President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory signals a turning point for our nation. As America grapples with the consequences of unchecked diversity, equity and inclusion or DEI policies, the second Trump administration has a clear mandate to restore fairness and meritocracy in employment law.

For far too long, DEI initiatives have served as Trojan horses for leftist ideologies, undermining the principles of equal opportunity and creating a culture of fear and resentment in workplaces across the country. No sector exemplifies this better than Silicon Valley, where DEI has devolved into overt discrimination.

White and Asian engineers are often passed over for promotions to meet arbitrary diversity quotas, while businesses spend millions on mandatory "anti-racism" training that vilifies some employees just based on their skin color. These policies are not about fairness or inclusion; they are about imposing an ideological agenda that prioritizes identity politics over qualifications.

The incoming Trump administration now has a chance to dismantle this divisive framework and chart a course back toward unity and common sense.

At its core, DEI as currently practiced is antithetical to the principles of fairness and equality. Instead of leveling the playing field, it tilts it steeply in favor of select groups, creating a workplace culture where hiring and promotions are often dictated by identity rather than merit. DEI practices, though often cloaked in the language of equity, are nothing more than reverse discrimination, punishing individuals for their race or gender while undermining the very concept of merit-based achievement.

Beyond hiring........
