The Biden-Harris Internal Revenue Service is hiring a senior diversity practitioner who could make nearly $200,000 in taxpayer funds each year, more than three times the national average income.
The <a href="https://www.usajobs.gov/job/803623900">position</a> at the IRS is titled “senior diversity and inclusion specialist” and has a salary range of $122,198 to $191,900. The <a href="https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/average-salary-by-state/">average</a> annual American income in 2024 is $59,428, making the upper end of the IRS position’s salary range a full 3.2 times higher than average income. The specialist will be tasked with “identifying best practices that will incorporate diversity and inclusion in training material” and acting as a “trusted subject matter expert and source for diversity and inclusion educational services on the most complex and sensitive diversity and inclusion matters.”
The applicant selected for the role would also need to articulate “a sound business case for diversity that includes education and awareness at all levels of the organization” while tracking “diversity and inclusion education, marketing and communication strategies.”
The IRS job posting comes as the Biden-Harris administration has worked to embed the left-wing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda throughout the federal bureaucracy. The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mandatory-irs-diversity-training-includes-material-from-trans-academic-who-called-for-death-of-whiteness">revealed</a> that a DEI training for IRS criminal investigators cited and included content from a far-left transgender academic who called for the “death of whiteness” in a journal article titled “Dead Honky.”
The IRS is far from the only government agency that has been captured by leftist ideology and the DEI agenda.

ODNI also published a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/internal-docs-show-entire-intelligence-community-warned-to-avoid-problematic-phrases-on-islamic-terrorism">DEI newsletter</a> that celebrated one crossdressing intelligence agent and warned against using “problematic phrases” when discussing Islamic terrorism.
The National Security Agency created a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-leaked-nsa-doc-reveals-massive-woke-glossary-pushing-critical-race-theory-gender-ideology-on-govt-employees">34 page DEI glossary</a> with terms like “white fragility” and “transmisogyny.” And the Department of the Interior <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-federal-guide-on-inclusive-language-tells-bureaucrats-to-ditch-gendered-terms-like-son-daughter">published a guide</a> to &#8220;inclusive language&#8221; that instructed bureaucrats to ditch gendered terms like &#8220;son,&#8221; &#8220;daughter,&#8221; &#8220;husband,&#8221; and &#8220;wife.&#8221; The department also hosted an &#8220;ally awards&#8221; ceremony, where some bureaucrats performed a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/im-not-crying-you-are-video-captures-federal-bureaucrats-reciting-diversity-poem">diversity poem reading</a>.
The Commerce Department is hiring a Diversity Program Specialist who&#8217;ll be tasked with establishing &#8220;strategic partnerships with external diversity related organizations,&#8221; among other duties. The <a href="https://www.usajobs.gov/job/807462700#duties">active job listing</a> includes a maximum salary of $128,956 a year.
Former President Donald Trump has indicated that he would gut the federal bureaucracy if reelected, reigning in those who would otherwise obstruct his policy agenda.
“We will pass critical reforms making every executive branch employee fireable by the President of the United States,” Trump declared at a rally, <a href="https://www.govexec.com/workforce/2022/03/trump-threatening-return-and-expansion-schedule-f/363145/">touting</a> his plan. “The deep state must be brought to heel.”

Disney is hiring a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) director who could earn up to four times the national average income pushing a far-left agenda.
A <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/director-strategic-external-engagement-enterprise-dei-at-the-walt-disney-company-4001422945?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F">job posting</a> from the Walt Disney Company for a DEI director role advertises a minimum salary of $197,700 and a maximum salary of $241,500. The <a href="https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/average-salary-by-state/">average</a> American salary in 2024 is $59,428 annually.
“We&#8217;re seeking a Director of Strategic External Engagement &#8211; Enterprise DEI to lead our efforts in building strategic relationships with external stakeholders, driving community engagement, and generating valuable insights to support our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) objectives,” the job description reads.
The new director will be tasked with advancing the company&#8217;s left-wing program, and be required to “lead initiatives focused on specific dimensions of diversity,” and “amplify DEI content and communicate progress.”

The DEI agenda has come under criticism from consumer protection professionals who say that the ideology is both immoral and unprofitable.
&#8220;DEI is a scam. It is by definition an attack on competence, replacing it with the barest of bean counting racism and sexism&#8221; said Will Hild, Executive Director of <a href="https://consumersresearch.org/will-hild/">Consumers&#8217; Research</a>, a consumer protection non-profit. &#8220;There is zero value added by paying a DEI officer a quarter of a million dollars per year to enforce left-wing ideology. DEI departments add nothing to a company&#8217;s bottom line.&#8221;
<h4><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you.</a></h4>
&#8220;That Disney is doubling down on DEI instead of desperately trying to right their sinking financial ship by abandoning explicitly political storytelling tells you just how captured by the woke mind virus a once-great American company truly is,&#8221; Hild told The Daily Wire.
Disney has a history of pushing the far-left DEI ideology. A series of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/undercover-okeefe-video-disney-vp-says-the-company-discriminates-against-white-men">undercover investigations</a> from the O’Keefe Media Group revealed that the company could be engaging in anti-white, anti-male discrimination and is aggressively pushing the transgender agenda. Video shows a former Disney senior vice president saying he has been passed over for promotions because he was a white male.
“I have friends in HR and I have friends in other divisions. And they’re like, ‘Look, nobody else is going to tell you this, Mike, but they’re not considering any white males for the job,&#8217;” former senior vice president Michael Giordano said on camera to an undercover journalist.
Another <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-disney-pressures-employees-to-support-sex-change-attempts-undercover-report-finds">investigation</a> from the O’Keefe Media Group found that Disney pushes the transgender agenda on its employees and even compels them to encourage their coworkers’ transition attempts.
It also revealed that employees organized a “global employee collective” called the “Disney Pride Think Tank” that sought to “advance LGBTQ+ representation in our content, products, experiences, and services.”
While Disney has doubled down on its DEI program, other large corporations are retreating from the left-wing agenda amid public backlash. Harley-Davidson recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harley-davidson-becomes-latest-company-to-back-away-from-dei-policies">announced</a> that it would ditch its DEI practices, as have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tractor-supply-reverses-course-backs-out-of-woke-initiatives-following-conservative-backlash">Tractor Supply</a> and <a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/2024/08/26/lowes-scraps-some-dei-programs-as-activist-claims-another-win/">Lowe’s.</a>
According to Hild, companies like Disney refuse to abandon DEI in the face of opposition because &#8220;a narrow circle of Ivy League-educated Human Resources managers&#8221; who staff these companies is captivated by &#8220;wokeness.&#8221; He also noted that consumers can push corporations away from DEI.
&#8220;Consumers shouldn&#8217;t underestimate the importance of contacting the companies to express their disapproval, and criticizing or mocking them on social media.&#8221;

