In defense of DEI | Wajahat Ali and Yusuf Zakir

DEI refers to three simple but important words: diversity, equity and inclusion. These three values are indispensable

If the US wants to achieve economic growth, empower the best talent and have a fair and just society for all, it must embrace diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Otherwise, we can simply devolve into a backsliding democracy ruled by a billionaire class that pillages our wealth as it divides us through manufactured culture wars.

On cue, conservatives are blaming DEI for the devastating fires currently ravaging California and for a recent terror attack in New Orleans committed by a US citizen.
