“The private sector is ditching DEI, but government can’t let go”
They want to include everyone — except the people they don’t like.
For a while we were told that DEI was good for business, and good for encouraging people to get along.
But in fact there’s no evidence that corporate DEI efforts help the bottom line: The chief support for that notion was a McKinsey study that was, well, questionable.
Moreover, there’s considerable evidence on college campuses that DEI efforts increase racial division and prejudice, rather than reducing it.
Shockingly, calling attention to people’s differences, and handing out goodies based on those differences, doesn’t promote fellow-feeling.
