Jay Devineni, right, a student at the University of Missouri School of Medicine, talks with fellow medical school student Supriya Vuda in the hallway of the Missouri Capitol in Jefferson City, Mo., on March 28, 2023. Devineni and Vuda testified against legislation in a Senate committee that would restrict diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in medical schools and among health care providers.
Frustrated by college diversity initiatives he says are “fomenting radical and toxic divisions,” Texas state Rep. Carl Tepper set out to put an end to diversity, equity and inclusion offices in higher education. The freshman Republican lawmaker filed a bill to ban such offices. Three months later, he filed a new version of the legislation doing the same thing. The difference? Tepper switched
Interesting that the AP never analysis dem bills. They never question dems moves. And they never ask what Biden is doing.
This will get interesting… when you remove diversity you base on “perceived” qualifications. Families with resources will produce offspring that have bought “qualifications”… kinda squeezes out people of lower socioeconomic means. But hey… poor white people will see soon…
The equity part is most scary. It destroys merit which is the bedrock of our society.
Find a straight white male DEI officer.
U mean states are stepping in to stop dei madness
And they claim to be Christians
Good. Fake job anyways.
states and colleges even Biden is taking ppl because of their race or idenity and not based on any merrits. They also say the refuse to give quality education because ppl of color find test racist sorry they are not racist and education it not either.
Why are so many in the Left afraid of the concept of merit. Don’t you want the best doctor treating you, your children?
GOP nypost DIE is Discriminatory, Racist & Unfair designed & pushed by corrupt criminal DNC to bribe & corrupt Votebank politics t/f must be Banned as it spreads Discord & Division. Congress must Impeach Unfit Biden to End his deliberate Destructive policies to Divide & Rule!!
The best part is, black people don't want Dei or critical race Theory taught as a whole. It's simply the Liberals and those further left. Problem is that they run our schools unfortunately.
You say this like it's a bad thing
DEI is a scam.
What the fuck does a worker at an office for diversity, equity, and inclusion....do all day?
Supremacists will supremacist.
Limiting CRT and DEI is patriotic. One classifies all of us as victims successors and oppressors and the other is coerced speech/thought. One can grow up to be a good person without either. Every single American has the agency to vote. Stop looking down on minorities.
Good ban it! If 'they' don't like it leave we don't want those ideas!
Seems to me this is treating people differently on their race and gives a fast lane to transracal people who were born white So it's good to get rid of that stuf
The Republican Party: shutting down Democratic de jure racism for 169 years and counting
Base decisions on qualifications.
Good!! it’s haulting many companies from hiring even front line employees b/c they are overpaying these people for a very minimal job. DEI is not helping it’s hurting companies.
Vote vote vote
Good
Employment of specific people, or acceptance to colleges & based on ones skin color, sex orientation, etc. is discrimination. D.iversity I.nclusion E.quity is trash. Call it whatever you want, but its actually racism and socialism and any other ism that you think its preventing.
Should be all 50
Does D E I include white students?
I wonder if the AP will ever do a story on a being a pro conservative cause like they constantly do with pro liberal causes 🤔
See how many affirmative action admissions fail after the 1st year. The problem needs to be solved at K-12.
Bullshyt! If racism isnt systemic why are the whites I mean gop using the legislation to prevent inclusion
Good!
GOOD!
Yay
People won’t like it, but this is the path to true equality. Your race/ethnicity shouldn’t play a factor for anything. Ones talent, skills, & experience should speak for itself
Good.
Affirmative actions is real
Excellent
Alternative Headline: States have begun to deny federal funding to Universities who promote and even require neo-marxist DEI 'education', training and application of racists, marxist identitarian beliefs.
Should be all 50 states
Because while they call themselves diversity and equity and inclusion they do that by excluding others. And there's a sick movement on to build upon that and exclude people even more
You don't get to jump the line. That's equality.
Sounds awesome. Get your commie crap out of the government
DEI is racist.
Vote out every Republican in 2024!
