For once, Kamala Harris didn’t misspeak.
The former vice-president-turned-failed-presidential-candidate recently appeared with Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul el Sayed. She vigorously defended the divisive and discriminatory ideology of “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” saying that the “attack on DEI is an attack on maternal care,” and especially “black women.” These words betray two things that ought to worry every American.
First, the Left is still completely obsessed with DEI and will bring it back as soon as possible.
Second, that obsession is grounded in falsehoods that endanger Americans.
Since President Donald Trump beat Harris in the 2024 election, DEI has been on the defensive. Federal DEI initiatives have largely disappeared, as the spigot of taxpayer funding has dried up. Major companies have outwardly rolled back DEI commitments and scrubbed their websites of the language. And in higher education, a growing number of schools are dismantling their DEI departments.
