President Trump’s executive order banning DEI practices from colleges and universities is only a step in the termination of this latest form of social engineering on campus. Just because an order is given doesn’t mean the proscribed actions will end. There are too many layers of decision-making and implementation between the Oval Office in D.C. and the college classroom and diversity dean’s office in Boulder, Madison, Berkeley, Austin, etc., too many steps that the order must traverse, each one an occasion for an official who disagrees to slow or halt the progress.
