If you (somehow) need more evidence that the anti-DEI stuff is just plain naked racism, look no further this latest set of executive orders, in which schools NOT punishing minority students more severely than white kids is now considered a form of "discrimination".

Trump's executive orders target colleges like Harvard, DEI in education

President Donald Trump has ordered sharper scrutiny of America’s colleges and the accreditors that oversee them. It's part of his escalating campaign to end what he calls “wokeness” and diversity efforts in education.

"The order also calls for a review of nonprofit organizations that have promoted discipline policies rooted in equity and ensure they don’t receive federal money." 🤒

As I understood it, he is "just" targeting rules that are aimed at protecting minorities more than the average person.

In a way, that would make everyone equal - if there had not been a need
for this rule in the first place ...

I'm not for this fascist in any way and I don't find this the right thing to do, but I fail to see the "punish them MORE" passage in the article.

@Heinzenstein I would injure my spine if I bent over that far backwards to give them that much benefit of the doubt. From the article I linked to:
Trump also ordered the Education Department to root out efforts to ensure equity in discipline in the nation's K-12 schools. Previous guidance from Democratic administrations directed schools not to disproportionately_punish underrepresented minorities such as Black and Native American students. The administration says equity efforts amount to racial discrimination.

It still does NOT say to treat people differently.
(Which becomes irrelevant once all "illegal people" are deported, but that's another thing.)

There is a University lecturer in Hebden Bridge who makes the most wonderful goat's cheese in her spare time. My wife, an ex Dean, cannot be persuaded to join the trend
