The DEI Thread


The Department of Education has terminated 18 grants for $226mm to Comprehensive Centers, which provided consulting services with a large focus on DEI. One Center application stated: “Embedding DEI reviews across all deliverables and materials ensures it is not a one-off task specific activity.”

A 2019 study (which itself cost $8mm) was “not able to measure the causal impact of the centers’ work”.

Examples of DEI content from a center:
 
I hadn't heard of this, but apparently there's some kind of 40 day boycott of Target over their moving away from DEI. The boycott started yesterday. Yesterday, 40 days...I see what they did there.

It will be interesting to see if this manages to affect Target and how. I could see an anti-boycott actually increasing their bottom line. What a nice message that would be.

I need to pick up some expensive baby formula and some other items soon, so I'll probably do that at Target. If you're not a Target shopper, maybe now is a good time to start.
