This is so absurd that the mind boggles. Do these people have any shame whatsoever? Diversity is Discrimination? Slavery? What??

A letter from a coalition of states attorneys general, including Tennessee AG Jonathan Skrmetti, compares compares diversity policies within many Fortune 100 companies to slavery and racial segregation.

“Diversity breeds innovation and the companies that attract the most talented and diverse workforce will succeed in our rapidly changing world,” Ford says on its “Equity, Diversity and Inclusion” section of its website devoted to job-seekers.
