The list of corporations quitting the racial and sexual extortion rackets known as diversity, equity, and inclusion continues to grow. It now includes Ford Motor Company, Harley-Davidson, Lowe’s, Brown-Forman, which makes Jack Daniels, John Deere, Molson-Coors, and Tractor Supply. But academia and the Biden-Harris administration refuse to budge.
For these parts of the non-corporate world, it’s still 2020, and the sins of white supremacy, systemic racism, heteronormativity, ableism, climate change, and settler colonialism must still be expiated.

It was akin to the realization of author Ibram X. Kendi’s dream of a totalitarian “Department of Antiracism.”
The executive order made clear that the administration’s actions were a response to the Black Lives Matter riots that had roiled the country for the previous seven months.
“Our country faces converging economic, health, and climate crises that have exposed and exacerbated inequities, while a historic movement for justice has highlighted the unbearable human costs of systemic racism,” it said.
This is why the administration is now ordering NASA to include DEI litmus tests when requesting funding.
“Some NASA science research opportunities are piloting the addition of a required inclusion plan to help sustain positive, inclusive working environments on proposal teams and support the full participation and contribution of team members,” NASA told Fox News Digital. » Read More
