DEI Overpromised, Under-Delivered, Ran Amok

The three pillars of DEI—diversity, equity, and inclusion—are flawed, misdirected, unfair, partially self-contradictory, and have seriously undesirable consequences. DEI has devolved into a threat to our educational system, our economy, and our society. It is time to dismantle the entire edifice and return to the basic values of merit, achievement, and the vigorous pursuit of non-discrimination of any kind.
