DEI: Dollars, Euros and Income

City Journal
November 25, 2024
Read The Full Story

In City Journal, Christopher F. Rufo unmasks the U.S. federal government’s prodigious spending on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Rufo details how a web of moralistically preening consulting firms have billed billions for things like training “on the brain science of inclusion” or “anti-racism analytics tools”, and how the DEI ideology – as bad as it always was – has degenerated into yet another money-grubbing racket.

Bad Mom? Bad Wife?

The Massachusetts trial of Lindsay Clancy for killing her three young children (recently declared a mistrial) became a litmus test for couples – with some publicly breaking off engagements due to disagreements over her culpability. Writing in The American Mind, Evie Solheim ponders the malign influence of social media on the marriage decision for younger generations. “When men and women treat existence as a zero-sum game, everyone loses,” she writes, pleading for greater understanding between the sexes. For more on marriage, see this C2C article.

We’d Rather Not Discuss It

Writing in The European Conservative, Íris Erlingsdóttir explains why Iceland recently rejected an invitation to discuss joining the European Union. “Why not look? Why not listen?” she asks. “Icelanders’ answer was a resounding Nei.” With an 82 percent turnout, the frosty island nation of 400,000 people voted 52.8 percent against even talking about hooking up with the EU’s 450 million. Among the reasons was protecting the country’s hard-won 200-nautical-mile fishing limit for its vital cod fishery. For more on the sanctity of borders, see this C2C article.

Keep an Eye Out for Car Thieves

John Shjarback, writing in the conservative-minded City Journal, offers a contrarian’s take on Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR). While admitting many legitimate fears about the rise of the surveillance state, he argues that fighting a troublesome rise in car thefts is a valid reason for allowing police access to this technology. “Singling out ALPR as Big Brother makes little sense,” he reports, arguing privacy can be better protected through greater regulation rather than an outright ban.

Not Your Grandparents’ Kennedy

The makers of Trix and Lucky Charms recently promised to remove synthetic dyes from their products, notes Kevin Roberts in The American Mind. “Nobody forced them,” he observes. “They read the room.” And the elephant in that room is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., a Trump cabinet member and ringmaster of the “Make America Healthy Again” crusade. Kennedy’s Herculean tasks include battling entrenched interests while redirecting a nation that is disproportionately fat, out of shape, chronically ill and drug-dependent.
