Nevada attorney general Aaron Ford, the likely Democratic nominee for governor, is rallying behind diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, regardless of their unpopularity, as the Trump administration investigates the largest university in his state over allegations of racial discrimination.
Ford participated in an Aug. 11 African American Policy Forum event dedicated to brainstorming ways to maintain a "multiracial democracy" and argued on a panel that DEI is the way forward. ...
The gubernatorial candidate attended another conference in April, this one hosted by Al Sharpton's National Action Network, at which he called on the audience to "stay woke" while fighting for DEI.
"That's why they’ve got a war on woke, you understand?" he asked. "They don't want you asking what's going on. They want you ignorant. They want you complacent. That's why they're changing history books right before your eyes, and so it's important that you stay woke and that you continue asking questions and hold folks accountable."
