Will the last diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucrat to leave their office on campus please turn out the lights?
Last week, famed New York Times columnist David Brooks penned a widely discussed column that encouraged his culturally elite readership to consider an alternative Trump-era narrative, one in which they, not the “distrustful populists” and “less-educated classes," as he described them, are the bad guys.
Rising interest rates and a shortage of lower-cost houses under the Biden administration continue to make homeownership unobtainable for many young families. Instead of working to solve actual problems like these, President Joe Biden is once again choosing to prioritize the expansive promotion of woke diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology in housing policies, as a recent proposed rule from the Department of Housing and Urban Development shows.
For the second time in its history, the United States saw its AAA rating on long-term debt downgraded by a credit rating firm.

The chief diversity officer has lost its luster. Once the hot new role for companies looking to cash in on progressive calls for surface-level heterogeneity, the role of CDO is now difficult to find and nearly impossible to keep.
On the occasion of his “eleventy-first” birthday, the hobbit Bilbo Baggins famously disappeared. On July 31, we celebrate what would have been the 111th birthday of another man who was diminutive in size but larger than life in spirit: Milton Friedman. Were he to reappear today, he would likely marvel at how much progress has been made on issues about which he cared so deeply.
Last month, the Montana-based nonprofit organization Yellowstone Voices released a video documenting the slaughter of bison that migrate out of Yellowstone National Park each winter to find forage. As a wildlife advocate, I’ve seen my share of disgusting and unethical treatment of animals (especially predators). But the massacre of Yellowstone bison, which this year claimed more than 1,100 animals from an already endangered herd, represents a new low — and not just because of the unethical and abhorrent nature of the killing and its impact on the bison, but because of the conservation community’s unwillingness to denounce it as well as its equally troubling ostracization of anyone who does.
In yet another example of the Biden administration’s aggressively woke diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management is now proposing to kneecap the government’s ability to hire the most qualified candidates for federal job openings. Its specious reasoning? To close the supposed federal “wage gap” between male and female or white and minority employees.
