In a few short weeks, Americans will not only be given a historic “opportunity” to vote for a nominee who famously never won a presidential primary, they may propel in power the epitome of DEI to lead the free world.

It’s for those reasons that Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, has replaced former Harvard University President Claudine Gay as my poster child for the “adversity of diversity.” Let me elaborate.

Last year I wrote “The Adversity of Diversity,” where I argued against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. My book also scrutinized how DEI selection criteria invariably violate our civil rights laws and constitutional protections against discrimination. It was DEI that ensured the rise of the now-disgraced former Harvard president, Claudine Gay. It was also DEI that stayed the university’s hand from completely ousting Gay, though her academic clout came about from her rampant plagiarism of several scholars, including myself. Although Gay no longer holds the lofty title of “president,” she has retained a comfortable teaching position where she is reportedly instructing students on “Reading and Research.”
