The basic idea behind diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives is relatively straightforward: Schools, businesses and other institutions have used a range of policies and incentives to create diverse and inclusive workforces and student bodies. In recent years, Republicans and their allies decided that DEI is a woke scourge that must be defeated at all costs.
The trouble is that some in the party have adopted a rather expansive definition of the underlying idea. The New Republic noted this week:
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Tuesday that his department would redirect $1.73 billion in Biden-era grants away from establishing DEI bike lanes to build roads and bridges instead.

Pulling one's head out of their ass is also considered woke.
