“President Trump has upended the liberal/progressive policy of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion by decreeing its immediate end within the federal government. Is that a good thing? Conservatives sure think so. My position? I don’t really care how presidents run their welfare-state, warfare-state departments and agencies. I’m with Murray Rothbard when he was asked about the importance of ferreting out communists in the federal government. He responded — just abolish the jobs and the problem goes away. … What is concerning, however, especially insofar as dictatorship is concerned, is Trump’s efforts to rid private-sector entities of DEI. What authority does a U.S. president have under the U.S. Constitution to dictate the policies of private-sector companies?” (02/18/25)
