[Walmart] is not undertaking tweaks to those [DEI] policies, but a complete overhaul. It is pulling certain products from its shelves, including “chest-binders” and trans books marketed to children. Rather than injecting another $100 million into the Center for Racial Equity – a non-profit set up in 2020 to give a boost to minority-owned companies – the fund will be wound down. Internally, there will be change, too: the phrase DEI is to be removed from company materials. […]
Of course, this is not the end of the DEI agenda. Institutions where progressivism dominates – like universities – are likely to double down on these kinds of programmes. The urge to place people into identity boxes could even worsen for a while in such places. The emphasis on our differences may grow louder in the short-term. […]
This rejection of cultural progressivism is not an overnight phenomenon but a slow build-up of frustration, as Americans have become increasingly agitated at being pitted against one another. As the country demands a return to the natural meanings of diversity and inclusion, it’s no surprise that not just politicians, but businesses, are taking note.
