What is DEI, and why is it dividing America?

Diversity, equity and inclusion programs have come under attack in American boardrooms, state legislatures and college campuses – and now broadly across the federal government.

President Donald Trump hours after swearing in this week began making good on promises to wage a war against such policies, inking an executive order banning efforts such as “environmental justice programs,” “equity initiatives” and DEI considerations in federal hiring.

An attempt to allow all people to be in on discussions to make a better world.

Much of America thinks white Christians have more rights than anyone else.

One probably should add "male" in there somewhere (despite the fact that by executive order they don't exist anymore, either).

Are you asking what it actually is, or how it’s treated by the GOP?

[CharonY]

A very short answer is this: DEI split the American community because it challenged a system that heavily favoured white men.
