Stanford Law School Dean Jenny Martinez announced on Thursday that the beleaguered Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Associate Dean Tyrian Steinbach has resigned. resigned.

Mr. Steinbach’s almost certain forced “resignation” came in March when the Stanford Federalist Society Student Chapter attempted to host a speech by Fifth Circuit Judge Kyle Duncan’s U.S. Court of Appeals in March that sparked an outpouring of disgust from the American public who rebelled against her shameful antics. Steinbach’s resignation is a small act of justice for a grave mistake. (Related: Alan Dershowitz: Supreme Court Brings Us One Step Closer to Color Blind Society)

Mr. Steinbach will now have plenty of time to ponder whether the juice of aiding a mob of tyrannical law students who wake up is worth the “squeezing” that will ultimately result in his dismissal.

Mr. Steinbach’s expiring “resignation” is the latest domino to fall in a flurry of justice backlash against the roving academic and corporate diversity crats that make up America’s DEI regime. Perhaps not coincidentally, these domino topplings all fell in last month’s United States Supreme Court Students’ Action for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. Harvard University and SFFA v. University of North Carolina consolidated lawsuits after landmark rectification of constitutional color blindness and the defeat of race-aware affirmative action programs.

With the demise of affirmative action in the courts, the next goal for colorblind advocates and opponents of racial determinism is clear. That is to defeat the DEI Leviathan.

Last Thursday, a coalition of 13 Republican state attorneys general, led by Chris Kovac of Kansas and Jonathan Scumetty of Tennessee, said: letter It called on all Fortune 100 CEOs to “remind[them]of their obligations as employers under federal and state law not to discriminate on the basis of race, whether under the label of ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ or not.” Attorneys general have cited numerous statutes, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, to reinforce critical arguments that racism in the workplace is “immoral and illegal.”

While the Court’s opinion in the SFFA did not address Title VII directly, Justice Neil Gorsuch’s Concurring Opinion rightly pointed out that Title VII’s sister clause, Title VI, requires the same color blindness that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause requires. So, naturally, so does Title VII.

As a result, CEOs of Fortune 100 companies now “recognize the illegality of racial quotas and race-based priorities in employment and contracting practices.” The employer’s subjective intentions, whether malicious or purportedly malicious, are irrelevant. His DEI members of the Fortune 100, consider yourself warned.

Similarly, US Senator Tom Cotton sent the following message on Monday: letter It notified 51 of the world’s largest and nation’s largest law firms that the “same principles” the court relied on in SFFA and that the “plaintext” of Titles 6 and 7 “directed to private employers” were as clear as Chief Justice John Roberts directed to universities on the Equal Protection Clause.

Thus, Mr. Cotton, himself an attorney and former attorney general for the Fifth Circuit, warned the giants of the Enclave that “Congress will increasingly exercise its oversight powers and private individuals and entities will increasingly use the courts to scrutinize the prevalence of race-based employment practices.” Mr. Cotton concluded the document by specifically flagging the DEI program as suggesting similar legal concerns, whether the DEI program operates at a law firm’s client company or within the law firm itself.

The result is even clearer. Following the legal triumph of true human ‘equality’ in SFFA and the defeat of the popular leftist concept of ‘fairness’, his DEI agencies across the country should act very cautiously. Even better, powerful state attorneys general and legislators will watch corporate diversity krats like hawks, threatening lawsuits, investigations, or subpoenas if they go too far and make race-sensitive hiring, firing, or other personnel decisions.

Given that the entire raison d’etre of the DEI system is to do just this, Republican Attorneys General and lawmakers should find a plethora of possible legal objects.

Following the abolition of the Affirmative Action system in SFFA, the Right must now prioritize the abolition of the DEI system. After all, these two regimes are just two sides of the same coin. Both Affirmative Action and his DEI emphasize arbitrary things like race, which Judge Clarence Thomas rightly pointed out in the SFFA concurring opinion as an artificial “social construct.”

Whatever the subjective intentions of the DEI Commissioners, the truth is that America endured a bloody, horrific Civil War to definitively settle the question of whether race is inherently deterministic (like Chief Justice Roger Taney in the infamous Dred Scott case) or, according to Thomas, just a social construct.

The answer provided by the tragic deaths of 618,000 Americans in the Civil War, not to mention the Reconstruction Amendment and the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, is clear. So our country is colorblind to the core. Race, therefore, is, as Thomas puts it, an artificial social construct.

DEI, like all other racism and racial consciousness, is like a cancer to free people. it must be destroyed.
