John Stossel on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion training – “It’s a minefield now.”

Published

From StosselTV

All big companies now require “DEI” training for employees, but studies say that often BACKFIRES. One study looked at 800 companies, and found that after companies did trainings, they actually came to have FEWER black managers. How is that possible?

Erec Smith, a former DEI trainer, now a Professor of Rhetoric at York College, tells me: “It seems to be making people less likely to interact with people who are unlike them … because it’s like a minefield now.”

He explains that the trainings can make people so afraid of saying something wrong, that people just avoid each other. “If you ask somebody what they do for a living, somehow that’s racist, right? If you learn that, then why would you take a chance?”

That’s the just the tip of the iceberg, regarding DEI’s problems. Watch this video for more strange ideas that come from it, like “try to be less white” and the idea that some kids don’t need to learn standard English.

Government Gambling Hypocrisy: Bad Odds and No Competition

Published on

From StosselTV

Many politicians across America condemn gambling. They crack down on slot machines and want sports betting banned. Yet, there’s one gambling operation they never try to ban: their own!

The politicians’ hypocrisy is disgusting. They should leave us alone. How we spend our money should be up to us!

After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom

Publicity Kills DEI: A Free Speech Solution to Woke Companies

Published on

For years, major corporations bragged about their wonderful Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. They’re good for business and morally correct, they said. So why are they now cutting those programs?

Robby Starbuck says these programs once got a lot of buy-in, because people wanted to be nice! But DEI came to mean much more than just being nice.

Starbuck says what it looked like in practice was “crazy trainings” and “overtly racist hiring practices.” Now lots of people agree with him.

Companies actually take notice when Starbuck tells his many followers about their DEI programs. Often the programs get dropped.

That’s the power of free speech.

After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.
