White House's Stephen Miller Slams DEI 'Strangulation'
U.S. Administration Plans to Establish Merit-Based System, Tear Down DEI's 'Chokehold'
In a fiery speech during a press briefing, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller went all-out against DEI programs, proclaiming the end to what he calls the "communist, woke strangulation."
Joining White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, Miller passionately asserted that the Trump administration is reinstating a "system of merit" to revitalize the U.S. economy.
"The DEI stranglehold on our society must end," Miller declared emphatically. "But this isn't just a social and cultural issue, it's an economic one too. By focusing on merit as President Trump directs, we drive innovation, spur growth, and boost investment, ultimately creating jobs."
Miller elaborated by explaining that when citizens seek medical attention or financial services, they prioritize proficiency over diversity, employing the best professionals during a crisis.
On a mission, the Trump administration has taken remarkable steps to dismantle DEI programs at a federal level, from the Pentagon to the Department of Education, essentially waging a war against such initiatives.
Merely days into his presidency, Trump revoked 78 Biden-era executive orders to eradicate DEI offices and halt discriminatory hiring practices, such as at the Federal Aviation Administration. He additionally invalidated DEI-focused federal positions and required the Office of Personnel Management to oversee the closure of DEI offices across all agencies[1][2].
Moreover, the Trump administration demanded the eradication of DEI activities promoting racial and sexual preferences and enforced merit-based requirements for federal hiring and contracting[2]. They also compelled federal contractors to cease implementing "illegal" DEI programs to secure contracts[2].
These hardline policies have rippled through the private sector, prompting giants such as Meta, Ford, and Toyota to abandon DEI initiatives in favor of prioritizing merit[1]. However, critics contend that this approach fosters workforce homogeneity, whereas supporters believe it prioritizes performance.
Nineteen states have filed lawsuits against the administration, signaling ongoing legal and ideological conflicts over the DEI issue[1][4].
