Alex Mooney (R-WV) on Monday, he is pushing to eliminate\u200d the \u200cCongressional Office of Diversity and Inclusion in \u2062the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n<p>This move comes after the House recently abolished all diversity and inclusion offices\u2062 at the Pentagon \u2063as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.<\/p>\n<h3>Mooney&#8217;s Stance<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;The House should abide by the same\u2063 standards we set for federal agencies across the government, which is why I have introduced this resolution to eliminate the House Office of Diversity and Inclusion,&#8221; Mooney stated.<\/p>\n<p>Mooney argues that diversity, equity, and inclusion offices\u2062 are\u2063 the\u200d &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chinas-dictatorial-political-system-is-the-root-cause-of-its-disastrous-covid-policies\/\" title=\"China\u2019s Dictatorial Political System Is The Root Cause Of Its Disastrous Covid Policies\">latest method<\/a> of injecting cultural Marxism into the workplace&#8221; and that they start with the premise that white people are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/top-10-best-jim-acosta-moments\/\" title=\"Top 10 'Best' Jim Acosta Moments\">inherently racist<\/a> and oppressive.<\/p>\n<p>It is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nbc-news-covers-the-biden-administration\/\" title=\"NBC News Covers the Biden Administration\u00a0\">worth noting<\/a> that House Democrats established the Congressional Office of Diversity and Inclusion in 2019 after winning the House back from Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being established and supported by Democrats, the ODI is\u200b considered \u200cnonpartisan and nonlegislative.<\/p>\n<h3>ODI&#8217;s Response<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Currently, ODI, which maintains relationships on both sides of the aisle, remains committed \u2063to its mission\u200d to advance a \u200crepresentative and qualified workforce by &#8216;putting the people in the people&#8217;s house,'&#8221; said ODI Director Sesha Joi Moon.<\/p>\n<p>Moon also mentioned that \u2063the office will comply with any forthcoming legislation and directives from leadership.<\/p>\n<h3>Republican Pushback on DEI Programs<\/h3>\n<p>Republicans have \u2064been actively working\u2064 to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at both the federal and state levels. Some lawmakers and state leaders have even limited the role \u2063of DEI in hiring decisions and\u200b promotions at\u2063 schools.<\/p>\n<h3>Support and Opposition<\/h3>\n<p>The resolution to eliminate the Congressional Office of Diversity and Inclusion has gained support from \u200d13 co-signers, all of whom are Republicans. This includes\u2062 Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Bob Good (R-VA), and \u2064Chip Roy \u2064(R-TX).<\/p>\n<p>As of now, no Democrat \u200chas voiced support for the bill. If\u200d it does manage to pass\u2062 the House \u2063of Representatives, it is expected to face challenges in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to\u2063 read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