Michigan Technological University has rebranded its diversity office, the latest in a trend of schools renaming their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
The school&#8217;s Office of Diversity and Inclusion will now be known as &#8220;Engagement and Belonging,&#8221; the school <a href="https://blogs.mtu.edu/belonging/2024/08/01/introducing-engagement-and-belonging/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> on its website.
The change was made official on August 1.
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1724211156439000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2-L2DitSaIUj5wz8v0bgxx">Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you.</a>
&#8220;This change reflects Michigan Tech’s continued dedication to fostering a welcoming and supportive environment for all members of the University community, while emphasizing the intentional efforts made to achieve this goal,&#8221; the school said.
The office’s services, functions, and staff will remain the same, the school said.
&#8220;Engagement and Belonging is excited for this next chapter and looks forward to collaborating with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and external partners to further strengthen a sense of belonging for everyone at Michigan Tech,&#8221; the school said.
Michigan Tech did not respond to a request for comment.
The Upper Peninsula school is far from the first to make such a change amid controversy around DEI and its effects on higher education.
Last summer, the University of South Carolina reorganized and <a href="https://www.thestate.com/news/local/education/article278561334.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">renamed</a> its DEI office to the Division of Access, Civil Rights and Community Engagement.
In December, Clemson University, also in South Carolina, <a href="https://scdailygazette.com/2023/12/19/clemson-becomes-second-sc-university-to-rename-equity-and-inclusion-office/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">renamed</a> its DEI office the Division of Community Engagement, Belonging and Access.
In Texas, a new law prohibiting higher education institutions from having diversity offices prompted some Texas schools to give their DEI offices new names involving words like “belonging,” “community engagement,” and “student development.”
However, the Republican Texas lawmaker who sponsored the DEI law pushed back.
State Senator Brandon Creighton wrote letters to Texas&#8217; public university systems warning that simply renaming their diversity offices does not comply with the law.
“While I am encouraged with the progress I have seen from many institutions of higher education in implementing SB 17, I am deeply concerned with the possibility that many institutions may choose to merely rename their offices or employee titles,” Creighton <a href="https://mcusercontent.com/97acf22aca6983d50d142ba88/files/2094d322-b63e-9c09-9f97-42b0169c58d2/3.26.24_.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>.

“This letter should serve as notice that this practice is unacceptable,” he said.
Numerous states <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/data-graphics/anti-dei-bills-states-republican-lawmakers-map-rcna140756" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have</a> introduced legislation to ban or crack down on DEI programs and practices over the last several years.
Florida&#8217;s education board banned public colleges from using state or federal funds on DEI initiatives.
Utah prohibited diversity programs such as DEI statements in higher education, public schools, and government employment. The state also banned the words “diversity, equity and inclusion” from being in a public office&#8217;s name.
In Arizona, where a bill to ban DEI practices passed, Republican state Senator Anthony Kern said, “We don’t want public money going to political activism; promoting DEI.”

U.S.

