To read the Boston Globe, you’d think it was the Klan trying to take down DEI.
It’s no secret that conservatives’ crusade against DEI is causing a massive stir in our current cultural moment. From the heights of higher education to boardrooms across America, the culture war is shifting back into racial territory as the Right sets its sights on pushing racially exclusionary policies out of the public square. How you view this crusade heavily depends on who’s telling you about it — MSNBC writers are convinced that this anti-DEI push is fueled by a “positive vision of white nationalism that grew under Donald Trump.” On the other side, conservative media portrays the current moment as the tip of a much larger woke iceberg that, if conservatives are sufficiently dogged, will all be revealed in time.
