   I stopped using the word DEI last week and am using anti-discrimination/pro-discrimination instead. Don't let them set the terms of the discourse. Because they lie they find it very easy to spin messaging. Fight back, starting with truthful words. Name it simply to their faces!

     @Tarnport If those words don't work, come up with a more palatable, easier to defend term and switch to that instead. Doublespeak works both ways.