The Biden administration has launched a sweeping effort to embed the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda throughout the federal bureaucracy, leveraging race and sexuality-based employee associations to push for leftwing ideology within the administrative state.
Biden’s June 2021 <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 order</a> on “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in the federal workforce” ordered the bureaucracy to allow for the creation of employee resource groups. The groups, <a href="https://handbook.tts.gsa.gov/training-and-development/working-groups-and-guilds-101/">described</a> by the government as &#8220;spaces where employees of similar identities can talk freely amongst themselves and come together based on shared identities,&#8221; were supposed to &#8220;eliminate&#8221; the &#8220;barriers to equity.&#8221;
It advertises several invite-only groups, including for Latinx, Working While Black, and even one called Not Your Dude, which is intended for “cis women, trans women, trans men, non-binary people, and those who are otherwise marginalized (i.e., non-hegemonic masculine folks).&#8221;
“Some groups are available by invitation-only,” a government website explains. “If you do not share that identity, show your allyship by respecting those private gatherings and giving space for people to gather and talk freely amongst themselves.”
The program has support from the Office of Personnel Management, the federal government’s human resources division, which has <a href="https://www.opm.gov/about-us/agency-equity-action-plan/summary-of-equity-progress-and-early-accomplishments/">hosted</a> two government-wide summits on employee resource groups and affinity groups. OPM says the groups serve to “support agency efforts to strategically advance DEIA.”
At the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of the Interior, these newly-created identity-based employee groups have been used organizing hubs for leftwing bureaucrats.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the top intelligence agency that oversees the CIA, NSA, FBI, and elements of the Pentagon, explained in a <a href="https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/FOIA/DF-2024-00143-Dive-Winter-23-24.pdf">document obtained</a> by The Daily Wire that affinity groups led a race-based leadership development program. The African American Affinity Network and the Latino Intelligence Network hosted a leadership summit where attendees “learned about unique opportunities at other agencies” and were invited to a workshop on building a professional brand.
The document also shows that employee resource groups within the intelligence community for those who are Asian or Pacific Islander have influenced how America’s intelligence apparatus refers to our foreign adversaries. The employee organizations “have been particularly successful in creating a new framework and language guidelines for how we talk about the People’s Republic of China,” the <a href="https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/FOIA/DF-2024-00143-Dive-Winter-23-24.pdf">document</a> obtained by The Daily Wire reads.
At the National Security Agency (NSA), there are 10 different <a href="https://www.nsa.gov/culture/diversity-equity-inclusion-accessibility/employee-resource-groups/">employee resource groups</a>, the majority of which are based on employees’ racial or ethnic backgrounds. “These employee-led groups are composed of individuals who work together to foster an inclusive and unified culture,” the NSA states. “Individuals may join ERGs as either a member or ally.”
The CIA’s Pride Employee Resource Group, for those who identify as LGBT, organized the Intelligence Community’s 2022 <a href="https://www.nsa.gov/Press-Room/News-Highlights/Article/Article/3078934/2022-ic-pride-summit-embraces-bringing-authenticity-to-the-workplace/">Pride Summit</a>, which included sessions with titles like “Pride &amp; Color: A Queer Person of Color Experience,” “Transgender Inclusion Training,” and “LGBTQIA+ &amp; Disability.”
&#8220;LGBTQIA&#8221;+ employee resource groups from the U.S. Geological Survey, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Land Management, and National Park Service held a panel discussion as part of a celebration of “transgender day of visibility,” The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-celebrates-trans-day-of-visibility-by-screening-movie-pushing-for-more-queer-marine-biologists">revealed</a>. Federal bureaucrats were invited to watch a mini-documentary on LGBT representation in the field of marine biology.
The DOI and the agencies that operate underneath it have a <a href="https://www.doi.gov/pmb/hr/employee-orgs#Employee%20Orgs">long list</a> of employee resource groups, like the Fish and Wildlife Services’ BIPOC ERG, which exists to “promote solidarity and support among BIPOC employees and allies; in order to harness our collective strengths toward creating positive, lasting change that advances justice, equity, diversity, inclusion.” There’s also the U.S. Geological Survey’s Pride ERG, which seeks to “assist in cultivating an inclusive and high-performing workforce that empowers all of its LGBTQ employees.”
The Department of the Treasury explained in its <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/306/Treasury_FY2021-2024_DI_EEO_Strategic_Plan.pdf">diversity and inclusion plan</a> that employee resource groups would be leveraged to push DEI throughout the agency, meeting with bureau leadership “to identify methods to promote D&amp;I throughout the organization. The National Institutes of Health similarly <a href="https://www.edi.nih.gov/people/resources/employee-resource-groups">states</a> that employee resource groups are used to facilitate “employee activism inside and outside the workplace.”
Employee resource groups and affinity groups are just one way in which the Biden administration is embedding the DEI agenda throughout the federal bureaucracy. The Democratic incumbent <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2023/02/16/executive-order-on-further-advancing-racial-equity-and-support-for-underserved-communities-through-the-federal-government/">signed</a> multiple <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> institutionalizing the leftwing doctrine, and his federal agencies have even worked to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-the-biden-admin-enables-government-employees-to-change-genders">enable gender transition</a> attempts among government employees, barring the use of biologically accurate pronouns in the process.
While Biden has sought to further embed the DEI agenda within the federal government, former President Donald Trump has pledged to use executive orders of his own to purge far-left bureaucrats who may otherwise undermine his agenda. “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> his plan. “The deep state must be brought to heel.”
Trump’s allies are preparing to fill the void left by outgoing bureaucrats, with the Heritage Foundation’s <a href="https://www.project2025.org/">Project 2025</a> assembling a personnel database that could step into the administration in the event of a Trump victory.

A Republican congressman grilled the Biden administration&#8217;s Secretary of Labor Julie Su over a proposed rule that would force companies involved in the Department of Labor’s apprenticeship program to implement diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) measures.
If enacted, the <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/01/17/2023-27851/national-apprenticeship-system-enhancements">proposed rule</a> would seek to “diversify the National Apprenticeship System by enhancing worker protections and equity,” embedding DEI practices in the nationwide <a href="https://www.apprenticeship.gov/about-us">program</a> to connect employers with workers looking for skilled labor opportunities.
Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) highlighted for Su during a hearing on the rule an agency <a href="https://www.apprenticeship.gov/sites/default/files/Final%20ACA%20Biennial%20Report%20-%20May%2010%202023.pdf">document</a> claiming that many apprenticeship programs involved in the DOL initiative are “actively hostile” to the idea of hiring women or racial minorities.
“Can you explain what that means?” Banks asked, referencing the claim that many employers involved in the apprenticeship program are hostile to those who are not white men. “Do you agree that some registered apprenticeship programs are managed by racists? And if so, who are they?”
Su explained that she wasn’t familiar with the document referenced by Banks before adding, “I  think that there is no reason why we should not be able to tap into the full talent and ability and promise of every single American in every single community.”
Banks told The Daily Wire that the Biden administration uses <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-pentagon-used-debunked-mckinsey-studies-to-justify-dei-in-the-military">flawed research</a> to push its DEI agenda, but that policies associated with the leftwing ideology are detrimental to the country. “The Biden administration has no choice but to rely on junk science and lies to sell its woke agenda. The honest truth is that DEI is making America weaker and more divided.”
Banks challenged Su again on the DOL document. “The recommendations also — say that registered apprenticeships have been ‘the domain of white able-bodied men.’ That&#8217;s a direct quote from the recommendation from the committee in your department,” Banks noted before asking “Do you agree with that comment?”
“Is having fewer white men in apprenticeships the goal of all of the DEI provisions in the proposed rule?” Banks went on to press, with Su responding, “Absolutely not.”
The Congressman from Indiana turned his attention to a portion of the rule that would demand that states submit reports outlining their efforts to diversify apprenticeship programs. Banks noted that the rule “would require states to submit a strategic plan for increasing participation from underserved communities that include the current participation by each race and demographic group and set specific targets for increasing participation by each race.”
“Will the Department punish states that do not meet the proposed rules’ racial quotas?” Banks asked. Su dodged the question again, saying, “We have never gone wrong in this country when we have expanded opportunities,” adding, “I don’t even know what punitive scheme you are talking about.”
One <a href="https://www.apprenticeship.gov/sites/default/files/DOL_DEIAFactsheet_v2.pdf">government document</a> advocating for the use of DEI criteria in apprenticeship programs relies on a debunked study from consulting firm McKinsey and Company to incorrectly assert that greater diversity led to increased profitability for corporations. McKinsey’s flawed studies were also used by the Biden administration’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-pentagon-used-debunked-mckinsey-studies-to-justify-dei-in-the-military">Pentagon</a> to justify the implementation of the DEI agenda.
The Biden administration has directed the entirety of the federal bureaucracy and the military to implement DEI practices, leveraging the might of the administrative state to codify leftist ideology as a matter of official government policy.
Former President Trump and his allies have committed to firing bureaucrats who’ve pushed the leftwing agenda and who may otherwise undermine his policy efforts. “We will pass critical reforms making every executive branch employee fireable by the president of the United States,” Trump <a href="https://www.govexec.com/workforce/2022/03/trump-threatening-return-and-expansion-schedule-f/363145/">pledged</a> at a rally. “The deep state must be brought to heel.”
Others are preparing for the potential outflow of bureaucrats, with Trump’s allies assembling a personnel database of those who might serve in the next administration through the <a href="https://www.project2025.org/">Project 2025</a> Presidential Transition Project, an initiative from the Heritage Foundation that seeks to “pave the way for an effective conservative Administration.”

