Should DEI programs be eliminated from federal government agencies?

Yes

Yes, but just ensure there are clear guidelines, action, and accountability for acts of discrimination

Yes, instead just ensure there are clear guidelines, action, and accountability for acts of discrimination

Yes, DEI is a racist institution that only helps the races deemed as "minority" while ignoring or even hurting the white people in society to try to help the "minorities", any program designed to help certain races is racist against the races not helped by it, ,

No, DEI programs are important for promoting fairness and addressing inequalities in federal agencies

Yes, but only eliminated in terms of hiring. Qualifications should matter more than race, gender, etc.

Yes, for the sake of equality, justice, low taxes, low national debt, capitalism, federalism, weak government, and checks and balances.

Yes, but have strong repercussions to anyone who is found to have discriminated against minorities in the workplace.

Yes, but also investments should be made into schools and opportunities to marginalized opportunities.

If there is a way to measure the success and benefit of the program or lack of program then the policy should fit the need

Yes, But only if proper guidelines and regulations that effectively remove discrimination of minorities from being hired.

Not entirely no. Those that go too far yes. Diversity, equity and inclusion is important but it shouldn't be forced but the removal of this policy should not lead to discrimination.

These goals should be achieved organically and with strong bans on discriminination rather than forcing outcomes.

Yes but only when they affect merit based hiring. This should not be used as a pretext for the discrimination.

DEI and other race equality programs shouldn't completely remove off from federal agencies, but it's optional to require to have workers with diverse background.

DEI should only be utilized when the agency is showing evidence of discrimination in its employment practices.

Yes, remove programs promoting discrimination and division, while maintaining those create inclusive and equitable environments

Yes, but only from hiring. "Diversity quotas" and affirmative action can be detrimental. However, I do support creating a fair and safe work environment for all people, regardless of race, gender, or any other characteristics. Thus, there should be strict guidelines and penalties for acts of discrimination.

In their current form, Yes. They need to be restructured to actually provide support for under represented communities to get the necessary training and experience to be qualified for the roles where there is limited diversity

This is a waste of tax payer money and we need an equal justice/accountability/application amendment, nobody, I mean no one not even the president, US representative, Senator, NOBODY is above the law.

Yes, because it promotes the promotion of, and employing of individuals based on race, ethnicity, etc, over merit; thus, making it unequally distributed in a certain group's favour, not promoting equality.

Only those that single out employees based on their inalienable characteristics, force employees read certain literature or consume certain products, and/or enforce hiring quotas should be eliminated.

Yes, the benefits of so-called DEI can be researched by investigating the employee performances of all demographics

Yes, however I also support rooting out any type of racial profiling or nepotism, pure meritocracy is the way to go

Someone shouldn't be hired just because of their skin color. For example, a white male who is more eligible for a job shouldn't be turned down for a person of color who isn't as eligible.

Yes, but only if those DEI programs only hire someone based off of something that person can't control or lower standards based off of that thing the person can't control

They should be eliminated when the money is not being used for the caused it is promised for. It also should not be used to provide money for gender reassignment or any LGBTQ+ costs.

Equality and representation acts in a DEI program should be level all citizens as the same, rather than promoting another's status.

Yes, any programs that gives minorities specific benefits based on their race, ethnicity, gender, etc. should be banned.

If they are illegally in this country then they should not be able to work until they have their credentials to be here

DEI programs should be implemented if the gender, race, or sexual orientation of a person would otherwise cause them to not be hired or represented in the company.

I think being inclusive is good, and we can also use merit based as well. Hearing opinions from different groups of people is a good thing, and you can still choose the most qualified people.

There should be diversity in the workplace, but I don't agree with DEI policies that favor people based on their skin color over actual quality.

Yes, and replace them with anti discrimination audits and merit based hiring, to ensure every person with merit is given the job regardless of anything

I think that aspects of DEI programs are potentially concerning, but disagree more with strong opponents of it.

