The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

It's easy to feel optimistic about the rollback of DEI insanity in corporations and, surprisingly, even universities. Has America finally awakened to the existential danger of government and corporate America seeing the world through the prism of race and sex and gender and ethnicity and...?

Lowe's Becomes Latest Corporation To Backtrack On DEI Policies As Conservative Campaign Builds Momentum

Ford joins growing push to scale back 'woke' DEI initiatives under pressure from conservatives

But...the progressive left is absolutely marvelous at subterfuge when they can't get their way legally. All of those DEI managers and assistant deans will go somewhere, and most of them will continue their work of dismantling American Exceptionalism and the concept of merit. They'll just do it more carefully and far more quietly. The general template is splashed across the headlines in pretty much every contentious political or social debate: ballot harvesting, abortion, environmental nonsense, transgender lunacy, and much more.

When there is conservative push-back that they judge to be too widespread, they simply go underground. And they are good at it! Homosexual Incorporated has infiltrated our schools, hiring decisions are mostly controlled by blue-haired cat ladies who are "allies" with every pressure group on earth except for the competent ones, school curricula are decided by a cabal of those blue-hairs, woke publishing managers, and leftists are embedded like ticks in our education system.

And they have almost total support from their lackeys in the media!

Why rolling back diversity programs shows pure cowardice

The trick for traditional America is to keep our eye on the prize, but we have demonstrated over the past 60 years that we are incapable of that. Unless we keep the pressure on, via our votes and how we spend our money, DEI and a dozen things just as destructive will creep back in to our culture. Look at University of California v. Bakke! That was 1978, and it eviscerated affirmative action. The Academy promptly found other ways to get what they wanted.

The fight never ends, and it is time for traditional America to realize that.
