Rep. Mark Alford is leading a group of Republicans in demanding the federal government defund its DEI programs.
FIRST ON FOX: A group of House Republicans is leading the push to terminate programs on diversity, equity and inclusion within the federal government. Rep. Mark Alford, R-Mo., introduced the 'Diversity Equity Inclusion Dead on Arrival Act of 2024' or 'The DEI DOA Act,' backed by four fellow House Republicans. 'As a nation, we should place our focus on our commonality and the things that unite us.
That is exactly why I am introducing legislation to prevent any federal agency from instituting DEI in their trainings. My colleagues and I on the Armed Services Committee have worked tirelessly to ensure these curriculums are eliminated from our military. Now, it is time to take it a step further and eliminate DEI across the federal government.' Alford’s bill would target DEI offices in the State Department, Treasury, and Department of Interior, among others.
Earlier this year, House Republicans forced the House of Representatives’ Office of Diversity and Inclusion to shut down as part of a deal to pass a $1.2 trillion government funding package.
