Diversity Efforts Will Always Be Controversial

From ABC News: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott calls diversity efforts ‘illegal,’ tells state agencies to stop. Diversity efforts in hiring “proactively encourage discrimination,” a memo said.

Hiring policies that attempt to build racial diversity are looked upon highly by those of us who would like to live in a more just, fair, and inclusive country.  Conversely, this concept has always been an object of hatred of those in the south, who liked their home better when it was part of the Confederacy.
