  • Summary

  • If DEI proponents were being honest, they’d say, “We're going to bring in people that may not have traditional criteria or traditional resumes, but we're willing to take that risk with your life,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on this edition of “Victor Davison Hanson: In His Own Words.” After President Donald Trump’s critics lashed out last week when he broached the idea that DEI hiring standards may have played a role in the disastrous midair collision over the Potomac River, a class action lawsuit surfaced, claiming that the Federal Aviation Administration turned away “1,000 air traffic controller applicants, solely based on their race,” reported Fox News. The FAA "disbanded a lot of university programs that encourage people with military experience or encourage people that had courses in scientific disciplines or mathematics or aeronautics, not to apply.” “The thing about DEI—what Trump brought up with the FAA—ask yourself something: If it's so good, why don't people just say that? Why don't they just say, we're willing to have collateral damage? We're going to bring in people that may not have traditional criteria or traditional resumes, but we're willing to take that risk with your life. They never say that.” For Victor’s latest thoughts, go to: https://victorhanson.com/ Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
