Should DEI programs be eliminated from federal government agencies?

Yes

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

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

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

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

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

No, but ensure there are no requirements for a business to have a certain number of employees from any minority group

They should be reformed not eliminated. Veterans are also included in DEI and so it should not be eliminated.

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.

No, all jobs everywhere should be 100% all inclusive DEI objected. Other than knowledge or skill level from individual of job, nothing else should not matter about that individual for that job.

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

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.

Only ones that provide an unfair advantage or benefit to specific groups of people. Programs like cultural days/months need not be eliminated, they are innocuous.

yes, but only if the government mandates non discrimination in work places and the hiring for those work places for anyone of any race, gender, sexuality, religion, etc.

No, but DEI programs should not create preferential treatment for any person because of an immutable characteristic.

Not entirely, but I'm in favor of focusing on differences of treatment because of class over race or background

Only ones that provide unfair advantages to specific groups of people. Programs such as cultural days and months are innocuous, and need not be done away with.

No, but there should be a significant audit of all programs and those who do not meet certain standards should be eliminated

Programs should hire the best person for the job regardless of race, gender, or religion. It should not be based on filling a minority quota.

So long as DEI does not hinder a government agency from accurately and diligently carrying out its intended purpose, I see no harm in having better adjusted individuals.

No. They should be strengthened, to help reverse the damage of the past. Critical Race Theory should be mandatory in schools, and diversity training should be required for all companies.

No, but I'm in favor of removing quotas. People shouldn't be hired nor fired based on factors like gender, religion, sexual orientation, race, etc.

Meritocracy is more-so supreme to affirmative action, because experience should trump diversity. However, if we were to remove DEI programs, our education programs would need to be entirely overhauled, and the wealth-inequality INCREDIBLY diminished. Meritocracy is also less regulated, and has higher chances for an aristocracy to form.

if you are qualified for the job you should have it, regardless of who they are in any way. however, i dont think people should be hired solely for being a woman or being a poc etc.

No, but only if chances are fair, if one has a higher chance just because of their ethnicity than the program should be eliminated.

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

Policies against unlawful discrimination should be embedded in all HR operations , rather than a separate entity

Yea DEI Isn't necessary as a requirement by force but it is optional for the states if they want to include it

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

I dont believe we need "equal" rights for such actions, but instead something that stand for equatable rights

No, but I do think quotas should be eliminated. We should balance between inclusiveness and merit but that doesn’t mean eliminating someone out of the equation even if they are disabled. If they are fit for the job, they are.

No. There should be diversity in the workforce, regardless of it is the government or any other job. However, people should only receive the job if they are qualified for the job

Yes but schools and parents need to teach why a lot of acts of discrimination against women, men, against races, disabled people etc. are wrong.

Yes, because such programs forced agencies to hire based on one's 'identity' rather than one's merit. Judge by character, not skin color, or sex, or sexual orientation, or gender identity.

Yes but ensure that the new one is really merit based and everyone has equal opportunities- quality is prioritised not skin colour or gender or etc

I get what this means but I think if it's trying to be diverse it needs to be hiring the best people for the job and not putting unnecessary inclusion.

No, but this will not stop a genuinely racist employer from denying applicants based off DEI traits.

genuinely racist people will see anyone who fits the DEI characteristics and automatically say they were only hired because of their physical appearance/gender

Yes, equity is giving everyone an equal outcome which is basically communism. We need equality, not equity. Diversity is not something to celebrate, we should all think of everyone as the same.

We should all embrace our differences and treat eachother equal. Be humane. Not create division and have programs to be put in a box just to end up competing with eachother.

No, but each individual should be considered for their skills and strengths rather than preferential treatment.

I dont feel as they should eliminate it, but as long as the people have the merits and qualifications for the job it shouldn't matter what or who they are.

Again, from the last question, I think that diversity is important because it can increase creativity through the collection of different experiences.

No, but It should only include senior citizens, Female Rights, Veterans, And people With development disabilities.

I like the idea of it I don’t like discrimination or racism but a job should be offered to those who are most qualified and have the best abilities

No, DEI is simply not an issue and the concept of “getting rid of DEI” is inherently racist, homophobic, and transphobic.

Jobs should be based on qualifications, not race or gender, but discrimination should still not be allowed.

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, ,
