NASA ends DEI programs that 'wasted taxpayers dollars and resulted in shameful discrimination'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] NASA has ended its diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEI) programs after all federal agencies were directed to 'terminate' the initiatives.

Staff received an email Wednesday from acting administrator Janet Petro, which said the space agency is 'taking steps to close all agency DEIA offices and end all DEIA-related contracts in accordance with President Trump's executive orders.'

The order is titled 'Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.'

NASA's email admitted that 'these programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination.'

The space agency has spent at least $22.4 million annually on such programs.

DailyMail.com had uncovered millions of taxpayer dollars were dished out for DEI data analytics and to help the agency 'embark on a venture to incorporate and deeply engrain diversity, inclusion, equity and accessibility in the culture and business.'

Petro, who is the first woman to lead NASA as its acting administrator, also urged staff to report colleagues who have attempted to disguise DEI programs with coded language.

'There will be no adverse consequences for timely reporting this information,' the email reads. 'However,
man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them...
failure to report this information within 10 days may result in adverse consequences.'

#1 These are lies. On paper, DEI has been dropped. But govt contractors and people working govt contracts havent ended a thing. Like how a chameleon changes colors, commies change their labels, these diversity racists will just change their name. Diversity Equity Officers will drop the I from their former DEI title. Not one diversity hire or diversity staff will be fired.

A lot more work needs to be done to eradicate the DEI Racism. The too big to fail banks and the big financial service companies, like PwC, need a lot of focus and sunlight to remove the systemic racism that is found in the organizations.

#2 DEI was an extension of Affirmative Action.

#3 Maybe they should spend the saved cash on mission planning and contingency planning rather than have musk be their orbiting AAA.
