Donald Trump's administration has moved to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, issuing anti-DEI executive orders, purging DEI staff in the federal government, and arguing that these policies and practices in education and employment have promoted mandatory ideological indoctrination about how people should think. This report lays out a vision that would end troubling DEI bureaucracies and replace them with new forms of civic education that seek to bring people of different backgrounds together and emphasize what they have in common as Americans. First, it briefly describes what DEI is and how it works in education and employment. It then details the troubling aspects of current DEI programs, with a particular focus on DEI in educational institutions. The illiberal aspects of the Republican response to DEI programs at the state and federal levels where "bans" have been enacted are outlined. The report then outlines a path forward, including a policy the author calls "Integration, Equal Opportunity, and Belonging," which balances an appreciation for diversity with a robust effort to build a common identity that underlines the values we all share as Americans. The new approach would urge educational institutions to restore a commitment to the great principles of the early civil rights movement--individual opportunity and freedom from discrimination, emphasizing commonality across racial lines, enhancing empathy and respect for people of different races, ethnicities, economic backgrounds, and ideologies. And it would back policies to create opportunities for all economically disadvantaged Americans to get ahead.
