I take your point, Doug. What I was trying to say is that there are also other ideals that advocates of DEI or reluctant to acknowledge, much less engage. Like freedom, for example. Or order. There’s a case for them to be as honored as equality.
Jim, I don't think the majority of critics of DEI object to the notion of equality as the highest moral good. They object to the notion of orchestrated equity as the highest moral good. Even life long liberals, myself included, find equity to be pernicious and ultimately harms both the historically oppressor group and the historically oppressed.
