<p>The newly-appointed DEI chief at the State Department claimed that America&#8217;s institutions are &#8220;riddled with racism&#8221; and based on a “failed historical model&#8221; in a now-deleted article.</p>
<p>Zakiya Carr Johnson was appointed as the department’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer last week by Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who boasted that she brings “expertise and a fresh perspective on how we build a workforce that reflects America.&#8221;</p>
<p>Johnson, who previously served as senior adviser and director of the first Race, Ethnicity, and Social Inclusion Unit in the department under former President Barack Obama, made scathing criticisms of the United States in a now-deleted article published in October 2019 on the website of Fair Share of Women Leaders, a feminist organization.</p>
<p>“In every position I have held, from junior associate to Senior Advisor, there have been opportunities to challenge the forces that seek to silence women and those most vulnerable in society,” she <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200808200921/http://fairsharewl.org/it-will-start-with-movements-like-these/">wrote</a>, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/new-state-department-diversity-chief-believes-us-failed-historical-model-colonizing-past">reported</a>. “There are mechanisms and cultures which dispute the humanity and ability of people like me to be trusted to lead,” she added before saying that America’s institutions are “often riddled with racism, patriarchy and exclusion.”</p>
<p>“These are chinks in the armor of traditional leadership that refuse to reconcile with a colonizing past, or recognize that time has run out for experimentation and tweaking of a failed historic model,” Johnson wrote, also affirming the tenets of Critical Race Theory and stating that “we cannot have equity without dismantling structural racism, patriarchy and heterosexism.”</p>
<p>She also <a href="https://fairsharewl.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/FairShare_Action_Paper_en.pdf">co-authored a guide</a> called “Feminist Leaders for Feminist Goals” for the same organization, providing a how-to playbook for feminists to usurp &#8220;a culture of male and/ or white dominance&#8221; in organizations.</p>
<p>&#8220;Feminist leadership must change power structures. In order to achieve transformative change, we must analyze and question existing power structures and how they affect decision-making,” the guide reads. “How can we redefine, value, use, share and distribute power differently?&#8221;</p>
<p>Johnson claimed again in a 2020 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tG1PmqQX4Ow">webinar</a> with the Feminist Leadership Project that America’s institutions are racist and sexist. &#8220;Because we live and work within systems… so deeply rooted in patriarchy and colonialism and racism and otherism, we tend to be very resistant to shifts and changes,” Johnson said. “A culture of misogyny has allowed men to act without consequence and it becomes part of what we believe is normal, right?”</p>
<p>Johnson was previously a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) activist and owned two organizations: a DEI consulting firm called Odara Solutions and Black Women Disrupt, an effort to support black women entrepreneurs.</p>
<p>The State Department has spent at least $77 million taxpayer dollars on DEI efforts in just two years, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-state-department-forced-to-disclose-multi-million-dollar-cost-of-bidens-diversity-agenda">exclusively reported</a>.</p>

<p>The department has also pushed transgenderism across the globe, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-state-department-forced-to-disclose-multi-million-dollar-cost-of-bidens-diversity-agenda">employing former activist</a> Jessica Stern as its &#8220;Special Envoy to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Persons.&#8221; Stern has visited at least 22 countries across all six habitable continents, even attending a “transgender visibility” march in Brazil.</p>
<p>The Biden administration has leveraged the more expansive federal bureaucracy to push DEI, with the president even issuing <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/06/25/executive-order-on-diversity-equity-inclusion-and-accessibility-in-the-federal-workforce/">executive orders</a> to embed leftist policies throughout the government.</p>
<p>Former President Donald Trump has said he would gut the federal bureaucracy through his own executive orders if elected. “We will pass critical reforms making every executive branch employee fireable by the President of the United States,” Trump said at a rally, <a href="https://www.govexec.com/workforce/2022/03/trump-threatening-return-and-expansion-schedule-f/363145/">touting</a> the plan. “The deep state must be brought to heel.&#8221;</p>
