@boogie That’s nonsense. Pure nonsense. You don’t say eh okay then we will become socialists. Dems could have run someone else. Could have funded someone else. This is who they wanted and it is who they elected.
Race-based DEI initiatives are mostly dead in this country and in some places like Ohio can be illegal.
This is simply not accurate though. There are many places that still tout DEI initiatives, even if they are doing so privately, so not to attract attention from the administration. I've had companies, non-profits, etc. continue to push DEI because they haven't changed their perspective on the intentions, even if the results suggest the approach is flawed.
DEI policies/laws are racist and both parties have put them into place. IMO, this country has progressed to the point there is opportunity for all races and nobody is stopping anybody from succeeding, equality, or inclusion.
The Democratic Party currently is one of the most racist institutions if not the most in the world though the Israeli govt might be worse. If you disagree with them the racist, Nazi, Hitler accusations fly. Their hate platform is way over the top. 98% of the population would be my guess as the percent of America is actually not racist. Dems have their Hollywood and News propaganda plants brainwashed and working hard for them. Maybe it's the woke part of the party pushing this but it doesn't matter it has made anyone in the party not worthy of ever voting for at this point. Guilt by association!!
@sig Agreed regarding Dei and discrimination. Largely unnecessary as there is every protection imaginable on the books and I bet after car crash lawyers employment discrimination lawyers are the next easiest civil lawyers to find. And it’s free.
Yeah, I know and have seen it first hand, too. You're a liar. Let me introduce you to Chicago's Office of Equity and Racial Justice and just a few Chicago initiatives:He's lying--and that's not admirable.
Ordinary I’d ignore such bullshit, but I take issue with being called a liar about something I know and have seen first hand. I’m not really interested in explaining myself to you. Race-based DEI initiatives are mostly dead in this country and in some places like Ohio can be illegal. At least in the near future, no lawmakers are campaigning to bring it back to the national level it once was.
About the Office of Equity and Racial Justice
The Office of Equity and Racial Justice (OERJ) seeks to advance institutional change that results in an equitable transformation of how we do business across the City of Chicago enterprise. This includes the City’s service delivery, resource distribution, policy creation and decision-making. OERJ will do this by supporting City departments in normalizing concepts of racial equity, organizing staff to work together for transformational change, and operationalizing new practices, policies and procedures that result in more fair and just outcomes.

DEI still in the workplace:
Here's some of the largest public school systems in the nation that still "prioritize racial equity":

Here's an organization investigating DEI practices in public schools (I'm guessing this is overblown. But I find it very unlikely all of these listed are bogus, which is what OhioGuy would have to claim to prove he's not lying):

Always difficult to determine whether it’s willful ignorance, disingenuous, or just a flat out lie when Dem voters like @ohio-guy guy claim the party isn’t going to make this stuff a priority. Best case is it’s actual ignorance & he’s evidence that their strategy of just talking about stuff other than this is working on some….
Tried to cleanse this of AI wonkiness so it doesn't destroy the thread:
Brookings guide to educators about the nationwide fight against Trump's EOs on DEI policies, outlining how this will ultimately be decided by the Courts (if it gets up to them before a Dem administration takes the White House). September 8, 2025:
- To date, most of the administration’s efforts aim to undermine longstanding local, state, and national efforts to improve public schools and promote equity, accessibility, and inclusion in public education.
- Litigation has been a key strategy to limit executive overreach in education policy—and to some early successes.
As our new K-12 education litigation tracker (and this brief) shows, this means that the Trump administration has been limited in its ability to lawfully “enforce” significant portions of its radical K-12 education agenda.
That's impossible. We were just told racial equity programs are dead! 🤣
"It's not in Ohio."
Gemini, are there still any race-based equity programs in Ohio?
AI Overview
Yes, race-based equity programs still exist and operate in Ohio at local, county, and non-profit levels, focusing on addressing systemic disparities, though some public university scholarships with explicit racial criteria have been under review following Supreme Court rulings, while programs addressing racial health/housing inequities, like Cleveland’s Health Equity division or REACH Ohio, continue their work. Examples include Franklin County’s RISE Racial Equity initiative, Columbus’s Racial Equity Collaborative, and various trainings and advocacy efforts by organizations like COHHIO and YWCA Columbus.
In essence, while specific mechanisms might be evolving due to legal shifts, the underlying commitment to addressing racial inequity through targeted programs and initiatives remains active across various sectors in Ohio.
@oneeyedundertaker It's incredibly odd phenom. They pretend these things don't exist. Defund? No no that never happened. DEI it's basically dead. No one is running on that. AOC? She only appears on YOUR feed. They must think they're all Jedis. And if you have to stretch so far to pretend these policies don't exist then why do you still support that Party?