The Biden campaign recently announced that it is hiring a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) director who will be responsible for the campaign’s DEI strategy and receive a salary of up to $120,000.
The role, recently <a href="https://www.daybook.com/jobs/pZ6LgARxLuHKrkAAN">advertised online</a>, will pay between $95,000 and $120,000, with the director being responsible for DEI strategy and programming on the Biden campaign, educating staff on the topic and even influencing hiring practices.
“The DEI Director will focus on creating and executing a comprehensive strategy to attract and support diverse talent to further the campaign’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion,” the job listing reads. “They will also be responsible for upskilling and further educating campaign staff around DEI.”
The Biden campaign’s DEI director will also be responsible for implementing “DEI-focused workshops for management and other staffers in service of educating and upskilling campaign staff on the DEI space and specific initiatives,” as well as managing and reporting “on the campaign’s diversity efforts, leveraging best in class tools including developing an internal dashboard to support data analysis and reporting.”
The position will also have direct influence on the campaign’s hiring decisions, with the DEI director being tasked with reviewing “hiring practices and outcomes to ensure diverse talent is represented and successful in candidacy at all levels of the campaign.”
The Biden campaign’s decision to hire a DEI director comes as the Democratic incumbent has ordered the federal bureaucracy to embrace the leftwing agenda and institutionalize it throughout the federal workforce’s policies. Biden signed an <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 order</a> in 2021, called the “Executive Order on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce,” that formalized the presence of the ideology within the administrative state.
Former President Donald Trump has since pledged to gut the administrative state by re-issuing an executive order called Schedule F, which would remove civil service protections from bureaucrats who occupy a position that impacts policymaking. “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.”

Billionaire Robert Kraft&#8217;s company, best known for owning the New England Patriots, is under fire for a job posting that appears to discriminate against white applicants on the basis of their race.
The Kraft Group, a holding company that owns the Patriots, the New England Revolution soccer team, and Gillette Stadium where both play, posted a job listing for a Sports Management Associate position that lists having <a href="https://archive.is/rtltZ">a non-white racial background</a> as a qualification, specifying that it&#8217;s looking for a “BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and Person of Color)” individual.
“The goal of this program is to diversify the future of the sports and entertainment management industry by providing opportunity and access to BIPOC candidates connected to the New England community,” the <a href="https://www.whatjobs.com/job/Sports-Management-Associate/massachusetts/1531057270?utm_campaign=google_jobs_apply&amp;utm_source=google_jobs_apply&amp;utm_medium=organic">job posting</a> reads.
The Kraft Group claims in the same job posting that it is an “equal opportunity employer” that evaluates applicants “without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, and other legally protected characteristics.”
The job listing was posted to ZipRecruiter, which <a href="https://dallasexpress.com/business-markets/whites-need-not-apply-kraft-sports-suggests/">told The Dallas Express</a> that it violated the platform’s terms of use and would be removed.
“We’re in the process of removing the job posting,” the platform explained. “ZipRecruiter has an established Trust &amp; Safety team and Job Quality team that review listings on accounts that are brought to their attention via a system flag or job seeker complaint.”
The Kraft Group did not respond to a request for comment.
The Equal Opportunity Employment Commission <a href="https://www.eeoc.gov/prohibited-employment-policiespractices">explains</a> that “it is illegal to discriminate against someone (applicant or employee) because of that person’s race.” It also points out that “it is illegal for an employer to publish a job advertisement that shows a preference for or discourages someone from applying for a job because of his or her race, color, religion, sex.”
The Kraft Group is far from the only company that has discriminated against white people in the name of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). A “diversity internship” at NASCAR <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/blatantly-illegal-nascar-bans-white-applicants-from-diversity-internship">banned</a> white applicants on the basis of their race and was called “blatantly illegal” by one lawyer, an investigation from The Daily Wire revealed. NASCAR <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nascar-takes-down-blatantly-illegal-racial-requirement-for-internship-after-daily-wire-report">removed</a> the racial eligibility requirement following the report from The Daily Wire.
Anti-white discrimination has also become commonplace throughout the tech industry, with companies applying racially biased selection criteria to internships and career advancement programs. Tech companies <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ibm-hosts-internships-that-bar-whites-asians-and-men-with-exception-for-men-who-identify-as-women">IBM</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/oracle-internship-scholarship-opportunities-bar-whites-and-asians-on-the-basis-of-race">Oracle</a>, both of which hosted internship programs that excluded both white and Asian applicants on the basis of their race.
Apple hosted entrepreneur training programs that are only open to companies with leaders who are women or who are not white or Asian, an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/apple-entrepreneur-camp-program-bars-applicants-based-on-race">investigation</a> from The Daily Wire previously reported. Microsoft even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/microsoft-brags-that-it-pays-white-employees-less-than-non-white-employees-despite-same-job-title">bragged</a> in a diversity report that it pays white employees less than non-white employees who have the same job title in the name of pay equity.
Other well-known companies, including Best Buy, Liberty Mutual, US Bank, and Bayer Pharmaceuticals, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/major-bank-pharmaceutical-giant-participated-in-mckinsey-training-that-banned-white-people">participated</a> in career advancement training programs from McKinsey and Company that banned white employees on the basis of their race.

