Massive cuts to NASA science proposed in early White House budget plan

7. I suspect that they're painting with too broad a brush.

That's what happens when you scatter certain agendas around in different divisions and then blur the distinction between those agendas and other.

You can't proclaim the Tuskegee Airmen--hardly a DEI initiative, and their importance predates DEI--because the teaching of African-American, it's said, is DEI so that banning DEI means going back to the "old days" when black American history wasn't taught. (Sorry, I was taught a lot in the early-mid '70s, but that predates DEI. But you insist that all black American history is "DEI" and when that's jiu-jitsued against you it's ugly.)

So it is with NASA. NASA proclaimed "anthropogenic climate change" as an all-encompassing mission and teamed up with an advocacy group to piggy back on their satellite, it taints the entire "brand." Trust is lost and the entire edifice must be torn down.

Plus it's not like a lot of the Trump 'team' has much curiosity about things that aren't absolutely practical in a really pedestrian sense of the word.
