Discrimination, Exclusion and Indoctrination (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion or DEI backronym)

“Discrimination, Exclusion and Indoctrination” (a backronym or back acronym of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, or DEI) has been printed on many images. The backronym reflects a belief that DEI rewards people based on a status, not on merit.
   
“The next time you are at a school board meeting and hear the euphemism ‘DEI’ (diversity equity inclusion), what it really means is Discrimination Exclusion Indoctrination” was posted on X/Twitter by Tempus on July 11, 2021. “It has been my experience that DEI in the workplace invariably stands for Discrimination, Exclusion, and Indoctrination” was posted on X/Twitter by Arthur Wellington on April 21, 2022. “DEI:  discrimination, exclusion and indoctrination” was posted on X/Twitter by Molly Myers on February 23, 2023. ““DEI stands for discrimination, exclusion and indoctrination.” (Florida Governor Ron—ed.) DeSantis bringing the house down” was posted on X/Twitter by Mike Gonzalez on Arpil 21, 2023.
 
Other “DEI” backronyms include “Didn’t Earn It,” “Division, Exclusion and Inequality,” “Division, Exclusion and Intolerance,” “Don’t Expect Intelligence” and “Dumb Entitled Idiot.”
   
   
Wikipedia: Diversity, equity and inclusion
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (usually abbreviated DEI) are organizational frameworks which seek to promote “the fair treatment and full participation of all people”, particularly groups “who have historically been underrepresented or subject to discrimination” on the basis of identity or disability. These three notions (diversity, equity, and inclusion) together represent “three closely linked values” which organizations seek to institutionalize through DEI frameworks.

The next time you are at a school board meeting and hear the euphemism “DEI” (diversity equity inclusion), what it really means is Discrimination Exclusion Indoctrination. Remember to always judge a tree by it’s fruit.

Discrimination, exclusion, and indoctrination. Conservatives avoid companies with DEI depts as they are a waste of time and money.

“The way it’s practiced, it seems what DEI actually stands for is ‘discrimination, exclusion, and indoctrination’!” ~ Gov DeSantis was great at our Cicero Courage Awards tonight.
He also spoke about competence, accountability, and not consulting polls vs just doing what’s right.

DEI Loyalty oaths are illiberal compelled speech, but nearly half of large public universities require them.  We are fixing this. @InstituteCicero

In Florida, our higher education institutions will not be spending public dollars on “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” or other initiatives that promote an ideological agenda.
As practiced, DEI represents discrimination, exclusion and indoctrination — and this has no place in a public institution.

They say it’s “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” In practice, it has been “Discrimination, Exclusion, and Indoctrination.” That has no place in American society, and it certainly doesn’t have a place in our publicly funded universities.

If DEI is a good thing, why are they upset when you call someone a DEI hire?
