Seeing the need for some government programs isn’t that difficult. A generation ago a national speed limit helped conserve fuel during a time of supply shortages. Inspection programs at restaurants keep food secure and Americans healthy.

But then there are others, like the “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” ideology that exploded in size under the departed President Joe Biden.

That program essentially discriminated against people based on their race and gender, and was pushed by leftists who claimed that their various “under-represented” social groups had to have special treatment.

So it happened, prompting President Donald Trump to campaign against it, and give executive orders that it be discontinued once he was in office.

Now a U.S. senator has explained the simple logic behind Trump’s plan, in a single sentence.

The best way to stop discriminating against people on the basis of race or gender is to stop discriminating against people on the basis of race or gender.

Let DEI die.

“I think the American people have spoken very clearly … that the best way to stop discriminating against people on the basis of race and gender … is to stop discriminating against people on the basis of race and gender.”

Kennedy’s comment came in response to a question about Trump’s orders that government DEI ideology offices be closed and those employees be on leave.

Many on social media gave a thumbs up to Kennedy.

“Wow, the definition of equality in one sentence! Who would thunk it could of been done?” said one.

Said another, “I couldn’t agree more.”
