In the chaos and frenzy of the federal government response to Donald Trump’s order to eliminate all DEI policies, officials are taking extreme measures just to be on the safe side. In fact they are erasing any and all contributions made by women or people of color.
TCinLA
reported Friday that the National Cryptological Museum at Fort Meade, Maryland,
had taped sheets of brown paper over plaques celebrating women and people of
color who had served in the National Security Agency.
During WWII
the US Army Signals Intelligence Service had been trying for 18 months to break
the Japanese code. Genevieve Grotjan, a mathematician working for the SIS, made
a discovery in September 1940 that cracked the code and helped to win the war.
Her plaque read in part “Genevieve Grotjan’s contribution to the Allied victory
cannot be measured, especially in the number of lives saved”. This was one of
the plaques covered over with brown paper.
Trump’s excuse
for eliminating DEI policies is to reverse unfair hiring practices in the
federal government that discriminate against white males. In practice it doesn’t
look like that at all. It looks, at least to me, more like misogyny and racism
in action.
I ran out
of time today so this is a short post. TCinLA puts out 3 or 4 posts a day with
8 to 12 items in each. And he can’t keep up with the Firehose.

And another post today on anti-DEI by Carron J. Phllips published by the Contrarian. Phillips makes the case that acronyms and words like DEI, BLM and woke are dog whistles for Black Americans. He then quotes Van Lathan on a recent podcast: “The belief that every single thing that goes wrong in American or world society is because white straight males aren’t in charge is a religious endeavor. It takes faith and belief and total capitulation to white supremacy to believe that.”

And one more, Jamelle Bouie makes a convincing argument that anti-DEI has nothing to do with merit.

Best suggestion yet. When Trump orders all DEI removed, go through the entire document and remove all ds, es, and is
ReplyDeleteHere is an article from the Guardian exposing the racist, specifically anti-Black, nature of the anti-DEI movement. In effect, DEI has become the new N-word.
