Facing Backlash, Some Corporate Leaders Go ‘Under the Radar’ With D.E.I.-NY Times
The backlash, Dr. Dobbin said, has pushed some human resource professionals to keep their D.E.I. efforts “under the radar.” At recent conferences he has attended, Dr. Dobbin added, corporate leaders have discussed how to approach D.E.I. “in a less in-your-face way.”

What We Don’t Know About the Danger of DEI in the Airline Industry is Scarier than What We Know-American Thinker
We need to drop DEI and get back to the American formula for success-The Hill
It’s time for all institutions to get back to their basic duties and stop pushing extreme agendas on the American people. This is especially important for American corporations that have a fiduciary obligation to make decisions in the best financial interests of their shareholders.
DEI Is Worth Saving From Its Excesses-WSJ
A war is raging over “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” Opponents and supporters of DEI have very different ideas about what it is. “DEI is racist because reverse racism is racism,” hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman tweets. “Good businesses look where others don’t, to find the employees that will put your business in the best possible position to succeed,” businessman Mark Cuban counters.
Both men have a point. Some of what happens under the DEI banner is truly objectionable, even illegal—hiring, promotion and admissions standards under which race trumps qualifications, training sessions that create a hostile environment for whites. But as companies, universities and other organizations weed out these practices, they should be careful that the parts of DEI that the majority of us agree on don’t become collateral damage. DEI as talent optimization is good for disadvantaged groups, good for organizations that embrace it, and good for America.
The New Yorker misses the point. The Campaign Against D.E.I. For critics of the former Harvard president Claudine Gay, a larger goal was always in sight.-New Yorker
Critical race theory was yesterday’s scandal. Today, diversity-equity-and-inclusion initiatives are in the crosshairs of critics across the political spectrum who seek to dismantle any notion that racism is systemic and thus deserving of systemic remedies.
MSCI under fire for ESG ratings ‘biases’ that could cost investors-City AM
In a previous blog post in November, Klement had noted that companies with better share price performance were more likely to receive a strong ESG rating under MSCI than competitor Refinitiv.
He argued that this was likely due to MSCI’s ESG index business, incentivising it to boost the performance of its indexes to make them more appealing to investors.
Now, Klement argued this tactic of trying to boost the past performance of ESG indexes was actually weakening their future performance due to biases towards stocks that had performed well over the last year.
How the FBI and CIA went woke-The Blaze
Obama imposed Marxist critical theory on the entire intelligence community. The Trump team didn’t stop it. Biden accelerated it. But there’s still time to do something about it.
GOP @RepClayHiggins: Media: “Congressman Higgins, the Supreme Court just ruled in favor of the Biden Admin over the State of Texas, saying that the federal government can remove physical barriers at the border put in place by Texas. What are your thoughts?” Me: “My thoughts are that the feds are staging a civil war, and Texas should stand their ground.”
This is troubling, but not surprising. GOP Rep. @RepThomasMassie: Your primary care provider was bribed to get you to take the jab.
“Oh, but Congressman Massie, these were incentive payments, not bribes.” As always, follow the money.
