Washington Examiner Publishes Adam Guillette: “North Carolina and Kansas Deliver Deadly Blow to DEI”

North Carolina and Kansas just delivered a deadly blow to the diversity cult ruining America

Just in time for America’s birthday, North Carolina and Kansas delivered the United States a most appropriate gift, one that certainly makes us a more perfect Union. Both states joined Florida in passing strong, meaningful laws banning diversity, equity, and inclusion in public universities.
Americans may wonder why these laws are necessary. After all, just after President Donald Trump was inaugurated, he signed an executive order prohibiting DEI programs and offices. State legislatures followed with laws of their own. The public understandably believed the matter was resolved. Sadly, my investigative team at Accuracy in Media has released video after video showing that those laws aren’t worth the paper they were printed on.
In reality, university administrators perfected the art of compliance theater. When politicians announce a DEI ban, the presidents and provosts issue statements pledging cooperation. Then the rebranding begins. DEI offices become “belonging centers.” Diversity officers become “student success” directors. Mandatory ideological trainings are repackaged under new names. Essentially, it’s business as usual from the folks who hate America.
