Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene argued that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs in Georgia must be defunded, citing a report that a training program in the Fulton County District Attorney’s office required labeling white people as “bad.” Rep. Greene called on Republicans who control the state legislature to take action.

DEI standards have emerged as a framework intending to foster a more equitable and harmonious workplace environment. As organizations increasingly recognize the value of diverse perspectives and inclusive practices, the implementation of DEI standards is intended to promote a culture of respect, belonging, and equal opportunity within the modern workforce.

“It’s not protecting minorities. It’s not protecting black people from being mistreated in any way whatsoever,” she continued. The report described a training exercise that would not allow employees to complete it until associating a photo of a white person with the word “bad.”

DEI standards emphasize the celebration of differences and the cultivation of a workforce that reflects a broad spectrum of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. A diverse workforce enables companies to better understand and serve a wide range of customers, driving business growth and competitiveness in an increasingly globalized marketplace.
