This is the year DEI started to crumble — and the collapse is happening everywhere. From universities to major corporations, the resistance to DEI policies is gaining real traction. The latest company to wake up? Boeing. After mounting pressure from activists like Robby Starbuck, Boeing finally had the sense to eliminate their entire DEI department. Why? Because they realized it wasn’t just bad for business, it was downright destructive. DEI policies are a distraction from what really matters — competence, skill, and performance.
But Boeing isn’t the only one. Republicans in Congress are pushing the “Dismantle DEI Act,” which would strip DEI policies from the federal government and prevent contractors from using them. Companies like Boeing, reliant on government contracts, understand that keeping these policies would cost them billions. So they’re cutting the nonsense, and it’s about time.
That has been the story of DEI in general this year. From states and universities dismantling their DEI programs, to the success of my film "Am I Racist," to the defeat of Kamala Harris— the ultimate DEI candidate— it's very clear that DEI is on its way out. The ideology that was so dominant just a few years ago has now been thoroughly exposed for the farce it truly is. Merit, competence and the rule of law are now ascendant. That's one of the Right's biggest victories of 2024. And it's worth celebrating and memorializing, and it’s crucial that we keep pushing to ensure these misguided ideologies never regain power.