All people should be judged based on skill and not anything else, even if it would be considered an advantage.

Yes, but only because I personally hold very specific beliefs about increasing access to higher education and vocational training that I believe would resolve many employment issues across the board, making this a moot point

Yes, but only because I hold strong beliefs regarding expanded higher education and vocational training for all citizens that I feel would negate most employment issues

No but make it no longer required and don’t teach critical race theory or force people to do the program.

No. DEI is an immoral, racist, and regressive policy in which non-Whites, non-Christians, homosexuals, and degenerates are given unfair advantages against "out-groups."

Neither let your talent and merit get you there not your sexuality or ethnicity because everyone wants to ask you just a simple question what is your sexuality or gender and not what you can bring to the table

Yes the government has a right to hire anyone if they are gay it should not be a political issue it is a human issue but asking it means you want your fifteen minutes of fame so stop asking this question and ask questions on how to change and reform the government

No, but they should include broader language to help support and bring people together, not act as isolated communities

Yes, but don't make it race based, make it from someone who came from low income family with great talents

No, but just ensure there are clear guidelines, action, and accountability for acts of discrimination

No, not unilaterally, but quotas are a bad way to create inclusive environments, and the programs should come under review to ensure no preferential treatment is occurring especially on the hiring side. Really, DEI's only role in hiring should be reactive ("Wow, everyone in that department is a cishet white guy! Perhaps there is discrimination! Let's investigate!") and not proactive, although I'm fine with them playing a role in workplace culture.

No, but it should only be used in cases where there is gender inequality and/or discrimination within the workspace.

I believe that DEI can harm minorities, and they should be qualified for the position, not put there due to how much color their skin bears

I believe they need to hire the best candidate, no matter the race or condition. I do also believe that everybody should get chance, yet still the most suitable person should get the job no matter what.

Desde mi Punto de vista y creencias Creo que si se tratara de los discapacitados esta Bien que Este pero SI SE refieren a otras cosas Creo que no, respetando mis creencias y la de los otros pero no estoy muy de acuerdo.

They shouldn't get rid of it due to the history that occurred for it to become a thing and promote a true equality stance.

yes but as long as its not a race minority, people with disabilities, or giving birth should be treated differently.

Yes, as long as it's not for the military or private companies, such federal agencies maintain diverse ethics/inclusivity committees, all hires undergo sensitivity/inclusivity training, and current hires from such initiatives are not let go

DEI programs should have been more sincere to all minorities in the country especially Americans of Asian descent or with disabilities.

Yes, only when the systematic racism and bias is fully removed from the government. Once everyone is equal, we will no longer need DEI programs.

No, but they should be reformed to prevent situations in which less qualified individuals are chosen

No, but it should uphold their belief in fairness, ensuring fair treatment and quotas. This would avoid preferential treatment and the overlooking of merit and qualifications.

Yes, the federal government has no place in deciding what is diverse-equatible or inclusive. The federal government has proven time and again to be inefficient when dealing with social issues.

No as long as employees are chosen based on their credentials and not for only DEI purposes, government agencies should be reflective of the nation itself

Yes government agencies should hire people based off merit and experience then external properties like race, gender, and sexuality or gender expression

No, as long as they don't become corrupt and try to force minorities in to jobs put make sure the best candidate is chosen regardless.

No, but make sur that the DEI criteria is only a tie breaker for two candidates that are equally qualified.

maybe, they should get in based on merrit and abitites but if someone is not hiring them based on race then the DEI programs should step in

No. Some form of affirmative action program is an appropriate solution to ethnic and/or class disparity.

Yes, we need to resurrect our equality, justice, and acknowledge the fact that all lives do in fact matter regardless of race, gender, religion, etc. Also, we need to combat reckless and socialist spending to lower taxes and the national debt

Generally yes, though not entirely. There are parts of DEI initiatives that are unnecessary and should be eliminated, such as excessive focuses on meeting identity quotas and equality-of-outcome schemes; these are more along the lines of affirmative action, which is functionally unnecessary. On the other hand, things like internships for low-income folks or increased benefits and salaries for veterans represent equality-of-opportunity initiatives that are actually beneficial.

