The struggle against ideologies that seek to divide America advances in fits and starts. This month we saw great progress in the introduction of a bill to ban diversity, equity, and inclusion mandates throughout the federal government. But it was a different story a week later when lawmakers were lobbing rhetorical softballs at the DEI-loving head of the Smithsonian.

The comprehensive Dismantle DEI Act, introduced in the Senate by Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and in the House by Rep. Michael Cloud (R-TX) and co-sponsored by 20 other Republicans, systematically eliminates diversity, equity, and inclusion programs throughout the federal bureaucracy and among federal contractors.
