How DEI Ideology Undermines National Security
Newsweek | MASON GOAD
In this opinion piece, Mason Goad argues that universities are threatening the security of the United States— “University administrators are doing everything in their power to produce graduates who bear no allegiance to the United States—the first guideline for security clearance adjudications—and they are succeeding.” When DEI leaves the universities and enters the CIA, our military and other government entities, “The result can be not only distracting but damaging.”
As Goad explains, “This issue is purely one of policy, not of partisanship. Implementing DEI at the university level is bad enough, but within the federal government it is disastrous. It will foster tribalism in the federal workforce, undermine our shared American identity, distract from the missions of our federal agencies, legitimize anti-Americanism in our leading institutions and hurt recruitment efforts. In short, DEI is a national security threat.”
