addressing systemic racism in our Nation’s policies and programs” via “an ambitious, whole-of-government approach.” A few months later, the president issued another executive order, directing the head of each agency to “establish a position of chief diversity officer,” to “take steps to implement or increase the availability and use of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility training programs,” and to issue annual DEI plans and reports to the president—all in the interest of advancing the administration’s “racial equity agenda.” The key word here is “equity.” As Harris explained in a campaign video, an important distinction exists between “equity” and “equality.” Equity is about “giving people the resources and support they need, so that everyone can be on equal footing and then compete on equal footing.” The goal, as distinct from equality’s directive of equal standing in the law, is equal outcomes: “Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place.” In other words, Harris wanted to replace the equal treatment of all individuals with preferential treatment for certain racial groups.

Together, they will underscore the need to dismantle DEI and to pursue the only real solution to America’s racial woes: the principle of colorblind equality.

Instead, our institutions intensified their commitment to racial favoritism, right up to the present day, and most recently under the mandate for diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI.

One prominent proponent of that policy is Vice President Kamala Harris, who rose to power on the coattails of racial politics and, as vice president, has worked to entrench DEI into every aspect of the federal government.

The federal government not only punishes and rewards individuals based on racial identity but also has dispensed billions of dollars toward building a DEI regime spanning government, academia, medicine, and contracting.
