It's about time this DEI BS goes away.

[LogicalThoughts]

While Bri is 'weighing in on this', she makes fun of Larry Elder for 'weighing in on this'.

[artemlamnin]

Briana is fine with compelling and discriminating against speech as long as it disagrees with her own politics. Free speech for me and mine, but never for thee and thine.

[chaosinfusion]

DEI tries to combat “racism” with more racism, which is a ridiculous premise. Political statements have no place in the hiring process. Good riddance.

[vukasinu]

Brie is such a clown 🤡 Imagine MIT had the question "what have you done and what will you do in the future to spread the gospel of Christ?". I'll bet she'd flip out and complain about compelled speech.

And that bit at the end where she says there are bigger issues in the world... absolute clown show.

Why Bri always have to be the dumb one ? 😢😢😢

As a black woman...DEI is embarrassing. Let's prove we are just as smart without DEI!

[spicywater]

I mean, DEI is a flagrant violation of the Civil Rights Act, so I don't know how this became a thing at all. Besides being a violation of the Civil rights ACT, DEI is insanely racist and should never have gained momentum to begin with.

[BootsieTheGreek]

Joy saying it’s a “private institution” while this is a government program is the epitome of blind spot.

[aSimpleTailor]

Good, forcing people to focus on skin color has always been toxic.

[YangBalanceYin]

Let's not forget that Brianna is a Harvard educated lawyer...

[TheEricFlu]

I wouldn't think it feels very good deep down to get a job because of DEI. I would feel icky. Kind of like I Didn't Earn It.

[AnaLucia-wyii]

Bri is such a gaslighter. There’s no obsession with the issue and people can care about many different issues.

[danielshayder]

Joy must hate seeing the DEI initiative slowly imploding.

[Sunday_Swagger]

DEI hires couldn’t compete with the applicants that Earned it. No sh!t!

[zombygunslinger]

We need MIT to produce the best engineers. It's not the place for performative BS. When writers are promoted based on DEI, we get bad movies. When engineers are selected based on DEI, we get planes falling out of the sky.

[SammySnead]

We should focus on economic disadvantages instead of tribal differences.

[brianbattaglia]

if the Hill ever got rid of DEI Bri would be out of a job

[crinklecut]

If this keeps incompetent people like Bri from having a career, I’m all for it.

[johnj.todora]

How bizarre is it that, in order to be a part of their club, that they made you write a statement about this?

That sounds like a cult.
