These are welcome changes, as the practice of DEI (not it's idealization) is actively discriminatory and intolerant of dissenting views. Let competence be the only metric.
If competence were the only metric (or even a metric that this administration actually cared for) 90% of the appointees of this administration would not have been hired.
It's not an either-or. This administration can have the average IQ of a bdelloid rotifer, but that doesn't mean that every single ideological position of all the people they are mad at is valid.
