"At FoxNews, bashing libs may be appropriate; at your billing SaaS company, it’s not. At a comedy club, it’s appropriate to hear off-color humor;"<p>Sounds very right-focused. What about supporting BLM or publicly talking about defending police? Both incredibly divisive and partisan stances that a DEI company would be obligated to abide by.<p>This is the crux of DEI -- it is a wedge to place utopian-Leftist ideals into a organization without any votes or consent. If you disagree, you are automatically a racist/oppressor. If you fall into a typical "oppressor" category, white/male generally, you are now under constant Gestapo watch for thought and speech crimes.<p>No thanks.
I cannot resist leaving a comment here. DEI is:<p>Divisiveness. Your organization will be split into many adversarial camps based on their skin color and genitals. They will be taught to treat members of other camps with contempt. These superficial traits will be deemed more important that skill, character, knowledge and ability.<p>Exclusion. Ideas, thoughts, words and people contradicting our dogma will be excluded by our helpful and friendly speech police. Your employees will be encouraged to report each other for thought crimes, such as using banned words, and will learn to not trust each other.<p>Inquisition. Any attempt to discuss and criticize this policy will be mercilessly persecuted by ministry of love. Your employees will learn to keep their thoughts to themselves.
