About this episode

The episode discusses the ongoing issues surrounding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in America, highlighting a legal case involving an Arizona State professor.

If you thought Diversity, Equity and Inclusion was no longer an issue in America since President Donald Trump took office — think again. Many of these institutions that fought to keep DEI, even as they were directed by the White House to dismantle the programs, just changed the narrative, changed the definition, changed the language a little bit and voila, it's DEI only by a different name. Owen Anderson, an Arizona State professor, has taken his university to court for forcing him to take DEI training, despite a state law that says he doesn't have to take it.
