Remember that it was just last year that the 11th Circuit took DeSantis’s version of this to the woodshed. In a panel that included two Trump appointees, the decision was unanimous and authored by one of them, Judge Britt Grant. media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub... - ThreadSky

I would be replying, "What do you mean by DEI? Explain it to me like I'm a five year old!

Make them spell out specifics. Trust me, they don't want to be forced to clarify specific demands.

Can’t they just rebrand DEI?

Wow. Thats a great opinion and all makes sense to me. It is scary how hard the government is trying to censor and control its citizens and yelling that they are the victim at the same time. I hope we can survive these four years and that we dont get drug back to a white washed censored america

I've been thinking of doing a thread on the First Amendment implications of the censorship they've been imposing on grant recipients (particularly academics doing research).

As to the 1st amendment this seems like it’s controlled by the decision in Rust no? Plenty of other ways to challenge this but as to the 1st the government can fund speech it likes and decline to fund speech it dislikes.

They want to erase people of color - and bring back segregation.

This is plainly, brazenly, obviously unconstitutional action.

As I have written, it is nothing more than an attempt to use fear to force people to take actions the law could not compel them to take.

If left unchallenged and unchanged, it is autocracy.

Stealing this!

Take it!

Are there any suits being filed to challenge all the anti- DEI EOs? The language in the EOs often refers to the programs as "illegal" but I'm not aware of any case that has designated a DEI program illegal.
