Companies and government agencies claim to be putting an end to the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs as Americans turn against DEI, but can you believe them? Are they really ending their DEI programs. In many cases, no.
The horribly un-American Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is a perfect example of the chicanery involved in “shutting down” these wasteful, racist DEI offices.
President Donald Trump, for instance, signed an executive order officially putting an end to any DEI programs in his administration. So, that would me that all federal agencies would have to begin shutting down these woke programs and eliminating the useless employees that run them.
So what did the ATF do? It engaged in some jiujitsu to make it look like it was ending the department, but, did it? Probably not.
Take a look at the ATF’s leadership team website, for instance. On Monday — before Trump signed his order — the team included Lisa T. Boykin, who called the “Chief Diversity Officer” in the Office of the Director.
But two days later, Boykin was still listed as an employee. And yet her “title” sure was different. On Wednesday her title was merely listed as “Senior Executive.”
The ATF was just caught rebranding their Chief Diversity Officer to Chief Officer to circumvent President Trump's order.

So, what does that mean?
By rights, she should have simply been fired and her office eliminated. Instead, she was just given a different title. Of course, this means that she is still perpetrating the garbage she was originally hired to do. Only now they just aren’t calling it the same thing.
This is happening in a lot of corporations and schools, too. They are claiming they are ending DEI, but they are just renaming their efforts, changing titles, and keeping on with their nonsense.
