Sorry, but Ms Nelson is just as tone deaf in her accusations as DeSantis is in his assault on the woke.  Both conflate every shortcoming of people's resistance to woke dogma into something akin to Kendi's anti-racism or Trump's anti-patriotism.  Both are intellectually dishonest.I oppose DEI.  Full stop.  The words are wonderful.  The implementation is censorious.  The DEI attacks on non believers destroy careers, change nothing for the positive and simply fan the partisan divide.  If the DEI industry would concentrate its energy to teaching literacy, numeracy and rational thought to K-12, then minority children would stand a much better chance of a successful life in this rapidly changing society and its economy.  Stop assuming the role of self appointed parent and priest.  Right now, DEI accomplishes nothing except to provide high paying jobs to administrators who have nothing to do other than police white attitudes.The issue is not that accurate facts of the history of slavery and jim crow are not taught.  The issue is the framing of the lessons as evidenced in such trope as the opening chapter of the 1619 project and in Kendi's dogma about racism and anti-racism.   Academic research has given way to opinion.  Besides being a disastrous political strategy with its emphasis to vilify everything and everyone of European origin, it is so riddled with self-interest on the part of its cadres as to appear to be a giant con game.
