Read the entire article on Tablet Magazine.
“But “DEI” is not about the words it uses as camouflage. DEI is about arrogating power.
And the movement that is gathering all this power does not like America or liberalism. It does not believe that America is a good country—at least no better than China or Iran. It calls itself progressive, but it does not believe in progress; it is explicitly anti-growth. It claims to promote “equity,” but its answer to the challenge of teaching math or reading to disadvantaged children is to eliminate math and reading tests. It demonizes hard work, merit, family, and the dignity of the individual.
An ideology that pathologizes these fundamental human virtues is one that seeks to undermine what makes America exceptional.
It is time to end DEI for good. No more standing by as people are encouraged to segregate themselves. No more forced declarations that you will prioritize identity over excellence. No more compelled speech. No more going along with little lies for the sake of being polite.”

Bari’s (and Nellie’s) substack The Free Press is well worth the subscription. A constant stream of very good articles. But Nellie’s snark on Thank God It’s Friday (TGIF) is second to none. For example, her take on the news piece and misleading headlines about a 69 years old Jewish man being murdered by a Hamas supporter in the US. She writes,
“A man dies after running his head into something hard, a lot: A pro-Israel protester in Thousand Oaks, outside Los Angeles, was killed by a pro-Palestine protester, who bashed him in the head with a bullhorn. As the medical examiner determined: “An autopsy was performed on November 6th and the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office determined the cause of death to be blunt force head injury and the manner of death homicide.” So that was settled.
Then the misleading headlines about him ‘hitting his head’.
She sums it up nicely with good advice:
“Remember, if you’re Jewish and you get murdered, it’s just a weird thing you did with your head. Be more careful.”

It just kills me that hatred of Jews in now a core value of progressives. Glad my family members who served in WW2 are no longer alive to see this shameful behavior.
