Front Page Magazine: The Timely Death of DEI
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives are facing significant backlash, particularly from influential business leaders like Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, who is reconsidering their role in workplaces.

While the media expresses concern over the potential decline of DEI, some believe its diminishing influence could inadvertently benefit the working class by shifting focus back to meritocracy. Despite ongoing enforcement in many organizations, the reevaluation of DEI by elites may signal a broader cultural change.
