The Trump/Musk administration, under the direction of the wealthy fascists behind Project 2025, is going crazy trying to root “DEI” out of every part of the government. Actually, of course, they are just using “DEI” as a boogeyman phrase to hide what they are really doing – which is firing people they don’t like, freezing Congressionally-appropriated funds, and shutting down government programs that help people.
“DEI” has become the new “woke.” It is a catchphrase that the propagandists have spun up for their acolytes to represent evil and darkness. “DEI” supposedly represents the “deep state,” and “Socialism,” and “reverse racism,” and whatever other nefarious implications they can attach to those “evil, child-molesting, cannibalistic, Democrats.”
Actually, DEI is not one of the names of Satan. It is an acronym. It stands for “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” Whenever one hears the phrase “DEI” spoken of derisively, it is a good idea to ask the person to clarify what they mean. What part of “DEI” do they object to? Is it diversity, equity, or inclusion? Why does it bother them? Are they seriously advocating for monotony, injustice, and apartheid?
Here are some thoughts on DEI:
Diversity
And I, God, said: Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, the fruit tree yielding fruit, after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed should be in itself upon the earth, and it was so even as I spake.
And the earth brought forth grass, every herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed should be in itself, after his kind; and I, God, saw that all things which I had made were good;
And I, God, said: Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl which may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
And I, God, created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind; and I, God, saw that all things which I had created were good.
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
For none of these iniquities come of the Lord; for he doeth that which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men; and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile.
Equity
The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
Nevertheless, in your temporal things you shall be equal, and this not grudgingly, otherwise the abundance of the manifestations of the Spirit shall be withheld.
For if ye are not equal in earthly things ye cannot be equal in obtaining heavenly things;
Inclusion
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
Behold, this is my doctrine—whosoever repenteth and cometh unto me, the same is my church.
D&C 10:67
And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
Conclusion
These are just few examples. The Gospel of Jesus Christ clearly teaches, supports, and promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion. This means that the Trumpists, the billionaires, the fascists, and the racists who oppose diversity, equity, and inclusion are, by definition, anti-Christ.
I had hoped the Church and its media would have given us some protection from Trump fascism. It’s not going to happen.
Let’s make a new acronym to represent the concept: EID – Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity. Corruption of good has always been Satan’s plan, so we should not be surprised that the term has been corrupted. I do think it a good idea to not only ask ourselves, “What part of DEI do they object to? Is it diversity, equity, or inclusion?” but add, “or how it is administered?” Sometimes it is the administration of a concept that corrupts. I agree, the Gospel of Jesus Christ purely applies the concepts of Equity, Inclusion and Diversity.
I agree, too, that smokescreens are often thrown up to hide what is agreed upon in secret. We should be alert to what masks the truth.
