Failing grade: What is DEI and how has it spread across college campuses?

The phrase diversity, equity, and inclusion may appear to be benign, but it has quietly become the latest frontier in the culture war against woke education.

Often billed as necessary programs and trainings to ensure racially diverse and successful institutions, diversity, equity, and inclusion, also known as DEI, has been decried for stoking racial resentment and prioritizing physical characteristics over merit.

The commonplace programs, which opponents say are just another example of the prevalence of critical race theory in contemporary institutions, have forced college students and many corporate employees to sit through hours of discussions on maintaining a diverse and "inclusive" space.
