DeSantis-controlled Disney World district abolishes diversity, equity initiatives

Diversity, equity and inclusion programs were abolished Tuesday from Walt Disney World’s governing district, now controlled by appointees of Gov. Ron DeSantis, in an echo of the Florida governor’s agenda which has championed curtailing such programs in higher education and elsewhere.

I mean how much longer until the Republican party just comes out and states that racism is one of their offical platforms?

Haven’t they already?

No. They just claim they can’t be racist because they have a lot of (insert affected minority) friends or that they allowed black people on their football team.

It seems like a popular dodge among racists nowadays is to say that racism as a concept is not a thing.

If they did, it'd be the only thing on their platform.

Seriously. In 2020 they literally ran without a platform other than, "Whatever Trump wants, that's what we want."

Just, full on authoritarianism.
