Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
The Secret Service’s failures during the near assassination of former President Donald Trump have once again shone the spotlight on so-called DEI hiring, with former Director Kimberly Cheatle being accused of being a box-ticking diversity hire.
“The second thing that the public is seeing is that some people who have less meritocratic credentials have been promoted to very senior positions where they have not performed well, and they’ve just seen it time and again,” Lipson added. “Some people have been promoted for identity reasons, and that those reasons are fundamentally contrary to American values, where the color of your skin and your religion should be irrelevant to whether you get a job or not.
As the fruits of DEI have become more understood by the public, and accusations of people such as Gay or former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle being “DEI hires” have abounded, many of the institutional proponents of the ideology have begun to retreat. At the same time, Lipson noted, many people who previously were afraid of being called racist for criticizing the ideology now feel empowered to speak out.
However, DEI’s proponents still largely control those institutions, and while the “diversity, equity, and inclusion” phraseology has become politically inexpedient, the underlying ideology could still be pervasive. Attempts to scale it back have sometimes been met with skepticism, particularly in academia.
“Every organization wants to ensure its autonomy, so there’s nothing unique about HR departments or university bureaucracies or anybody else trying to do that, and one way to ensure your autonomy is to obscure the criteria you’re using for decision-making, and any evidence that the decision-making might be biased against group A or group B,” he said.