They should be massively de-racialized, de-genderized, and revamped to be aimed at loving and welcoming individuals rather than classifying people into social groups.

Yes, but it should mainly be based on the individual's abilities and skills for their qualification.

Yes, DEI is a racist institution designed to only help races deemed as "minority" while ignoring the white people, any program designed to help certain races is racist against the races not helped by it. It is based on critical race theory, a myth only made to give reason to discriminate against white people as revenge for past racism.

Yes. Employment should be based on Merit and ability to do the job not based on ethnicity, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

Yes. Individuals should be hired on a merit based and have proper qualifications to do the job at hand to have the best outcome.

Surely there is another solution. Positions within the federal government should be awarded on merit and/or public vote.

I would prefer focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion based on socioeconomic factors as opposed to race and gender which I believe may be unconstitutional.

there should be systems in place to protect minority's but race shouldn't take priority over skill and intelligence when hiring in any case, whether it benefit or harm said races

DEI should be eliminated from a hiring standpoint, hire people based on skill. However, do not just get rid of programs that are celebrating historical aspects of certain group

Yes, but remove any hiring agent who is denying qualified individuals because of their race, sexual orientation, ect.

There should be policies that make others not look at others in a different light because they are different. The federal government should have policies in place that do not all people who are disrespectful of others to work for them.

Yes. These programs show bias towards individuals who are qualified for employment, but are turned away due to not meeting the DEI criteria.

Yes, the government should take more effective steps to address inequality rather than just mandating diversity quotas

Not eliminated, but I do believe merit testing should be brought back and hiring decisions not based primarily on DEI or quotas. The highest test scores should be the employee hired. Points can be added for military veterans only.

Yes, but only affirmative action or similar programs which grant unfair advantages or promote unqualified employees.

No, while individual ability is important, the minority groups that have been overlooked for years needs some attention, I say keep DEI programs

Yes, the government should take stronger action to address societal barriers to education and employment rather than just implementing diversity quotas

No, DEI programs are currently necessary to prevent biases against minorities, but this system could be replaced over time by promoting blind selection in hiring and benefits

Yes, DEI programs, while good in intentions, ultimately result in tokenism and focus on diversity aspects when hiring and not on capability or performance resulting in someone obtaining a position that they otherwise would not deserve.

Yes, for many but not all programs. There has been an ideological capture of institutions that, paradoxically, promote a parasitic theory of everything. This should be rooted out, and replaced with antidiscrimination guidelines instead.

No federal agencies should be held to the same standard of anti discriminatory practices as any other organization and should work on creating a welcoming environment for people regardless of minority background

No, but care must be taken to ensure that race, ethnicity, sex, and gender identity does not become a factor in how people are treated at these agencies.

Yes, and we should teach people how to be the most accurately racist as possible so they can really twist the knife in

Yes, it is a waste of money that just mentions race even more than it should and we should focus on the content of peoples characters rather than race.

No, as long as DEI(A) programs do not give a individual that is a member of a group and advantage over others and does not create perverse incentives to hire members from only one particular group over any other.

No, they should be kept but only for the purpose of reducing discrimination. People should be hired on qualifications and not diversity.

Programs giving preference to certain groups should be eliminated, programs for increasing inclusion without preferential treatment should be kept

Yes, hiring, promotions, and retention should be merit-based only. All personnel decisions should be based on merit and performance. No demographic factor of any kind should enter into the decision making process whatsoever.

Yes becsuse now we have people in positions who arnt qualified only working bevsuse the color of their skin or whatever. Now we have fat cops that can't even run

No, but we should promote a more fair system for everyone regardless of race to be hired or picked in Colleges

No, but the government should ensure that applicants from marginalized populations are not given preferential treatment in hiring
