Biden-Harris admin pushed more than 500 'DEI actions' across government, report finds
An analysis of more than 80 "Equity Action Plans" released by federal agencies in accordance with President Biden's executive actions on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) revealed that the Biden-Harris administration embedded more than 500 DEI actions into the federal government.

"Discrimination has no place in our society and certainly not in our federal government," said Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, chair of Do No Harm. "This report documents hundreds of examples of harmful identity politics leading to government programs that treat people differently based on their race or sexual orientation."
Multiple Biden-Harris administration programs that sought to provide benefits based on immutable characteristics, such as race and sex, faced legal challenges in court and were ultimately forced to shut down.

In addition to these programs, a federal judge also ruled recently that the Department of Commerce's Minority Business Development Agency can no longer refuse assistance to White applicants.

"We must be clear-eyed about the fact that, yes, we want everyone to get an equal amount — that sounds right — but not everyone starts out from the same place," Harris said at the event. "Some people start out on first base; some people start out on third base. And if the goal is truly about equality, it has to be about a goal of saying everybody should end up in the same place. And since we didn’t start in the same place. Some folks might need more: equitable distribution."
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.
