... as he requests a massive budget increase to try attract actual talent to his shithole.
And only get lawyers from non prestigious law school with c-passing grades
Well, that is probably going to limit the quality of graduates he can get.
They want Lionel Hutz, not Robert Shapiro.
Don't you dare besmirch the name of Lionel Hutz - terrible lawyer: yes; actively enforcing racism and denying people's identities: no.
Close, it is a way to only hire students from schools that pass a purity test.
there’s a good chance that their students will be pliable
Purity tests limit the quality of people you can get.
Fair enough, but don’t underestimate these SOBs.
He will probably still hire white people from there though
Ignoring the best candidates for the ones who fit his idea of what race & gender should fill the roles, why does this concept seem familiar?
It's the same thing when employers hired elitist professional because they went to a prestigious school over someone with more experience
I want to know what he considers DEI to be, since every one of these shitbags have a different definition.
Everyone that is not white
White power
It means from universities with black students.
Or women.
Or transgender.
Or heathens.
Or poor.
Or disabled.
The list is essentially anyone who is not a Christian white cis male.
These guys sure do make Satan sound much less horrifying than their version of "Christianity"
Ask them to spell it out, if they can
Anything not involving white males.
Hmm, Ed Martin is from Missouri and we are well acquainted with him here. Far, far right, Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum, big "Stop the Steal" guy, and all that.
Couple of highlights:
"They found that Martin had used his state office in 2007 improperly to encourage opposition to Attorney General Jay Nixon among anti-abortion groups, as the Democrat Nixon was likely to oppose Blunt in the next election."
"[Eckersley] filed a lawsuit against Martin and Blunt for his firing, saying he had been trying to enforce the state law for retention of emails . . . On May 22, 2009, the Missouri Attorney General's office announced that Eckersley's lawsuit against Blunt and others had been settled for $500,000."
[Tldr: He illegally fired a guy to illegally stop release of state records that showed a bunch of illegal and shady stuff he and others he was working with were doing.]

Hey, I got an idea...
Let's threaten one of the top legal schools in the country with an unconstitutional demand!
Surely this won't end in a lawsuit
We're going to need lots of popcorn.
He's gonna get those lawyers from Devry and Phoenix University
He's going to source his lawyers who can't pass the bar
Equal opportunity employer?
All federal agencies are covered by the laws enforced by EEOC.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission enforces Federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. These laws protect employees and job applicants against employment discrimination when it involves:
- Unfair treatment because of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, transgender status, and sexual orientation), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.
- Harassment by managers, co-workers, or others in the workplace, because of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.
- Denial of a reasonable workplace accommodation that the employee needs because of religious beliefs, disability, or pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.
- Retaliation because the employee complained about job discrimination, or assisted with a job discrimination investigation or lawsuit.
In short, something good but expensive.
Frankly IRL these things are done properly by employers which would behave even without legal pressure, and when not - it won't become much worse.
But these people, I think, just want to cut costs from the wrong corner.
Just change they name of it so that they would have to be specific about the policies they demand be ended instead of just saying "D.E.I. bad".
when i see disgusting pricks saying something like this i go into exploited mood...beat the bastards...like we did with those nazis in the eighties...
We will fight the forces of WOKE from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli!!!
