Big Banks Walking Back Public Support for DEI

LGBT,

The Wall Street Journal reports big banks such as Citigroup and Morgan Stanley are walking back their public support for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs.

Many companies established DEI policies and programs some years ago to create an equal playing field for racial and ethnic minorities. However, it did not take long for LGBT groups and others to hijack those policies to promote gender-identity politics and other radical ideologies in the workplace.

As a result, public opinion has shifted against DEI and pro-LGBT activism in the workplace, prompting many companies to change course.

Late last year Walmart rolled back its pro-LGBT diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. Target, Toyota, John Deere, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply, Harley Davidson, and other corporations have moved away from DEI as well. Now big banks appear to be prepared to follow suit.

As we have said many times, it’s deeply troubling when multibillion financial institutions use their wealth and influence to promote radical ideologies. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion clearly is unpopular among consumers who are tired of pro-LGBT pandering from Corporate America. It’s good to see banks recognize that fact and reverse course on DEI.

Arkansas A.G. Joins Letter Urging Costco to Stop Promoting DEI

LGBT, ,

On Monday nineteen state attorneys general — including Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin — sent a letter to Costco’s CEO urging the company to eliminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies. The letter says Costco’s DEI initiatives are discriminatory and violate federal and state laws.

Many companies established DEI policies to create an equal playing field for racial and ethnic minorities, but LGBT groups have hijacked those policies to promote gender-identity politics in the workplace. Employees who hold a biblical view of gender or marriage risk losing their jobs.

Backlash and boycotts over DEI and pro-LGBT activism have prompted many companies to change course. Late last year Walmart rolled back its pro-LGBT diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. Target, Toyota, John Deere, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply, Harley Davidson, and other corporations have moved away from DEI as well.

However, Costco has made headlines for refusing to end its DEI policies.

As we have said many times, it’s deeply troubling when multimillion dollar corporations use their wealth and influence to promote radical, pro-LGBT ideas. It’s clear that DEI is unpopular among Americans, and customers are tired of pro-LGBT pandering from the stores where they shop.

Costco — and other corporations like them — would be wise to recognize that and stop promoting an agenda that is out of step with most Americans.
