harvard's also been ranked as a #1 law school at various times

I'm sure the conservative justices don't like KBJ because she's not afraid to speak out, ask tough questions, or publicly criticize their dumb opinions.

Your story about the federal judge is purely anecdotal. It doesn't prove that good justices can't come from other law schools.

I wonder when they have my life in their hands. If a mechanic screws up I can go to another or buy a different car if it is a professor I always can drop the class if they are doing a poor job. I had a chemistry class that was being taught by a Chinese teaching assistant who visibly got upset if you asked a question and occasionally would start writing in Chinese then erase and write in English. I dropped the class because it was wasting my time. But once you are flying 600 feet in the air in an aluminum tube I like knowing the pilot got there by his or hers own merit.

You still haven't understood the assignment, lol. Starting over... Kirk said when he has a black pilot on his flight, he wonders if the person is qualified, and you agreed. I asked at what point on the employment/education scale do you, as a maga, start to question if an employee is a DEI hire. Let's say the scale goes from burger flipper to brain surgeon. Which job that a minority has is the tipping point for you, where you question the credentials.

There are fewer stay at home DADS because most men are the primary bread winner. So there are more stay at home moms and women tend to go into and out of the work force. Plus men will do nasty dirty and dangerous jobs that few women will do.

You view of gender roles is way outdated. In today's world men are not necessarily the primary breadwinner; according to a Pew Research poll, only 55% are. You think being the breadwinner is the reason, while I think that very few men WANT to be the stay-at-home dad. Also, how many dirty and dangerous jobs are there compared to the general run of jobs? And how many of them have been replaced by automation?

In a Growing Share of U.S. Marriages, Husbands and Wives Earn About the Same

Among married couples in the U.S., women’s financial contributions have grown steadily over the last half century. Even when earnings are similar, husbands spend more time on paid work and leisure, while wives devote more time to caregiving and housework.

Just remember folks, last month our Congress passed (with votes from Democrats and Republicans) a bill that will make Oct. 14 a national "remembrance" day for Charlie Kirk .... the assassinated MAGA/ALT-Right blowhard who made a career trying to intellectually justify racism, sexism and a theocratic government. Remember this when some politico wonk carries on about "American exceptionalism". As the old Chinese curse goes, we are living in interesting times. God help us all. 🫤

Of course, like minded bigots and racists don't see what that seal-headed blowhard bull horned was steeped in bigotry, racism and misogyny. Fortunately, history (as the rest of the world knows) tells a different story: www.x.com/i/grok/share/LkG4IF38JYFfS0fv062viIgZ4

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Hate filled cocksucker thinks it's safe to openly spew his hate again.

Charlie Kirk dealt with those who disagreed with him by handing them the mic to explain their position.

So you killed him for it - because that's what leftists do.

Ah yes to electoral college votes indicate popularity.

Are you okay?

I have stated several times that they do not. What they show is who lost and how close the election was.

In reality, the person you think is better was so unpopular she lost to an unpopular felon.

Your words. This person you think was so amazingly qualified was so disliked by the voters of every state that she even lost the "popular vote"... to a felon. I cannot stress it enough. Trump, the unpopular felon, won 31 out of 51 elections (51 includes the DC 3 electoral college votes in their election from the 23rd Amendment). That is 61% of the vote that makes somebody President.