New England Patriots Owner Under Fire For Discriminatory ‘BIPOC’ Job Requirement

Nashville’s police department changed its standards to increase the number of female officers that make up its workforce.
As part of an initiative to make the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department’s 30% female, the MNPD dropped an ability test for police recruits and replaced it with an easier agility test, WSMV <a href="https://www.wsmv.com/2024/03/14/metro-police-working-increase-female-recruits/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The change resulted in more recruits passing, particularly women.
The original test, known as the Cooper Standards Test, “measured pushups, sit ups, a 300-meter sprint and a 1.5-mile run,” <a href="https://www.nashville.gov/sites/default/files/2022-10/Civil-Service-Test-Comparison-Public-Report.pdf?ct=1667220679" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a report</a> from the MNPD said. During an 18-month period between 2019 and 2021, a total of 1138 recruits attempted to join the MNPD. Of those, 72 (6%) failed the Cooper Standards Test.
In 2021, Police Chief John Drake signed the 30&#215;30 initiative to make women 30 percent of the MNPD by 2030. Part of this drive involved dropping the Cooper Standards Test in favor of the Physical Agility Test which “consists of a 99-yard agility run, a rescue simulation (dummy drag), chain link fence climb, solid wall climb and a 500 yard run,” according to the MNPD.
In the 18 months following the change, 967 recruits applied for jobs at the MNPD, 843 progressed in the hiring process, and just 22 failed the Physical Agility Test, a fail rate of just 2%.
While more women failed than men (15 versus seven), the agility test is seen as a way to get more women onto the force.
Commander Tiffany Gibson, the MNPD’s first female director of training with the department’s Training Academy, told WSMV that women made up 11% of the department in 2023 and now make up 13%.
“We’re definitely growing, so if we can just keep that momentum going,” Gibson told the outlet. “I believe that it is definitely attainable. We still have some time, and we’re just going to keep working really hard to keep making sure that we get there, at least very close to it.”
In addition to the physical test changes, the MNPD has added lactation rooms for nursing moms and more flexible schedules, which would also benefit male officers. Female police officers already receive maternity leave, and both male and female officers can take sick days.

In the future, Gibson said she hopes to build a 24/7 childcare facility for the families of MNPD staff and officers.
“We’re trying to get going, possibly help sponsor our own childcare facility, and I think that would be really helpful for females definitely, but also for families in general at the department,” Gibson told WSMV.
New officer Emma Long told the outlet she hopes the changes lead to more women in the MNPD.
“More qualified and strong women to be in this police department and be leaders in this police department,” she said. “I mean I think it would be a great thing to see.”

Gideons International, the Christian organization known for distributing Bibles to hospitals across the country, is being blocked out by a large hospital system in rural Georgia because of new diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. 
Gideons, which distributes its free Bibles to not only hospitals, but also various other locations like hotels, and jails, is now blocked from servicing the Phoebe Putney Health System, which serves hundreds of thousands of people in over 40 Georgia counties and is one of the state’s largest healthcare providers. Gideons hasn&#8217;t had its Bibles in the system&#8217;s hospitals for months after maintaining a working relationship for several years, according to sources who spoke with The Daily Wire.
The policy raises questions about why inclusion policies would be used to exclude Christians from sharing Bibles with those who are sick or on their deathbed. It also raises questions how such a policy could be in place in a place referred to by locals as the “belt buckle” of the Bible belt. 
Gideons was founded in 1899 and has distributed over 2 billion Bibles in more than 95 languages to 200 countries and territories. It is most well known for placing Bibles in night stands in hotels across America with about a million being distributed every year to hotels and motels.
A source familiar with intimate knowledge of the situation said that Gideons was first restricted during the response to the coronavirus pandemic from entering Phoebe. The organization wasn&#8217;t let back in after COVID restrictions were relaxed and they attempted to resume their work last year. At the time, the Gideons were told their work was &#8220;a violation of the DEI policy and they would no longer be allowed&#8221; into the Phoebe facilities, according to the source.
The source said that the policy was &#8220;clearly anti-Christian&#8221; and that citing DEI to restrict the Gideons made no sense because Christians were being excluded instead of included.
Neither Phoebe’s communications team nor its chief DEI officer responded to multiple requests for comments. Scott <a href="https://www.phoebehealth.com/about-us/leadership/executive-leadership-pphs">Steiner,</a> the CEO of Phoebe, is aware of the exclusion of the Gideons from Phoebe facilities, as are several members of the board of the health system, according to a source familiar with the situation. 
The source said that hospital policies started to take a leftward drift when Phoebe brought on Steiner as CEO back in 2019, which is evidenced by the fact that he has pushed DEI principles throughout the health system since taking the helm of Phoebe. Steiner is a <a href="https://www.phoebehealth.com/media-center/media-center-news-story?news=8108" target="_blank" rel="noopener">member</a> of the Georgia Diversity Council, which <a href="http://www.georgiadiversitycouncil.org/portfolio/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describes</a> itself as the “premier resource for diversity best practices and leadership development in the state of Georgia.”
In previous comments, Steiner has said that his staff managers are not diverse enough and that he would take the lead on changing that.
“We have an incredibly vibrant and diverse workforce that is representative of the communities we serve,” he <a href="https://www.albanyherald.com/news/phoebe-s-new-diversity-council-gets-to-work/article_8be1dc9c-37fe-11eb-be93-cba746b68add.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at the health system’s diversity council&#8217;s first meeting in January 2022. “In some areas of our organization — like on our management team — that diversity has been less evident, and we are committed to looking at ways to making meaningful change.”
He added that looking at the diversity situation at Phoebe “might make me a little uncomfortable, but if we’re not dealing with discomfort head-on, then we’re not diving in deeply and honestly enough.”
According to the Albany Herald, pursuing diversity policies was a major focus of Steiner when he took over Phoebe and he appointed Jennifer Williams to be the system’s diversity and inclusion officer. William’s <a href="https://archive.ph/6O6Yp">bio</a> says that she is a “bridge-builder and believes in the value of diversity of thought.”
Under Williams, Phoebe has begun <a href="http://albanyceo.com/video/2024/01/dr-jennifer-williams-phoebe-putney-health-system-creating-inclusive-workplace/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tracking</a> how much money it spends with “diverse” local suppliers, tracking improvement on “diversity” each year, and conducting focus groups with employees. 
“We began with focus groups made up of minority leaders across the health system — distilling their input into key action items,” Williams said. “Two recommendations were the establishment of a permanent diversity council and systemwide diversity and unconscious bias training. Our senior leaders and health system board quickly adopted those recommendations, and we’ve been off and running.”
The exclusion of the Gideons at Phoebe Health comes as the medical institutions across the country face criticism for focusing on DEI as opposed to merit and teaching the actual medical field.