Discrimination based on skin color in things like employment decisions and student admissions is clearly racist, and should have absolutely no place in America.
hiring someone based on their race is racism in and of itself
Hey RadioFreeTom is this more of your disorganized sparkling conservatism?
Good. That grift needs to be abolished
Affirmative action is a policy rooted in racist decision making.
30 is a start...
You can either have 'equality' or you can have 'equity'. They are not the same thing and in fact are polar opposites.
Least shocking thing I’ve seen today.
DEI is a complete sham
Good
🤷♂️🤷♂️
Based bills.
Don’t see an issue with it. Carry on.
So we're going to have DIE states and free states? CivilWar2
As a future old white man, let me just say, I’m sick and tired of old white men too scared of anything that isn’t old and white.
The gradual degeneration of the GOP History
we know lol
The revolution will not be televised.
Republican Fascists.
Nobody cares about “diversity, equity and inclusion” in the sense that the left is portraying we should, mainly because it's being used to divide our society and push a far left agenda that nobody wants.
Freedom of Speech for me, but not for thee.
Racist Right wing Republicons do not want black people to have equal access to education, jobs and housing.
You mean the states with the most blacks/Hispanics aren't feeling the love for diversity the way the white utopian north does?
'Many of the proposals root in one of a half-dozen conservative or libertarian organizations offering recommendations for limiting consideration of diversity, equity and inclusion in employment decisions, training and student admissions.'
You shouldn't treat someone differently because of their race. This makes sense it's also easily exploited because people can identify however they feel
Let’s raise those struggling without penalizing those succeeding. That’s why DEI efforts need limits!!
Yeah, Republican states still believe that in MLK's color-blind society qualifications, not color of skin, should determine who is admitted to colleges. Otherwise we will not be able to compete with China and other Asian countries. China already believes USA is declining power.
WOW! No way!
This is great news for America!
Still waiting for EQUALITY
Racists
Harvard has a case at the court about diversity, now. Can schools take race into consideration when they pick their applicants?
This is not helping their chances in the next presidential election
So
Equality and equity is threatening the ruling class now their trying to keep the lower class out of higher education. Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family — kofi annan.
And where did DEI come from🙄
This is the next big step that we should all expect from this Conservative Supreme Court’s rulings.
Many trace their roots to secession.
GOP !
amazing news
AP is the mouthpiece of the democrat party. Your “opinion” means nothing!
DEI per usual was a solid idea in concept that has been turned into a weapon by progressives to divide people. The goal of current DEI is to base everything on race while the goal of sane people is to not make decisions based on things people can't control like skin color.
AP finally willing to print good things about the GOP. Wait. You didn't understand this was a good thing, did you?
Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity. DIE. It's not an accident that they chose this acronym. This ideology is about racism against whites only.
REPUBLICANS ARE SO DAMN STUPID
Please help me. I’m a victim too. I need preferential treatment for college admission and a juicy reparation payment. Please censure conservative viewpoints as well. Thank you!
Like how equality has now turned into equity. Smh
Of course, and everyone should support it in every state, unless you are racist. Forced equity is PURE RACISM!! Don't consider the color of people's skin, or you are a RACIST!! Very simple.
Absolutely allaboutlimits out of control crazy white people in America are job outsourced criticized & demoralized just for their race The oppressed have become the oppressors EnoughIsEnough EVERYONE needs to lovecolorblind the person with propercredentials should get the job
I’m a victim too. I need preferences for college admission and I would like a reparation payment. Thank you!
White Christian Nation is the goal.
👍
Sometimes the morning news isn't all bad.
Yes, because DEI is a framework seeking to implement systemic racism and sexism policies that are obviously against Title VI, Title IX and 5 USC 2301. Protecting racism and sexism through nice sounding words is still illegal in America.
Awesome!
Why did they rename affirmative action to diversity, equity and inclusion? Was it the bad connotation?
Good. We can’t base our hierarchy off what color you are of what sexual preference you have… it should be based off merit
Many trace their roots to 1984 and the concept of the Two Minutes' Hate
Excellent.
