Some state lawmakers and companies are preparing to roll back major Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) policies that are present in nearly every major U.S. industry, including the military, according to experts and a Republican attorney general. The DEI topic was back in the news last week due to an intense exchange between lawmakers during a markup of the 'Dismantle DEI' bill in the House. Progressive firebrand Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Tex.
, lambasted a Republican congressman who referred to DEI policies as 'oppression.' 'There has been no oppression for the white man in this country,' Crockett said. 'You tell me which white men were dragged out of their homes. You tell me which one of them got dragged all the way across an ocean and told that you are gonna go work, we are gonna steal your wives, we are gonna rape your wives. That didn’t happen. That is oppression.' The incoming Trump administration will likely target many DEI initiatives. In 2020, then-President Trump issued an executive order to ban 'divisive' training for federal contractors. And the House Oversight Committee held a hearing this week about dismantling DEI policies. 'It is a multibillion-dollar industry that pushes a left-wing, far-left ideological orthodoxy in essentially every area of American life, which is why I've begun to call it the DEI enterprise, instead of just DEI, so that people have a sense of what I'm talking about,' Devon Westhill, constitutional and civil rights attorney, told Fox News Digital in an interview. Westhill, who researches DEI policies at the Center for Equal Opportunity, a Washington, D.C.-based conservative think tank, said DEI isn't interested in 'diversity of thought, true diversity,' but rather, it is 'interested in racial quotas'.