Here&#8217;s a statistic that, at least if you were born at any point prior to the 1990s, is probably pretty hard to believe. By revenue, the gaming industry is <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesagencycouncil/2023/11/17/the-gaming-industry-a-behemoth-with-unprecedented-global-reach/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bigger</a> than both the movie industry and the music industry — combined. And for the past several years, it hasn&#8217;t been particularly close. The difference is consistently more than $100 billion per year. Games are a massive market, one that&#8217;s mostly targeted at young people. But despite those numbers, for the most part, the games industry has avoided mainstream scrutiny. You&#8217;ll see far more discussion about, say, Sydney Sweeney or Taylor Swift than you&#8217;ll ever see about prominent video game voice actors and directors — who pretty much no one knows anything about. Everyone&#8217;s heard of Lionsgate, or Paramount, but almost no one&#8217;s heard of studios like &#8220;Don&#8217;t Nod Entertainment,&#8221; for example.
And that&#8217;s significant, because these no-name studios are behind the single most coordinated effort to indoctrinate millions of children through entertainment that&#8217;s ever occurred in this country. This effort is maybe more powerful than teachers&#8217; unions, if only because these propagandists mostly work in secret. Even if you homeschool your children, they&#8217;re not immune to it. You might have heard something about one of the companies behind this indoctrination effort, called &#8220;Sweet Baby Inc&#8221; or SBI. In a moment, I&#8217;ll get into the details about what exactly they&#8217;re doing, and who&#8217;s helping them do it.
But first, I want to get the good news out of the way. If there&#8217;s any silver lining, it&#8217;s that this effort to indoctrinate children is incredibly hamfisted. Some of the dumbest people in the world are behind it. Take that studio I just mentioned — &#8220;Don&#8217;t Nod Entertainment.&#8221; They&#8217;re behind the very popular &#8220;Life is Strange&#8221; video game series, which has been played by tens of millions of people. To give you an idea of how overt the propaganda is in &#8220;Life is Strange,&#8221; here&#8217;s just one, mercifully short sequence involving — what else — a racist white guy. There&#8217;s some backstory about how he kidnapped an innocent Hispanic kid or something:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="002 Life Is Strange 2 V2" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/t27RP8fSKGk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&#8220;We need to build a wall,&#8221; says the white racist kidnapping the innocent Hispanic boy. This is a game that, if Wikipedia is to be believed, received &#8220;generally positive reviews. &#8230; Critics praised the story.&#8221;
So we can conclude that the bar is incredibly low in this entire industry. All that developers have to do is beat their audience over the head with rote Left-wing propaganda, and their game will be well-received. The more recent game &#8220;Suicide Squad&#8221; is another prominent example. They decided to write a story about Batman&#8217;s toxic masculinity, which ended with a girlboss shooting Batman. Here&#8217;s part of that sequence:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="003 Batman Death Scene" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/t6WkeBvIonU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
You can just imagine how many purple-haired women must work at that studio. They probably provide the hair dye on tap. I didn&#8217;t play that game, obviously. I haven&#8217;t played any of these games. I am not a video game fan or player, as most people I think know by now. But the point is that these clips were all over the internet because of how awful they are. They&#8217;re just terrible in every way — even just from a quality perspective — even if you happen to agree with their politics.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1326-the-radical-wokeness-of-the-video-game-industry-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
But the fact remains that, for children of a certain age, the propaganda doesn&#8217;t need to be subtle. All they need to do is present it to children, and it can be effective. That&#8217;s why some anonymous people using the games platform &#8220;Steam&#8221; decided to figure out exactly who&#8217;s putting this garbage in games, and why.
They found that the company I mentioned earlier, called &#8220;Sweet Baby Inc.&#8221; — no relation to the Sweet Baby Gang, I swear off any association and I would file a lawsuit for copyright infringement, if not for the fact that I don’t have a copyright, and also Sweet Baby Inc. existed first, technically, but never mind that — anyway, these people on Steam found that Sweet Baby Inc. has contracted with major publishers to push principles of DEI in video games, as aggressively as possible. Sweet Baby Inc., or SBI, worked with the developers of the game I just showed you, Suicide Squad. They&#8217;ve also had a role in several other major releases.
On their website, SBI boasts that they&#8217;re committed to installing principles of &#8220;diversity&#8221; into games. And they do it forcibly. In fact, the co-founder and CEO of SBI, a woman named Kim Belair, recently spoke to game developers and instructed them to threaten their companies unless they comply with Sweet Baby&#8217;s DEI mandates:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="004 CEO" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QrtmDwwfzyQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This is how DEI works in every industry, of course. The goal isn&#8217;t to improve the company&#8217;s product in any way. It&#8217;s to blackmail companies and threaten them into submission. Pay the DEI tax, or we&#8217;ll destroy you. Only in the games industry, where everyone is dumber than they are in every other industry, do they just come right out and say it.
Along these lines, as you might have guessed, so-called games journalists are somehow even dumber than journalists in other industries, too — which is really saying something. They&#8217;re completely unable to hide their real goals or display any hint of subtlety whatsoever. For example, in response to clips like this surfacing, games writers have produced several articles portraying SBI as the victim of a &#8220;harassment campaign&#8221; — by which they mean people are noticing what SBI is doing. For example, here&#8217;s how a writer for the website Polygon, Joshua Rivera, <a href="https://twitter.com/jmrivera02/status/1767600140695867472?s=20">responded</a> to people who are concerned about SBI: &#8220;In a just world these clowns would have their steam accounts turned off, their PlayStations bricked and get booted from any respectable social platform.&#8221;
So in the games industry, the journalists just come right out and demand that you&#8217;re deleted from the Internet if you dare to look deeper into their narrative. So let&#8217;s do that. In a recent podcast, Kim Belair explains that her company&#8217;s mandate is to make every game political. There has to be &#8220;diverse representation&#8221; in all contexts, even in, say, World War I:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="005 Diversity" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/59Gw7-_7CAk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
So SBI wants to &#8220;build a narrative and a story that includes moments and elements custom-made to bring representation and joy to people.&#8221; And she uses the example of World War I. There weren&#8217;t a whole lot of women fighting on the front lines of World War I. But they shoehorn that into their game anyway, because at every possible opportunity, they need to minimize and demonize white men. White men cannot be the hero of anything, even historical events where they were the heroes, like World War I. The point is to attack white men whenever possible.
We&#8217;re seeing this at all levels in the gaming industry. Here, for example, is Dani Lalonders. She reportedly used <a href="https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1767681553755509171">to work</a> at Sweet Baby Inc. just a year ago. Now she works for a studio at EA, one of the biggest games studios on the planet. Watch as she explains why she doesn&#8217;t hire white people on her team, because they commit all kinds of microaggressions:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="006 Racist Nonbinary Sweet Baby" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eMaHJ_mugvY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Notice that she doesn&#8217;t say what the white microaggressions were. Maybe those nasty white people said something nice about her hair. Maybe they asked where she was from. Maybe they say, &#8220;Hey, cut that line of dialogue about building the wall — it&#8217;s a little too on the nose.&#8221; Who knows? In any event, this is an employee of a major games studio straight-up admitting that she doesn&#8217;t hire white people. This isn&#8217;t just unethical; it&#8217;s illegal. It&#8217;s the kind of thing that&#8217;s usually left unsaid in major corporations. But it&#8217;s standard practice in the games industry to just come right out and announce it. To give another example — also in response to the SBI story — a senior editor at the gaming site Kotaku wrote, &#8220;hi! you can&#8217;t be racist against white people! thanks for tuning in!&#8221;
The people writing this garbage are &#8220;true believers.&#8221; They&#8217;re the low-IQ foot soldiers. But the reason they&#8217;re so well-funded is more interesting. As the former games executive Mark Kern explained this week, the cost of producing games is extremely high. It&#8217;s higher than it&#8217;s ever been, in fact. So games studios are looking to raise money in any way possible. And one way to get a lot of money is through ESG financing:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="007 Former developer" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_ea7z-2yyWs?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
What <a href="http://e.sg/">ESG</a> financing entails, Kern goes on to say, is that games studios have to agree to all kinds of conditions — including hiring companies like SBI to &#8220;diversify&#8221; their games.
In other words, what&#8217;s happening here is much bigger than SBI. It&#8217;s about the companies that fund SBI. That includes a fund called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2Er7X1PSHM&amp;t=425s">Baby Ghosts</a>, which is also run by anti-white managers who are proud of their bigotry. It also includes the biggest institutional investors on the planet, like Vanguard and Blackrock, which own a substantial portion of gaming companies like Microsoft. These entities are creating the incentives. The only good news, as Kern points out later in that interview, is that ESG financing is drying up, in part because interest rates are changing. And there&#8217;s more exposure than ever to this propaganda, which makes it less effective.

