If you haven’t seen–the new administration is calling DEI “illegal discrimination.” Pretty sweeping actions outlined in the Executive Orders of the last two days.
Hearty thanks to all BCCd on this email whose hard work to eliminate discrimination of this type have made this day a reality! Unity and not divisiveness is in our future!
I have linked in the specific OPM memo here for reference if you haven’t seen.
Here is another related Executive Order (embedded in Professor Turley’s article) that is all about “ENDING ILLEGAL DISCRIMINATION AND RESTORING MERIT-BASED OPPORTUNITY“.
Some of our STARRS affiliated lawyers have opined that this order may prohibit Service Academies from discriminating in their admissions processes.
STARRS will be working hard with the White House and especially DOD on any follow orders that may be necessary to ensure clarity–as outlined in the Executive Order on DEI (below) which says in part: “monitor and track agency and department progress and identify potential areas for additional Presidential or legislative action.”
Finally, here is that Executive Order that specifically addresses DEI.
Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing – The White House
All this said and these Executive Orders released–resistance is already showing its subversive head.
