The diversity industry is a collection of consultants and trainers who make wild claims about business practices because they fit the diversity, equity, and inclusion narrative.  They assert that diversity in the workforce is good for business.  According to them, the presence of differing life experiences in the workforce enhances creativity, provides better customer service, and improves the bottom line.  Executive leadership can’t go wrong by checking some intersectionality boxes with their employee placement. It’s a path to instant success.

Does that sound like a load of garbage to you, too?  Corporate CEOs have been paying for that baloney sandwich for years.  Businesswire estimates that corporate and government managers spent $9.3 billion on diversity and inclusion “help” in 2022.  The industry is expected to grow to $15.4 billion in the next three years.  Keeping people divided into categories is big business.

Apparently, Ivy League training hasn’t taught business leaders that employees with better skills will outperform employees with worse skills but more diversity — every time.  Just look at professional sports.  Are players drafted for their diversity or their skill?  Coaches know the truth even if business executives don’t.

One executive who has embraced the diversity ideology is Joe Biden.  He’s been working to maximize the performance of his administration by checking as many diversity boxes as possible.  He even declared that diversity is his primary staffing selection criterion.  He’s determined to prove the claims of the diversity industry, or go down trying.

So how’s it working?  Is Biden helping the credibility of the industry “experts”?  Let’s take a look at his staffing decisions.

Joe picked Karine Jean-Pierre to be his press secretary.  She’s a black, gay female immigrant.  That’s good for four checked diversity boxes — not bad.  Jean-Pierre’s incoherence is exceeded only by her boss’s — oh, and the V.P.’s, of course, who’s in a league of her own.  World-class incoherence seems an odd qualification for a communications expert — unless transparency isn’t the actual goal of Joe’s administration.

Next, we have Dr. “Rachel” Levine — excuse me, Admiral Dr. “Rachel” Levine.  Levine is a “transsexual woman” — a man who dresses as a woman.  Joe gets one checkmark for hiring Admiral Levine.  Heck, let’s give him one extra checkmark because Levine isn’t a very convincing woman.  Surely, “Rachel” has been victimized by that handicap somehow.

Admiral Levine is a pediatrician who was appointed to be the assistant secretary of health.  That would be the same health department that gave us pandemic protocols that stopped the economy but not the virus.

I have a question for parents.  Would you entrust the care of your children to this pediatrician — him being such a shining example of mental health and all?  I also have a question for Levine’s alma mater, Tulane University.  How did he become a doctor without understanding basic biology?  That seems relevant to providing health care, doesn’t it?  It would also seem relevant to leading a department that oversees health care — no?

Speaking of biology, Joe appointed Ketanji Brown Jackson to be our newest associate Supreme Court justice.  She’s a black female — we think.  Joe gets two checkmarks for her.  During her confirmation, Jackson said that, not being a biologist, she was unable to define what a woman is.  Her claimed inability to discern men from women means that she’s either a moron or a liar — and I don’t think she’s a moron.  I guess honesty isn’t as important as diversity in a judge.  Let’s give Joe one extra point for her chutzpah.
