THE RIGHT TO ABOLISH DEA BEGINS CHRISTOPHER RUFO
Yesterday, I joined Governor Ron DeSantis in Sarasota, Florida, to support his new education reform initiative, which promises to abolish DEI bureaucracies, prohibit coercive “diversity statements,” ban mandatory critical race theory-style “diversity training,” and end identity-based preferences in all Florida public universities.
In my speech to the press, I stood with the governor and explained the Orwellian nature of DEI, which sounds well-intentioned, but in truth, divides Americans into “oppressor” and “oppressed,” actively discriminates on the basis of ancestry, and seeks to create equality of outcomes, rather than equal treatment under the law.
DeSantis’ proposal is a bold one. For decades, conservatives have ceded the universities to the most intolerant and ideological factions of the Left. We’ve been paralyzed by the fear of specious accusations of “censorship.”
No more. It’s time to restore public authority over our public institutions. I will do everything in my power to help leaders such as Governor DeSantis—who has proven to be the most ambitious and strategically-minded political figure in the United States—succeed in transforming these proposals into the law of the land.
