The Spin

Left narrative

These rulings offer a much-needed sigh of relief, protecting DEI initiatives that foster inclusivity and equity in American schools. DEI benefits diverse groups, with data showing white women and Asians often gain the most, not just Black people, as critics claim. Trump's attacks on DEI are fueled by unfounded right-wing hatred of such programs, ignoring evidence that diverse teams boost performance significantly. Bans risk marginalizing minorities and stifling progress.

The RootThe New Republic

Right narrative

These rulings are legitimizing outright illegal programs that harm students. DEI promotes racial double standards and equity over equality, prioritizing outcomes over merit. In the face of powerful liberal politicians, critics are trying to explain that DEI fosters division and violates fairness, as seen in cases like transgender sports policies. Data also suggests DEI fails to reduce hate, fueling resentment instead. Repealing it is the only way to bring sanity back to classrooms.
