Government Agencies, Universities Are Lying About Dropping DEI

Universities and government agencies defy President Trump’s Executive Order on DEI and climate change by simply changing the names of the programs.

NASA, the State Department, and the University of Michigan are good examples of liars who think nothing of lying.

NASA and the State Department are rebranding DEI to defy the Executive Orders.

Project Veritas has uncovered how some government employees are already plotting to defy these directives, concealing banned initiatives under new names and finding creative ways to “work around the rules.”

Key Quotes:

Anthony Abate, Foreign Service Officer, State Department

• “They canceled DEI stuff, but people just did it and called it something else. Work around the rules.
• “Just change the word, [DEI], but it means the same thing.”

Renata Braghiere, Climate Scientist, NASA

• “Now we have to be careful with writing proposals with terms like ‘climate change…’ They don’t like that term, they don’t believe that, and they’re probably not going to fund any of that.”
• “We can change the term ‘climate change’ [to] like, ‘natural hazards’ or something like that…”

The University of Alabama is allegedly doing the same thing. In other words, they’re liars teaching America’s youth.

Don’t be fooled: this is DEI in disguise. After Alabama banned DEI (SB 129), the @UofAlabama “closed” DEI offices… and immediately reopened them under new names, with the same leaders and inflated salaries intact.
