Executive Director of National Center’s Free Enterprise Project Stefan Padfield joins Blake to dive into the complexities of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and how its implementation has evolved, particularly since 2020. They explore how DEI shifted from preventing workplace discrimination to actively enforcing race and gender-based hiring and promotion policies, often leading to unintended consequences. The discussion highlights how these practices can stigmatize minorities, create workplace divisions, and, in some cases, even reinforce the very biases they aim to combat. The conversation also touches on legal and corporate responses, the role of fear in silencing opposition, and the importance of balancing truth with empathy when discussing these issues.

In this episode, you’ll be able to…

Uncover how government policies have incentivized the breakdown of the family unit and the long-term impact on society.
Explore the distinction between equality and equity, and how DEI initiatives have fueled division rather than unity.
Learn how corporations are rapidly dismantling DEI programs when exposed to public scrutiny.
