More of this please:
The #NY State #Education Dept issued a defiant response to #Trump’s threats to pull federal #funding from #PublicSchools over #diversity, #equity & #inclusion programs, a remarkable departure from recent conciliatory approaches of other institutions. A day earlier, the federal govt issued a memo to education ofcls across the nation, telling them to confirm the elimination of all programs it argues *unfairly* promote #DEI.

Yes! Love this. "I will not comply." Harris talked about "courage being contagious." Let's hope this spreads!
It's killing me to see so many places and companies kneel pre-emptively.
@Nonilex The Executive Orders dismantling DEI policies should not be obeyed until Congress has amended or passed laws that declare such policies to be as unfair as the President believes them to be.
@Nonilex let me tell you about "unfair". I'm stuck adjuncting, teaching political science and economics at the community college. I am more qualified than either the full-time political science person (a white, cis male) or the full-time economics person (a white, cis male).
