Yeah, that's why the whole Trump program to "Report any suspected DEI hires" is so scary.
It's straight up a call to report any ~~jews~~ transpeople to the secret police.
Though I wonder what they would have done if they found any "DEI Material", especially since it's hard to quantify.
Where I work we have instructions on the walls to legal immigrants warning them that discrimination is illegal and what their supervisor is and is not allowed to do. The rules apply to everyone, but the way they're written it sounds like they're ESPECIALLY there to make sure folks from out of town don't get lied to about what the laborforce is REALLY like.
Would that count as DEI? I don't know, I'd assume so because it makes reference to people who aren't male or white and that's all "DEI" seems to mean.
It doesn't actually qualify as DEI, but it's not like definitions have ever mattered. Trump got rid of the (first female) commandant of the USCG, presumably because she's a woman, or maybe because she went after sex offenders. To my knowledge, she wasn't a DEI hire or anything. She earned that position, as much as anyone has.
And even if she was a DEI hire she probably would have qualifications for the job because the point of DEI is to hire diverse similarly qualified workers. Trump pretends that DEI just means anyone who is not a white male is a DEI hire
Yep, and seeing as the USCG has been able to actually reach recruitment goals in the modern day, it probably worked great to get people into it.
It could also be the 20 years of pointless war that made people not want to join other branches though, while the Coast Guard has a very different mission. It could possibly have nothing to do with her, but I'm sure it played some role.
They added the
Aletter for "Accomodations", so the disabled is also getting this treatment.Accomodations? That's not good