The U.S. government appears to be aware of that, and they view it as a potential problem. They want the propaganda to continue. We know that because, on its website, a nonprofit called &#8220;Take This&#8221; <a href="https://boundingintocomics.com/2024/03/12/us-government-funded-non-profit-take-this-responds-to-sweet-baby-inc-backlash-by-calling-on-video-game-industry-to-clearly-and-unequivocally-denounce-gamergate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">labels</a> all criticism of SBI as &#8220;harassment.&#8221; They&#8217;re coordinating a response to it. What&#8217;s &#8220;Take This&#8221;? Apparently, according to their website, they&#8217;re a &#8220;mental health nonprofit&#8221; that&#8217;s funded by the Department of Homeland Security. In other words, your tax dollars are paying for the defense of propagandists targeting children in the video game industry. For some reason, DHS is involved.
And actually, it&#8217;s worse than that. As the Intercept <a href="https://theintercept.com/2024/03/09/fbi-dhs-gamers-extremism-violence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> this month, &#8220;Gaming companies are coordinating with the FBI and Department of Homeland Security to root out so-called domestic violent extremist content, according to a new government report. Noting that mechanisms have been established with social media companies to police extremism, the report recommends that the national security agencies establish new and similar processes with the vast gaming industry.&#8221;
What this means is that the video game industry — without a lot of fanfare — has transformed into a tool of both propaganda and surveillance. It&#8217;s an effective way to indoctrinate children precisely because it hasn&#8217;t received much attention. Now, finally, that attention is here. And it&#8217;s yet another reason to keep these games as far away from your children as possible. If you do that, games journalists — literally the lowest form of journalist on the planet — will accuse you of &#8220;harassment.&#8221; That&#8217;s how you&#8217;ll know you&#8217;re doing the right thing.

