Any time we can get rid of anything woke or as discriminatory as DEI (and as racist), the world is better off. We can stop dividing people against each other and get along with each other a lot better. It might improve the quality of their product if they hire on meritocracy.
This helps flush out the last vestiges of the Alinsky-motivated Obama policies that caused racial divisiveness. Unity is our strength, not diversity.
Microsoft sparked internal revolt after it fired its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) team, leading the program’s leader to slam the company’s ‘changing business needs.’
The tech giant’s move was exposed in an email obtained by Business Insider, which appears to show the DEI internal team leader criticizing the fact diversity was ‘no longer business critical.’
Microsoft joins a number of tech companies in walking back DEI commitments that were made in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, including Google, Meta and Zoom.
As Farmers Revolt, John Deere Ditches DEI Policies
Facing conservative backlash and a farmer-led boycott, John Deere ditched its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, the Daily Mail reported.
The $61 billion-a-year company announced it would abandon DEI hallmarks such as: “socially motivated messaging,” “diversity quotas,” and “pronoun identification” while also distancing itself from “cultural awareness parades.”
This decision follows criticism for sponsoring a Pride event for children as young as 3 amid ongoing plant closures and layoffs in the U.S., the Daily Mail reported.
“Our customers’ trust and confidence in us are of the utmost importance to everyone at John Deere,” the company stated on X. “We fully intend to earn it every day and in every way we can.”
Critics particularly targeted John Deere’s support of the Little Rainbow Run at Des Moines’ Capital City Pride event, involving toddlers in LGBTQ+ festivities. The company’s adoption of new-wave gender ideology, including staff training on the “genderbread person,” further fueled the controversy.
This reversal mirrors similar boycotts against Tractor Supply and Bud Light, which faced conservative backlash for a partnership with a trans influencer, resulting in significant sales losses. Supporters of DEI argue these efforts promote the inclusion of women and minority talent, while critics view them as counterproductive and unfair to straight, white men.
I was a little bothered by the John Deere one. Their customer is a rural and typically not a political customer. They had to have a plant inside to try something this stupid
