Diversity, equity and inclusion are American values.

[Captain Caveman]

link?

So you wanted an example of a school shooting pre 1776, and you listed loads after 1776 and when I said, 'Yes, pre and post 1776, America has school shootings", you want a link?

Is it brain fart day today??

Children weren't being slaughtered by mass shootings with military grade weapons either.

.

In 1764 ... Lenape Indians (of the Delaware tribe) on a raiding party In the Province of Pennsylvania entered a schoolhouse ...
Killing the schoolmaster Enoch Brown, ten students, and injuring others.

Shut the fuck up you ignorant twat ...

That's one. There were 39 school shootings this year (2024) that resulted in injuries or deaths, according to an Education Week analysis. There were 38 school shootings with injuries or deaths in 2023. There were 51 in 2022, 35 in 2021, 10 in 2020, and 24 each in 2019 and 2018.

The emergence and expansion of Leftism brought us a hateful divisive citizenry, school shootings in mass, tens of millions of wetbacks, chicks with dicks on every corner, total destruction of our public education and healthcare systems, an explosion in homelessness, an explosion in the suicide rate, an understaffed military, 37 trillion in debt…Yep, we need all leftists in concentration camps if we really want to turn this around.

Keep grabbing. You might catch that straw eventually.

Prog policies are antithetical to a meritocracy , and by proxy American values

As this is being revealed the left is upset, and blaming the right for what was entirely their bad in the first place

There are many "values" we might consider part of our culture that are debatable as government policy and laws.

Worth repeating. Being all right or all left all the time is all wrong.

so true ^^^^ IMO--the bugaboo is the concept of
EQUITY. IMO it would be productive to discuss
this concept (equity) I am short and left handed.
Should my cohort not be EQUITABLY represented on the
basketball court? (I am also a bit clumsy---and old)

 

[sartre play]

When we totally reduced our looking at the qualifications of those running for office,
And treating politics like a football game, Joining one party and refusing to look at the mistakes of our own party choice.
Giving both party license to do what ever they dam pleased.

“Diversity, equity and inclusion are American values…The motto of the United States of America is e pluribus unum. Out of many, one. That’s diversity. The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution—one of the most influential important amendments in our country—provides equal protection under the law. That’s equity. In this country, we pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. A flag that we just presented to the new President and Vice President. And in that pledge, we promise, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. A-L-L. That’s inclusion. Not complicated. Diversity, equity and inclusion are American values.”

LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION

Washington, DC – At a press conference earlier today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries was asked about attacks on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. He responded as follows:

democraticleader.house.gov

Leader Jeffries is correct.

I actually believe that "we" have not fallen that far

The red party is not all red, but has some blue mixed in. Don't blame all members of the red! lol. It won't be long. When the water recedes, you will probably see the true nature of Trump and his people.

While the Republican party has been criticized for its stance on diversity, equity, and inclusion, there are indeed many Republicans and conservatives who actively work to promote these values. Here are a few examples:

Republicans in Congress:

Senator Susan Collins (R-ME): Known for her moderate stance, Collins has been a strong advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and has supported legislation to protect the rights of marginalized communities.
Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK): Murkowski has been a vocal supporter of Native American rights and has worked to address the issue of missing and murdered indigenous women.
Representative Will Hurd (R-TX): Hurd, a former CIA officer, has been a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion in the tech industry and has worked to promote STEM education for underrepresented groups.
Representative Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA): Fitzpatrick has been a vocal supporter of LGBTQ+ rights and has co-sponsored legislation to protect the rights of marginalized communities.

Conservative organizations:

The Log Cabin Republicans: A conservative organization that advocates for LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion within the Republican party.
The Republican National Hispanic Assembly: An organization that works to promote Hispanic inclusion and representation within the Republican party.
The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund: A non-partisan organization that works to promote Latino inclusion and representation in government, but has partnered with Republican organizations to promote diversity and inclusion.
The American Conservative Union Foundation's (ACUF) Center for Equal Opportunity: A conservative organization that works to promote equal opportunity and inclusion for all Americans.

Conservative thought leaders:

Ana Navarro: A Republican strategist and commentator who has been a vocal advocate for diversity and inclusion within the Republican party.
Michael Steele: A former RNC chairman who has been a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion within the Republican party.
S.E. Cupp: A conservative commentator who has been a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion.
David Brooks: A conservative columnist who has written extensively on the need for greater diversity and inclusion within the Republican party.

Other notable Republicans:

Former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA): Schwarzenegger has been a vocal advocate for environmental protection and has worked to promote diversity and inclusion in California.
Former Governor Jeb Bush (R-FL): Bush has been a strong advocate for education reform and has worked to promote diversity and inclusion in Florida.
Former Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME): Snowe was a moderate Republican who worked to promote diversity and inclusion during her time in the Senate.

These individuals and organizations are just a few examples of Republicans and conservatives who are working to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. While they may not always agree with the Democratic party on these issues, they are actively working to promote these values within their own party and in their communities.

Seems to be the only one you MAGAs can find. Where were the military grade weapons?

That would be military grade at least at that time.

What a dumb remark. Military weapons had advanced well beyond clubs and knives at that time.

If "DEI" actually meant this, it might have merit (pun intended).
However:
In application it has meant Divisiveness, Inequality, and Exclusion = DIE.
And so it has ....

As we see so often, ideology from the Left rarely is literal. Often it is metaphor for the opposite.

----valid points ^^^ A productive discussion would be-----
"HAVE THE DEI PROGRAMS ACCOMPLISHED ANY POSTIVE
RESULTS" ?? LONG LONG ago---when I was a kid--- AFFIRMATIVE ACTION was born----discussion at that time
included the idea that it was a "TEMPORARY FIX" meant to
accomplish the GOAL of 'leveling the playing fields'-------
Somehow it seems to me that THE GOAL (keep your eye
on the prize) ---did not happen----to wit IT FAILED