Daily Wire host Michael Knowles took the stage at the 2024 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, where he discussed America’s “identity crisis” and the disunity caused by the illegal immigration crisis.
Knowles’ <a href="https://rumble.com/v4f0r6t-cpac-in-dc-2024-watch-now.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CPAC speech</a> comes a year after his remarks at the conservative event <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-knew-the-libs-were-going-to-run-with-it-knowles-says-call-to-eradicate-transgender-ideology-cornered-left-wing-media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">triggered backlash</a> from leftists after the Daily Wire host said that “transgenderism must be eradicated from public life.” Some media outlets falsely reported that Knowles called for the eradication of transgender people when the host had instead <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-to-eradicate-transgenderism-from-public-life" target="_blank" rel="noopener">focused his speech</a> on ridding society of the trans ideology. This year, Knowles focused on how the U.S. must focus on unity, not diversity, arguing that for the country to find its identity, it must get back to acknowledging the principles it was founded upon.
“What that whole little kerfuffle demonstrated,” Knowles said, referring to the Left&#8217;s response to his speech last year, “was that America is experiencing an identity crisis. We no longer know who we are.”
“Lots of little errors have led to our present identity crisis. The most obvious being that we no longer have functional borders,” the Daily Wire host continued. “Over the past three years, Joe Biden has invited almost six million foreigners into our country illegally.”
Knowles then slammed one party in particular for allowing the massive influx of illegal immigrants into the country.
“This Democrat-led invasion is the largest human trafficking operation in human history,” Knowles said. “The vast majority of Americans knows that it&#8217;s wrong. The vast majority of Americans wants it to come to an end, but we are told that we must tolerate the destruction of our borders and the invasion of our country because we are a nation of immigrants.”
The conservative commentator disputed the argument that the U.S. is “a nation of immigrants,” saying that “neither that phrase nor that sentiment appears anywhere in our founding documents.”
He added that the common phrase was hard to find anywhere until the mid-1960s when the Democratic Party instituted its policy in support of mass migration.

“They believed as they believe today that doing so would give them a permanent electoral majority,” said Knowles. “Even so, we are told, we must tolerate this cynical political trick because ‘diversity is our strength.&#8217;”
The Daily Wire host then argued that America’s strength is not found in its diversity but in its unity. Knowles said that for most of the country’s history, America placed tight restrictions on immigrants, “not because we didn’t like immigrants, we liked them very much … but we had always understood, as all wise statesman had understood, that a country with an unlimited influx of unassimilated foreign people becomes unstable and risks losing its very identity.”

Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) is pressing a taxpayer-funded television service over the existence of a “diversity” fund that appears to discriminate against white filmmakers and violate the Civil Rights Act, according to a <a href="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/2024.02.01-Letter-to-ITVS-re-Diversity-Development-Fund-1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> obtained by The Daily Wire. 
On Thursday, Cruz questioned the Independent Television Service (ITVS), a congressionally chartered production service funded by taxpayers, over its Diversity Development Fund, a <a href="https://itvs.org/funding/diversity-development-fund/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research and development scholarship</a> of up to $35,000 that is available exclusively for “directors of color.” In a letter to ITVS CEO Carrie Lozano, Cruz said that the organization should make the fund available to applicants of all races and said that the organization appears to be biased toward liberal filmmakers. 
“Because white filmmakers are facially ineligible for this seed money, the fund runs afoul of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866,&#8221; Cruz wrote. &#8220;I therefore urge you to remove race as an eligibility criterion for the Diversity Development Fund. ITVS can surely pursue its mandate to ‘expand the diversity and innovativeness’ of public programming without violating the law.&#8221;
ITVS <a href="https://cpb.org/programs/ITVS-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gets</a> about $17 million per year in taxpayer funds from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. According to ITVS, the diversity fund <a href="https://archive.ph/g79rw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has been</a> used to make 156 films and is only eligible for filmmakers who “identify as a person of color.” 
Cruz, the ranking member on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, said that the diversity fund was “actively flouting” federal law because Title VI of the Civil Rights Act prohibits federal dollars from going toward programs or activities that discriminate on the basis of race. The Texas Republican asked ITVS to provide full details on how much money had been allocated to the Diversity Development Fund and details on the recipients of the fund and their projects. 
Cruz said that the fund is not only discriminatory, but also appears to be pushing partisan politics with government money.
“As if this blatant violation of the law were not concerning enough, ITVS appears to almost exclusively fund documentaries from a liberal viewpoint, and may be discriminating against certain filmmakers based on political ideology,&#8221; Cruz told The Daily Wire. &#8220;I have no doubt this organization could expand the ‘diversity and innovativeness’ of public programming without violating the law, and I am hopeful ITVS will commit to removing race as an eligibility criterion for the Diversity Development Fund.&#8221;
Cruz highlighted how ITVS brags on its website about encouraging political activism. &#8220;The ITVS website features an &#8216;Impact&#8217; page demonstrating how its documentaries &#8216;inspir[e] audiences to take action&#8217; on politically charged issues like criminal justice reform. These documentaries overwhelmingly reflect a liberal worldview,&#8221; Cruz wrote in the letter.

One documentary funded by ITVS is “Racist Trees,” which was about the removal of trees from an area in Palm Beach, California, because the trees were “an enduring symbol of racism.” Another documentary, “Everything Wrong and Nowhere to Go,” examines one woman’s “search of a cure for her crippling climate anxiety in a deeply personal documentary about therapy and existential threat.” Another documentary <a href="https://itvs.org/films/almost-american/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">takes aim</a> at the &#8220;anti-immigration agenda&#8221; in Washington, D.C. while one called &#8220;Breaking the Blue Wall&#8221; <a href="https://itvs.org/films/breaking-the-blue-wall/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">challenges</a> Maryland protections for police officers. 
&#8220;Yet ITVS funds hardly any documentaries from a conservative perspective. A public organization that costs American taxpayers $17 million a year should not be a vehicle for left-wing agitprop,&#8221; Cruz wrote.
ITVS did not immediately return a request for comment on the diversity fund.
